Friday night was both wild and memorable for budding lightweight prospect-turned-contender Sharif ?The Lion? Bogere. Fighting in his adopted hometown of Las Vegas, the Ugandan-born Bogere would finish off previously-unbeaten Francisco Contreras in third round of a bout that left a few people perplexed.
The battle of unbeatens took place at the Texas Station Hotel and Casino for the world to see on the popular ShoBox: The New Generation series and the action didn?t disappoint. From the outset a stalking Bogere would press the Dominican-born Contreras, who used his mobility and superior range to give the 22-year old fits.Contreras had success countering his aggressive foe in the first round and Bogere admits that it was a trying three minutes.
