Shrago, an 18 year old Israeli, has loads of experience in the junior amateur ranks representing the Tyson Mireli team. He has been working with coach Artur Zlatopolski since he was 13 years old. A four-time Israeli national champion, he has experience at the European junior championships and at the under-19 world championships. Shrago just moved up to senior level this year.
A southpaw, Shrago is mature and poised in the ring beyond his years. He's a probing fighter who will unleash a dangerous straight left when the opportunity presents itself. Shon possesses a clever right hook that often is thrown outside the field of vision of the opponent. It's a sweeping shot that he lets go when he's in close or when his foe is turned and facing away from Shon's right hand. When he's comfortable, Shrago will fight with his hands down. Though a skilled fighter, he can get rough when needed.
In Blindu, Shrago will face a 21 year old from Chisinau. Blindu is 0-2; both fights were stoppages in the second round. The Moldovan will let his hands go, which should give Shrago plenty of opportunities to counter as long as he's cautious. Blindu also has MMA experience, although he was stopped in his two contests before the ring announcer could find his seat.
Shrago has fought as heavy as junior middleweight, but this contest is listed for the lightweight division. It's scheduled for four rounds, but it likely won't last that long.
