Yan Zak Dominates in Debut

Cruiserweight Yan Zak burst onto the pro scene with a dominating first round knockout against the more experienced Darshan Singh today the Round 10 Boxing Club in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Zak showed he was several classes above Singh in a convincing display of boxing and punching.

Wearing nondescript red trunks with white trim, Zak peppered his jab into Singh's face and body to keep the free-swinging brawler from India at bay. The 25 year old  Israeli then scored with a punishing left hook to the body. He soon worked in his right to both the head and body. Singh was quickly in bad shape and a left hook to the body forced him to take a knee. The referee reached the count of ten about two minutes and twenty seconds into the fight.

Zak's performance was thorough. He boxed well, showed devastating power to the body, picked his punches well, and was extremely accurate. He kept his hands low to bait Singh so Zak could counter the wide-punching 20 year old. Zak's Reyes gloves were so quick that when Singh even thought about throwing, Zak's straight shots were already landing.

If Zak concentrates on a pro career, he has the tools and the style to go far. He's 1-0 with 1 KO while Singh is now 2-5 with 2 KOs. This was the first time the durable Singh has been stopped.
