Khalil El Hadri (28 years old, 1.70 m, now 19 victories, including 9 before the limit, 2 defeats on points) dethroned the European super featherweight champion (-58.967 kg), the Spanish left-hander Juan Felix Gomez (27 years old, 1.69 m, 13 wins, including 2 before the playoff, 1 draw, now 1 L), Saturday evening at the Guy-Kappes Gymnase, in Lagny-sur-Marne (Seine-et- Marl).
The three officials logically decided for the French: 117-111 according to the Finn Santeri Kanninen and the Belgian Philippe Wouters, 115-114 for the Irish David John Irving.
The member of the BAM L’heritage des Mureaux club (Yvelines), big fan of PSG, as evidenced by his shorts with the crest of the French football champions and the presence of some of his ultras with the bass drum, s He is imposed thanks to his direct left, his speed and his greater activity. On the other hand, Gomez didn’t do enough and, during his rare attacks, his punches generally ended in nothing.
Gomes imprecise
During the first three rounds, the two men mainly relied on their direct front arm, the left for the French right-hander, the right for the Spanish left-hander. The fight became tougher in the fourth, as they were more active and worked in force. But, in the next round, they went back to betting on a single move. The Spaniard struck more heavily, but the Frenchman dodged.
Sensing that Gomez was not doing enough, his coaches pushed him to react and, in the eighth round, he was more active, delivering two-punch combinations and advancing, but the speed and mobility of his official challenger hampered him. . The Spaniard had a tendency to throw himself and his punches landed in the void. Not all, as demonstrated by the hematoma under the Frenchman’s right eye. But, in the tenth, Gomez again did very little, his opponent taking the opportunity to recover. Scolded by his trainer during the final minutes of rest, Gomez remained imprecise and failed to retain his title.
In the same program, the super-lightweight Bakari Diallo (20 years old, 64.200 kg, 8 wins, 1 win) and the light heavyweight Saad Fathi Saad (25 years old, 80.400 kg, 5 wins, 1 win) respectively beat the Argentinian Sergio Escobar and the Moldovan Andrei Sanjura on points in six rounds.
