\"Detroit<\/a>By Richard \u201cDoc\u201d Pratt<\/strong><\/p>\n

The full card for the next installment of Salita Promotions Detroit Brawl coming up on July 16 has been announced.<\/p>\n

The main event will have the WBO #5, IBF #5, WBC #7 and current NABF heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz\u2019s, JR., 27-0, 18 KO\u2019s in a 10-round, non-title bout against Josh \u201cJosh Dempsey\u201d Gormley, 22-4, 21 KO\u2019s. This will be one of the biggest fights in Detroit in many years and should provide some excellent entertainment! <\/p>\n

Scheduled on the undercard will be 22 year old Giorgi Gelashvili, 4-0, 2 KO\u2019s fighting out of Brooklyn NY facing a veteran on the comeback trail, Eric Hall 8-9-1, 4 KO\u2019s of Durand, Michigan in a super lightweight six-rounder. Hall\u2019s last fight took place at the Motor City Casino Detroit against a lightweight out of Ypsilanti, Garvin Crout, 11-10, 6 KO\u2019s and had him winning by 3rd round TKO after knocking Crout down three times in the round. He looked sharp as I covered the card from ringside and he hopes to be on a successful comeback after stepping away from the ring for 5 years in 2008. Since 2015 he\u2019s had an SD loss, SD draw and the TKO.<\/p>\n

Also on the card will be Detroit favorite and cruiserweight prospect Demetrius Banks, 7-0, 4KO\u2019s facing off against Eric George, 4-11,4 KO\u2019s. He\u2019s coming to Detroit by way of Niagara Falls, New York. I witnessed Banks last two appearances at this venue and was impressed with his abilities and strength.<\/p>\n

Next up we have another Detroit favorite, Middleweight Dorell Van Horn, JR. 9-0, 6 KO\u2019s vs. Ryan Soft, 3-5-1, 1 KO. I was at Van Horn, JR\u2019s last fight in May of this year against Francisco Javier Reza, 13-17, 10 KO\u2019s where he scored an impressively quick, first round KO!<\/p>\n

Serdar Hudayberdiyev, 2-0, 2 KO\u2019s of Turkmenabat, Turkmenistan, will faceoff with Steven Andrade, 3-0, 2 KO\u2019s of Atlanta, Georgia in a welterweight four-rounder.
\nI was present at both Serdar\u2019s victories which were a 4th rd.TKO and a 1st round KO in Feb. and May of this year respectively. He\u2019s quick and accurate.<\/p>\n

Two other fights of note for the Detroit area is the pro debut of \u201cSouthpaw Prince\u201d Gheith Karim, Dearborn, Michigan. He\u2019s a three-time national amateur champion. His opponent will be welterweight Dean Walsh, JR., 0-2 of Monroe, Michigan and recently signed by Dmitry Salita; bantamweight out of Detroit, Jarico O\u2019Quinn, 1-0, 1 KO faces Sergio Aguilar 0-3 of Miami Beach, Florida, in a four-round bantamweight bout.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the night we have a 4 round super bantamweight bout pitting Zach Shamoun 3-0-1, 3 KO\u2019s of Royal Oak, Michigan against Jose Elizondo 1-0 of San Antonio, Texas and unbeaten cruiserweight Clarence Dubose 3-0, 3 KO\u2019s from Detroit against Karinn Davis 2-6, 2 KO\u2019s of Jackson, Michigan in a four round cruiserweight battle.<\/p>\n

This should prove to be one of the best cards in Detroit in some time providing some excitement and will be well worth the ticket price!<\/p>\n

Until Next time. Keep your gloves up and elbows in!<\/p>\n
