David Kaminsky's Boxer Stabbed During Training

David Kaminsky and his charge, the rapper Blueface, were training at the Kaminsky Gym when a man interrupted the session and an altercation ensued.

Kaminsky (6-0-1) stepped between the man and Blueface in an attempt to calm the situation. According to video, a gloved-up Blueface seems to pop up around Kaminsky and sucker-punch the man. The video cuts out before the alleged stabbing. Paramedics arrived and took a man to the hospital with a stab wound, but they would not confirm the identity of the victim. The alleged assailant has been arrested.

The 22 year old Kaminsky has been training Blueface since 2021. David recently received his boxing manager's license in the state of California. He last fought in 2020. Last October, Kaminsky was scheduled to fight, but the California State Athletic Commission forced him to undergo surgery for a torn ACL before he could fight again in the state.

News and Notes

Shawn Sarembock, a 31 year old junior middleweight, had been tentatively scheduled to fight on December 16, but his bout has been pushed back to January although nothing is official yet. Check out his interview last month with The Jewish Boxing Blog.

Yuri Foreman worked with his old trainer Joe Grier this past week. Grier, who is retired, helped Foreman win the WBA junior middleweight world championship in 2009. Grier threw in the towel after Foreman tore his ACL in his first title defense against Miguel Cotto in Yankee Stadium. In so doing, Grier attempted to save his fighter by stopping the fight in the eighth round, but referee Arthur Mercante Jr. inexplicably rejected the towel and forced the fight to continue. Foreman, normally an agile boxer, was a sitting duck because of his compromised leg.

David Kaminsky, a 22 year old super middleweight, had surgery this week to repair a torn ACL and MCL. Despite the injuries, he attempted to fight on October 8th, but the California State Athletic Commission won't allow him to enter the ring until his injuries are surgically repaired. The absolute minimum timetable to rehabilitate after ACL surgery is six months, but a year is closer to the norm.

David Kaminsky Off October 8 Card

David Kaminsky had been scheduled to fight on October 8 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, USA but has fallen off the card.

 After suffering his first defeat in June of 2020, Kaminsky had to stay away from the ring because of a serious knee injury. Kaminsky tore his ACL and MCL. The injuries seemed to have healed without surgery, but a doctor with the California State Athletic Commission pulled David off this weekend's card and is requiring surgery before David can fight in the state again.

This must be a frustrating time for the 22 year old prospect. A southpaw with a 6-1 record, Kaminsky is a slick boxer with a lot of skill. By the time he fights again, it will be at least 27 months since he last fought in the ring. He had been scheduled to fight in May. That fight was postponed until June and eventually cancelled. Kaminsky had a fight scheduled for July in Miami, Florida, but that also didn't materialize.

Kaminsky wrote on Instagram, "Surgery should be soon and I'll be back." The Jewish Boxing Blog wishes David a speedy recovery.

David Kaminsky to Fight on October 8

Super middleweight southpaw David Kaminsky is scheduled to make his comeback on October 8 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. Kaminsky is scheduled to appear on the undercard of the Sebastian Fundora-Carlos Ocampo fight, which will air on Showtime.

Kaminsky (6-1, 3 KOs) will have been out of the ring for nearly 28 months when October 8th rolls around. The California resident will have turned 22 years old by then. An Israeli, David has had several fights dates this past spring and summer, but unfortunately, they have fallen through.

Dignity Health Sports Park, formerly known as StubHub Center, is an outdoor stadium completed in 2003 that has witnessed some classic fights in recent years, including Timothy Bradley-Ruslan Provodnikov, two of the four amazing fights in the Israel Vazquez-Rafael Marquez tetralogy, and the first of the bruising Brandon Rios-Mike Alvarado trilogy just to name a few. Hopefully, Kaminsky avoids the level of punishment the men in those fights endured.

No opponent has yet been announced.

Kaminsky Coaches, Lazarev Acts

David Kaminsky has been coaching rapper Blueface for a celebrity boxing match against former NBA player Nick Young, also known as "Swaggy P." Kaminsky, a 21 year old southpaw middleweight, has trained Blueface before. David guided the emcee to a victory in a bareknuckle match last year.

Kaminsky hasn't been in the ring for two years. He had a few fights scheduled over the past few months, but they fell through. The Blueface-Swaggy P match is scheduled for July 30 in Los Angeles, California, U.S. Look for Blueface to come away with the victory.

