Barry Groenteman (7-5-1, 2 KOs) is scheduled to face veteran journeyman Araik Sachbazjan on April 21 at the Wellness Profi Center in Pumerand, Holland. Sachbazjan (13-20, 6 KOs) is from the Czech Republic by way of Armenia. The 39 year old won his first seven career fights, but has lost 15 of his last 16. Those 16 fights have all taken place within the last three years.
Groenteman lost a disputed split decision against Andrea Carbonello last month, which snapped his four-fight winning streak. Sachbazjan represents the most experienced opponent of Groenteman's career to this point. The bout is scheduled for eight rounds.

Busy April Planned for Netzer
Coming off of his second professional victory, Danny "Silent" Netzer has two bouts scheduled this month. Netzer, an Israeli Canadian, is also a Krav Maga instructor.
A middleweight, Netzer was drastically outweighed by both of his opponents in his first two career bouts. Last November, he gave up four and half pounds to Eric Roy, a veteran boxer with a winning record. Netzer knocked him out in the third round. This past weekend, Netzer was at a five pound disadvantage against Steven Tyner. Danny won by majority decision.
On April 17, Netzer is scheduled to face Phil "The Assassin" Rose (3-1-1, 3 KOs) as part of the Shaw Festival boxing event, which will take place in Ontario, Canada. Former heavyweight champion Gene Tunney and writer George Bernard Shaw were friends and the Tunney family set up a trust fund for the Shaw Festival in honor of their friendship. The trust fund holds a charity boxing event annually.
Rose last fought in September in a light heavyweight bout against a winless opponent. Rose, who weighed 174.75 pounds in that fight, is 1-1-1 in his last three bouts. Netzer hasn't weighed in at over 164 pounds in either of his two contests.
If all goes well for Danny, he will head down to Panama City, Panama to fight at Arena Roberto Duran on April 26.

Wohlman Earns First KO
Zachary "Kid Yamaka" Wohlman took his first professional knockout on Saturday night against his last-minute opponent Clifford McPherson at the Warner Center Marriott in Woodland Hills, California. The fight only lasted for a minute and 44 seconds before referee Lou Moret reached the ten count stopping the contest. McPherson injured his thumb in the fight.
Questions had surfaced in the boxing community about the degree of Wohlman's power. He managed to put Ricardo Malfavon down with a left hook in his debut, but didn't show much ability to hurt his opponents otherwise. That changed this past weekend. Wohlman moves to 3-0 with one KO. McPherson descends to 2-9-1 with one KO.
