This past Saturday, the state of Aragua, Venezuela played host to the ninth edition of the WBA Future of Venezuelan Boxing, held at the Centro Recreacional Yesterday, a venue rich in local boxing history. In the main event, 20-year-old Diego Carbajal (7-0, 4 KOs) kept his unbeaten record intact with an explosive finish, stopping fellow Venezuelan Danny Núñez (3-4-1) in the fifth round... Gleybert Maia (9-0, 3 KOs), just 21 years old, continues to evolve into a polished and technical fighter. He faced off against Yorman Sulbaran (2-3), an aggressive and scrappy opponent, but it was Maia’s discipline and ring generalship that stood out. As the rounds progressed, “Canelito” took control of the center of the ring and landed with growing accuracy and power, securing a unanimous decision victory... Pablo Emilio Molina Gamarro (4-2-2), age 25, was making his first appearance of the year and notched his third straight victory. His clash with Jorge Espinoza (2-2-1) was hard-fought and evenly matched, but in the end, the difference came down to the a two-point deduction Espinoza received for repeatedly spitting out his mouthguard, which tilted the judges’ scorecards in Molina’s favor.