Igor Lazarev, a lightweight based in Israel, recently played a bodyguard in an Israeli television show. The 36 year old has lost his last three pro fights although that streak is misleading. Against Dominik Harwankowski in March, Igor had a career-best performance. But the Polish judges backed the local boy in a horrendous decision. it turned out that one of the judges had been Harwankowski's mentor in a clear conflict of interest.

Update: The entire celebrity boxing card scheduled for July 30 has been postponed because of an injury to one of the main event fighters.

Kaminsky's Fight is Off

Middleweight David Kaminsky has endured several postponements of his comeback fight this summer. Originally, he was supposed to fight in May, then it was late June, which became early July. He no longer has a scheduled fight date, but hopes to be back in late summer.

Kaminsky likely dodged a bullet with the postponement of his May date. He had been scheduled to fight on a Triller card on May 14 featuring Sergey Kovalev and Kubrat Pulev in separate bouts. According to Dan Rafael of Big Fight Weekend, Triller has not paid Kovalev, Pulev, or Kovalev's opponent, Pulev's brother Tervel.

Kaminsky, a California-based Israeli, will go more than two years without a prizefight the next time he enters one. Some of that time was spent recovering from a knee injury. The southpaw is 6-1 with 3-0 KOs. He's just 21 years old, so he has plenty of time to reinvigorate his boxing career.

David Kaminsky to Fight July 9 in Miami

Middleweight David Kaminsky is now scheduled to fight on July 9 at the Hard Rock Hotel in Miami, Florida, USA. Kaminsky, a 21 year old southpaw, had been scheduled to fight last Saturday in Los Angeles, California. Then, his fight was moved to June 24 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Kaminsky (6-1, 3 KOs) is an Israeli-born resident of California. He works as a personal trainer and boxing coach at his family's gym. Kaminsky possesses fast hands and slick skills. Though his technique is sound, he can be a flashy boxer at times. The awkward style of MMA fighters has given him some trouble during his young career, however.

If it takes place, this will be Kaminsky's first fight on the east coast of the U.S. As a professional, he has fought three times California, thrice in Nevada, and once in Texas.

David Kaminsky's Fight Postponed

Middleweight David Kaminsky's fight has been postponed. It is now scheduled for June 24 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Kaminsky had been scheduled to comeback on May 14 in Los Angeles, California.

Kaminsky, a 21 year old southpaw from Israel, last fought on June 18, 2020. On that date, he suffered his lone career loss, dropping a split decision to Clay Collard. Sporting a record of 6-1 with 3 KOs, Kaminsky is slick boxer with fast hands.

During the layoff, Kaminsky took time to recover from a torn ACL. He trained rapper Blueface for a celebrity boxing match last year. David also parted ways with his promoter, Top Rank.

No opponent has been announced yet.

David Kaminsky to Return after Lengthy Layoff

Middleweight David Kaminsky is scheduled to return to the ring on May 14 at the Forum in Los Angeles, California, USA. Kaminsky has not fought since the lone loss of his pro career on June 18, 2020.

Kaminsky is a 21 year old Israeli-born resident of California. A southpaw, he is 6-1 with 3 KOs. The slick boxer made his debut in 2018.

Kaminsky spent much of the layoff recovering from a serious knee injury. He stayed close to boxing by working and training in the family gym. David also coached famed rapper Blueface in preparation for a celebrity boxing match last July. Kaminsky worked the corner and got involved in a post-fight brawl.

No opponent has been announced as of yet, but the card will be featured on Triller. Check back later with The Jewish Boxing Blog for more information about this bout.

Lazarev Off Tomorrow's Card, Kaminsky to Announce Fight Date

Igor Lazarev was scheduled to fight Angelo Peña tomorrow, Sunday December 26 in Bern, Switzerland. Peña will now make his debut against a different opponent as Lazarev is now off the card. Lazarev is a lightweight while Peña, the local amateur star, fought as a featherweight in the unpaid ranks. It would be hard to imagine Lazarev, at 35 years old, would still feel strong dropping down to 126 pounds for the first time in his career. 

Lazarev fought twice in 2021. In June, he beat Marius Col by majority decision in a six-round bout. A month ago, Igor dropped a decision on points to Greg McGuinness, an undefeated prospect. Lazarev is now 8-2 with 3 KOs.

In a recent Instagram post, David Kaminsky acknowledged that 2021 has been a tough year for him. He hopes to announce a fight date early in 2022. David has been recovering from a serious knee injury.

