SubscribeMazel tov, Dmitriy Salita
The Orthodox-Jewish boxer kept his perfect record intact, beating Derrick Campos on Nov. 8 at Madison Square Garden to improve to 29 wins and one draw (16 knockouts).
Dan Rafael from ESPN.com described the bout:
Salita won a unanimous decision … although it was a very difficult fight for the New York-based Ukrainian.
Judge Robin Taylor absurdly had it a 120-108 shutout for Salita, who was hurt several times and on the verge of going down a few times. Matt Ruggero had it 117-111 and Don Ackerman had it 115-113, both for Salita. Salita was originally supposed to challenge junior welterweight titleholder and countryman Andreas Kotelnik. However, Kotelnik suffered a rib injury in his first defense on Sept. 13 and withdrew from the bout. Campos had several big moments, including in the fourth round when he hurt Salita with body shots and had him on the verge of going down.
