Hungarian-born and Germany based Zsolt \u201cMr. Lefthook\u201d Bedak, the WBO No. 1 contender, fights outside of Europe for the first time in his pro career May 29 against WBO Junior Featherweight Champion Wilfredo \u201cWV2\u201d Vazquez, Jr., headlining the \u201cUndefeated Champions\u201d pay per view event, airing live in the United States from Bayamon, Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n

\u201cUndefeated Champions,\u201d presented by PR Best Boxing in association with All Star Boxing, features three world title bouts. It is being distributed in the United States by Integrated Sports Media for live viewing at 9 PM\/ET \u2013 6 PM\/PT on both cable and satellite pay-per-view via iN Demand, DIRECTV, and DISH Network, for a suggested retail price of only $34.95.<\/p>\n

Boricua star Vazquez (18-0-1, 15 KOs), the son of a former world champion (Wilfredo Vazquez), makes his first title defense against unbeaten challenger Bedak (14-0-1, 12 KOs), who doesn\u2019t believe fighting for the first time outside of Europe will be a problem for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will indeed be my first pro fight outside of Europe and, sure, this is a new situation for me,\u201d Bedak explained. \u201cHowever, I am not really concerned about this. Also, the champ is in a special situation because it can be even harder to fight in one\u2019s hometown as fans, friends, family, sponsors, etc. can put quite some pressure on a boxer defending his title and not wanting to disappoint them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bedak, 26, captured the WBO European and WBO Inter-Continental super bantamweight titles last year. \u201cThis will, of course, be my most important fight and it\u2019s an honor for me to be shown in television in the U.S.,\u201d Zsolt added. \u201cI expect a fair and open fight. I am prepared to go 12 rounds \u2013 I always do — and would not be surprised if the fight goes the full distance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI rely on a good combination of technique and power, as well as quick moves and jabs. Vazquez is a complete and very skilled fighter, offensively. I\u2019ve fought four Latin fighters, so I have some experience with that style.\u201d<\/p>\n

WBO junior lightweight champion Roman \u201cRocky\u201d Martinez (22-0-1, 14 KOs) makes the second defense of his title in the 12-round co-feature against WBO No. 10 rated Gonzalo \u201cEl Destructor\u201d Mungia (17-6-3, 13 KOs) Martinez, rated No. 3 by The Ring, takes on the reigning WBO Latino super featherweight title-holder, Nicaraguan challenger Mungia.<\/p>\n

The third world title fight on this explosive, highly-entertaining card matches females Hanna Gabriel (9-0-1, 5 KOs) and Gardy Pena (9-1-2, 6 KOs) for the vacant WBO super welterweight crown in a 10-round bout. Fighting on the undercard are the Arroyo twins, bantamweight McJoe (1-0, 1 KO) and McWilliams (1-0, 1 KO), the former Puerto Rican Olympians. All fights and fighters are subject to change.<\/p>\n