The 21 year old Israeli is based in California, USA. Currently sporting a 6-1 record with 3 KOs, Kaminsky last fought in June of 2020 when he lost to Clay Collard by split decision. David has primarily fought around the middleweight limit.

Sarembock Trying to Break the Seventh Fight Curse

Shawn Sarembock is scheduled to fight tonight at the famed Big Punch Arena in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. The junior middleweight from Arizona is currently 6-0 with 6 KOs since he turned pro in 2019. The thirty year old will hope to break the seventh-fight curse that has plagued Jewish boxers for the last several years.

The last fighter covered by The Jewish Boxing Blog to raise their record to 7-0 was Tony Milch. Milch scored a six-round points victory over Daniel Borisov on March 7, 2015. He'd go on to win his first 13 pro fights.

On January 16, 2016, Dustin Fleischer won a unanimous decision victory over Lionel Jimenez to go to 6-0. He subsequently retired from prizefighting.

David Kaminsky was 6-0 when he stepped into the ring against Clay Collard on June 18, 2020. Collard came out with a split decision victory denying Kaminsky a 7-0 record. Kaminsky hasn't fought since as he recovers from a knee injury.

Three months later, on September 20, Igor Lazarev attempted to get his seventh victory in as many fights. But Binali Shakhmandarov caught Igor, who could never find his way back into the fight, with a brain-scrambling punch. The ref stopped the contest in the second round, and Lazarev's record fell to 6-1. He is now 8-2.

On April 3 of this year, Benny Sinakin was 6-0 heading into his fight with Afunwa King. King won by majority decision. Benny hasn't been in the ring since.

Sarembock is the fifth Jewish fighter to reach the 6-0 mark since, but if he wins tonight, he would be the first to go 7-0 in over six and half years.

Kaminsky Involved in Wild Brawl after Celebrity Boxing Match

David Kaminsky, an active boxer who worked as a trainer for a celebrity boxing match last night, found himself in the middle of a wild post-fight brawl. Kaminsky, a 6-1 (3 KOs) Israeli-born middleweight, trained Johnathan "Blueface Bleedem" Porter for his bout against Kane "Neumane" Trujillo in Tampa, Florida.

Blueface and Neumane fought in a bout billed as a bareknuckle boxing match although they both wore gloves. The ring was a circle. Both celebrities were new to boxing. Blueface, a rapper and gang member, holds down the more respectable day job as Neumane, a TikToker, has been accused of stealing other's material.

Inside the squared circle- er, I mean circled... uh, circle- Blueface came away with a unanimous decision victory. After the fight, an unauthorized man stormed into the ring and began yelling at Blueface. Kaminsky did what any good trainer would do and backed up his charge.

Blueface punched the man several times as security rushed in. Seven men surrounded Kaminsky and separated him from the intruder. It was likely a wise decision on all accounts as the 20 year old pro boxer was probably the most dangerous man in the ring. (link to video here) It also prevented Kaminsky from falling into trouble with the law. The interloper was yanked out of the circular ring after a struggle and eventually arrested, but not before tensions boiled over out of the ring in the back.

Speaking to Elie Seckbach, Kaminsky recounted the moment the trespasser entered the ring, "He swung at Blueface first and... we all tried to jump on him, but security was holding us back."

About the incident in the back, Kaminsky said, "He tried to talk shit again, he started coming up to Blueface, so we rushed him again."

Kaminsky also admitted to Seckbach that he's recovering from an ACL injury which is currently keeping him out of the ring.

David Kaminsky Training Rapper Blueface Bleedem

Super middleweight David Kaminsky is training rapper Blueface Bleedem for a bare knuckle boxing match on July 23. Blueface faces a TikTok comedian named Kane Trujillo. While this match won't be the reincarnation of Hagler-Hearns, we cannot blame Kaminsky for accepting this celebrity boxing assignment. Enhanced notoriety for Kaminsky Boxing Gym and beefing up his Venmo make it well worth it.

Blueface, born Johnathan Porter, is a rapper known for his offbeat rhymes primarily about his life in a gang. Porter played college football but had no formal training in combat sports before meeting Kaminsky.

Those who decry the increasing prevalence of celebrity pugilists such as Blueface as bad for boxing miss the point. That there is an audience willing to watch celebrity boxing matches shows the power of the sport. No one wants to watch Logan Paul or his brother Jake play tennis or basketball. They'll pay to witness the Pauls lace up the gloves, though.
                               
