Luna Park once again felt the mystique of the golden eras of boxing for a few seconds. The ring was filled with spectacularity thanks to the Argentine Gustavo Lemos in the main event: he finished his presentation in just 34 seconds with a perfect blow to the chin of his opponent, Javier Clavero, who could not avoid the knockout in this event of the weights. superlight scheduled for 10 rounds.
El Eléctrico, 27 years old, had accumulated 21 months of inactivity at the time of entering the ring at Luna Park. The last time he officially wore the gloves had been in the most resonant presentation of his career, also at the legendary Corrientes and Bouchard venue. On March 26, 2022, he had defeated the British Lee Selby, former world champion, with a KO in the fifth round.
While waiting for a fight for a world title, he did not appear in the rings again and this Friday he had a high-impact return. In that half a minute that he had against Clavero, he had landed some good blows, but the most effective was the one that hooked the opponent coming out of the corner after the siege and walking backwards: the left-handed cross to his face immediately knocked him down. . Even though the referee decided to end the fight before the official count, they even threw in the towel from the 30-year-old fighter’s corner.
Clavero, nicknamed the Heir, came to this presentation with three fights without wins after a loss in France by unanimous decision against Yurik Mamedov and two fights in Argentina without a decision. In total, his ranking returns 30 wins (7KO), 11 losses and 2 draws for the Cordoban.
Lemos is one of the most interesting names on the local scene with his 29 consecutive celebrations, among which he added 19 quick wins, without counting draws or defeats. Among his achievements are the IBF Latin lightweight and super lightweight titles, as well as the IBF junior lightweight world crown.
This evening was key for Lemos’ career, which went from raising expectations of seeing him fight for a world title in the International Boxing Federation after his crushing victory over Selby to an extensive disappearance from the scene that excluded him from the rankings. That is why this overwhelming, spectacular, viral victory brings him back to the main focus of boxing in order to reposition himself on the international scene.
Although we must not lose sight of the fact that Eléctrico added little action in the ring in the last three years: from the end of 2020 until today he added only five appearances, including this victory over Clavero and the aforementioned KO against Lee Selby.