Boxing at its most exhilarating can be a thrilling action movie. The aforementioned Hagler-Hearns, Chavez-Taylor, Corrales-Castillo, or Ward-Gatti all fall into this category. The difference between an action movie and boxing is that in boxing, the protagonist doesn't reveal himself until the end. The plot is rarely predictable. The action is spontaneous and unscripted.

At its most beautiful, boxing can also take the form of artwork. The masterful performances of Floyd Mayweather, Roy Jones, and Pernell Whitaker fall into this category. Their hit-and-not-get-hit styles were the manly art of self-defense personified.

Boxing is such a special sport, spectators will even watch a rapper fight a comedian. But the rise of celebrity prizefights exposes the failure of the business of boxing. While the combination of violence and artistry is at the heart of boxing's appeal, its failure to market its dedicated, yet anonymous, fighters is at the core of its shortcomings. Kids from hardscrabble beginnings, who toil in sweaty gyms for countless years dreaming of a world title, are too often left behind.

Actual professional boxers almost unfailingly possess interesting backstories. Many, if not most, have lived incredible lives. Yuri Foreman, for example, was twice an immigrant before winning a world title, the first Israeli to do so, and then he became a rabbi. Yet, for whatever reason, their stories aren't told in a way that captivates the audience in the same manner as these celebrity YouTubers and TikTokers.

Mayweather's career shines light on the road ahead. He crept into the minds of casual boxing fans with a supremely-skilled safety-first style. He managed to promote himself into hundreds of millions of dollars while leaving the bloodthirsty unquenched. The problem is Mayweather and the industry were unable to raise the rest of the business.

The audience needs to be better educated about the sport as well. Knowledgeable boxing fans would rather watch the best fight than novices awkwardly launch wide slaps. Unfortunately, unknowledgeable fans far outnumber those in the know.

The celebrity boxers can't be blamed for trying to cash in on their fleeting fame. They owe nothing to boxing. Their desire to take up the sport, and for fans to watch them, confirms boxing's allure. But the popularity of celebrity boxing reveals the failure of the promoters, the networks, and us, the writers, to connect the David Kaminskys of the boxing world with the audience.

Kaminsky Off June 26 Card

Last month, David Kaminsky announced on Instagram his return the ring. He was set to fight on June 26 at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA on the undercard of Vasiliy Lomachenko vs. Masoyoshi Nakatani, which will be broadcasted on ESPN+. However, Kaminsky seems to have been dropped from the card.

Kaminsky, a 20 year old Israeli-born southpaw who resides in California, is 6-1 with 3 KOs. He lost in his last fight, dropping a split decision to Clay Collard a year ago.

Earlier this month, Kaminsky cryptically expressed frustration on social media about Top Rank, the promotional company hosting the June 26 card in Las Vegas. Perhaps relatedly, Kaminsky is no longer listed in the "Fighters" section on the Top Rank website.

The JBB reached out to Kaminsky and Top Rank but received no response from either side.

Schedule Update

Three Jewish boxers are tentatively scheduled to fight within the next two months. Rabbi Yuri Foreman, David Alaverdian, and David Kaminsky all have separate bouts set up.

Junior middleweight Foreman is scheduled to fight on June 19 at Buckhead Fight Club in Atlanta, Georgia, according to BoxRec. A former world champion, Foreman's record stands at 35-3 with 10 KOs. He defeated Jeremey Ramos by decision last December 5. That was Yuri's first fight in nearly four years. He was also ready to take on Jimmy Williams in March, but he became ill the night before the fight. His team pulled him out of the contest as a precautionary measure. As it turned out, Foreman had contracted covid-19, and entered into quarantine immediately upon returning home.

Alaverdian is a 3-0 super flyweight with 2 KOs. He mentioned on his Instagram page that he was preparing for a fight in Mexico on May 7. He last fought four weeks ago, a unanimous decision victory over Daniel Pacheco.

David Kaminsky announced on Instagram that he is scheduled to fight on June 26 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The bout will be televised on ESPN+. Junior middleweight Kaminsky is 6-1 with 3 KOs. A southpaw, David lost his last fight, a split decision to Clay Collard, on June 18, 2020.

Kaminsky Loses Bruising Split Decision

Super middleweight David Kaminsky lost a bloody six-round battle to Clay Collard tonight inside "The Bubble" at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada tonight. Collard, an awkward pressure fighter, outworked the more skilled southpaw.

Both fighters established their game plans in the opening round. Collard rushed forward with his left leg often crossing in front of his right. He fired punches without concern for proper technique or aesthetics. Meanwhile, Kaminsky kept his hands down, aspiring to showcase his blazing hand speed. Even when the 19 year old Israeli-native landed his quick counters, Collard brushed them off and kept charging. Late in the round, Collard threw a straight right, and the wrist of the glove scratched the skin near Kaminsky's left eye drawing blood in the process.

In the second, Kaminsky managed to time Collard's rushes a bit better and Clay's nose oozed out blood. It was a close round as Kaminsky's hard blows may have overtaken Collard's sheer work-rate. Collard inexplicably stayed on the outside for much of the third round, and Kaminsky shrewdly began attacking the body of the 27 year old from Utah.

Collard snatched the fight back in the fourth. His pressure was relentless, and he managed to punctuate many of his unorthodox combinations with his hard skull. As a result, Kaminsky's face looked like that of an automobile accident victim. Referee Vic Drakulich should have warned Collard about the butts. Kaminsky managed to land an effective body shot in the round, but if an indomitable will determined success, Collard would be a world champion. The fifth and sixth rounds were more of the same. Kaminsky slipped in a nice body shot  here and there and threw eye-catching head punches, but Collard's offense was unceasing.

Two judges saw the fight 58-56 for Clay Collard while one judge saw it Kaminsky's way by the same score. The JBB scored the bout 58-56 for Collard.

The JBB mentioned that this was a potential trap fight for Kaminsky, who falls to 6-1 with 3 KOs. Collard, who is now 7-2-3 with two KOs, has everything in an opponent a young fighter should avoid. He is a winning MMA veteran who fought in the UFC; he is very awkward, very tough, and unrelenting; and he has beaten or drawn with a number of prospects, including southpaws.

This loss could be a turning point in David's career. The fear is that the loss could damage his confidence. In reality, it was just the wrong fight for him, and it presents an opportunity to learn. Making weight appeared to be an issue, understandable considering the limitations created by COVID-19. In the ring, David needed to move subtly to either side when Collard rushed in, instead of trying to time him or moving straight back. At that point, Collard would be out of position and Kaminsky could land with out worrying about Collard's head. Kaminsky also started his body attack too late in the fight. Collard is now 6-1 in his last seven fights; that lone loss was to Olympic medalist Bektemir Melikuziev, a southpaw who established center ring early and then finished Collard with a body attack in the fourth round. Kaminsky seemed to try to follow Melikuziev's path, but once it wasn't working in the first round, he needed to shift his strategy.

In defeat Kaminsky would do well to remember something an old Jewish trainer, Whitey Bimstein, once said, "Show me an undefeated fighter and I'll show a guy who's never fought anybody." Kaminsky now has fought someone.

Kaminsky to Face Collard on Thursday

David Kaminsky is scheduled to battle Clay Collard on Thursday, June 18 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. There will be no fans in attendance as a measure to stop the spread of Coronavirus-19.  The bout will air on ESPN as part of the Jose Pedraza-Mikkell LesPierre undercard.

Collard is not your average 6-2-3 boxer from Utah. The 5'11" 27-year old is a veteran MMA fighter with a winning record in that sport who has participated in the UFC. Since becoming a professional boxer three years ago, Collard has been in tough. Counting Kaminsky (6-0 3 KOs), his last eleven opponents will have entered the ring against Clay sporting a combined 65-3 record, which reveals his 6-2-3 mark to be quite impressive.

Collard only won one of his first five boxing matches, but he has improved a ton since. His balance is better and he found his identity as an iron-faced volume puncher. He has won five out of his last six boxing fights. His most impressive win came last September when he hurt and knocked down Gerald Sherrell in the first round on his way to capturing a six-round unanimous decision victory over the Pittsburgh prospect. Sherrell had participated in the latest version on The Contender and KOed Quatavious Cash in the competition. Sherrell was coming off of a win over veteran Morgan Fitch.

Kaminsky is a southpaw, but Collard has faced several quality lefties. In his last fight back in February, Collard hurt hot prospect Raymond Guajardo, a southpaw, in the first round with a sneaky counter left hook, the same punch that floored Sherrell in the opening round of their bout. After Guajardo was counted down again when his gloves touched the canvas, he came back with a snapping left that put Collard down. Collard rose and in the second stanza kept landing to the head and body. With blood pouring out of Guajardo's nose, the fight was stopped and Collard had his second career stoppage victory.

The 19 year old Kaminsky hasn't fought anywhere near the level of competition as has Collard. This will be the eleventh fight for Clay since May 18, 2019 while Kaminsky has fought only twice in that span.

Collard is an awkward fighter. As is common among MMA fighters who switch to boxing, Collard's stance is a bit square and his right foot comes forward in front of the left when he shoots the right hand, an indication of poor balance. Collard will often stay as a southpaw when his right foot comes forward and is as effective from either stance, though he prefers fighting orthodox. Despite this flaw, his balance has improved since he started boxing for money. Collard throws a lot of arm punches just meant to keep on the pressure. He's adept at varying his punch speed and power.

Collard's defense consists of blocking punches with his cheeks. But Collard shrugs off head shots as if they're a summer's mist. 2016 Olympic medalist Bektemir Melikuziev,a southpaw, set the template for how to beat this improved version of Collard. The two-time World Championship medalist controlled center ring with his precise powerful pot-shots for the first three rounds. Then he went to the body and scored two knockdowns before the fight was stopped in the fourth. Collard was the heaviest of his career by far for the Melikuziev fight last November, which didn't help Clay.

Kaminsky didn't experience anywhere near the level of success as an amateur as Melikuziev did, but he has a similar style. This bout will be a true test for the Israel-native who lives in California. It is somewhat of a trap fight. With the unusual circumstances brought on by COVID-19 and Collard's unassuming record and awkward style, this bout seems like a bit of a high-risk low-reward endeavor for Kaminsky. But a win will show that he is a prospect with a very bright future.

The fight will take place at super middleweight, which is an advantage for Kaminsky. It's scheduled for six rounds, a distance in which Collard has fought three times. Kaminsky has never seen the fifth round as a pro as of yet.

Kaminsky Fight Postponed

Middleweight prospect David Kaminsky was scheduled to fight on April 11 at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada on the undercard of Jerwin Ancajas-Jonathan Rodriguez. That card has been postponed indefinitely because of the global pandemic Coronavirus-2019.

Currently, there have been over 17,000 cases of the virus in the United States with that number rising rapidly today. There have been over 200 deaths due to the disease in the country. In Nevada, there have been 96 identified cases and one death thus far.

The number of reported cases are supposed to rise exponentially as testing becomes more readily available. The U.S. is behind other countries in terms of testing for the virus. Because the virus spreads so easily, there likely won't be any boxing matches in the foreseeable future.

Kaminsky Wins by KO

David Kaminsky knocked out Travis Jerig in the second round at Chukchansi Park in Fresno, California tonight. The southpaw landed hard combinations to the body to set up the straight left up top.

Jerig was tentative with his jab from the outset. Kaminsky feinted his way into punching range before throwing rib-breaking body shots with both hands. He stayed in the pocket too long after one combination to the body, and Jerig returned fire. Otherwise, Kaminsky was impressive. Jerig walked back to the corner after the first round with red splotches all over his body, evidence of Kaminsky's assault to the Ohio native's body.

The second round didn't last long. Kaminsky landed a couple of straight lefts that snapped back Jerig's head. After the final straight left, referee Gerard White stopped the contest 26 seconds into the round.

Kaminsky is now 6-0 with 3 KOs. Jerig falls to 3-4-1. This was the first time Jerig has been stopped.

Kaminsky to Fight Jerig Tomorrow

David Kaminsky is scheduled to face Travis Jerig in a super middleweight affair at Chukchansi Park in Fresno, California tomorrow evening. The bout is scheduled to take place on the undercard of Jamel Herring vs. Lamont Roach.

Kaminsky (5-0, 2 KOs) is a southpaw who lands eye-catching shots from the outside and doesn't ignore the body. The 19 year old weighed in at 162.3 pounds for this fight, the fourth time he's been over the middleweight limit and the heaviest of his career.

Jerig (3-3-1) is a 23 year old from Zanesville, Ohio who just welcomed a son to the world. All of his fights have been in either Ohio or West Virginia, and they all have gone the distance. Jerig weighed in at 162, the third time in four fights he has come in just over the middleweight limit.

This will be Kaminsky's first scheduled six rounder. Jerig has gone six round once, a close unanimous decision loss to Jamie Walker over a year ago. The fight will be televised on ESPN+.
