Brass Band: Munguia gets a noisy introduction to a new stage in his career 

By Norm Frauenheim –

GLENDALE, Ariz — Roofs came at a lot of angles. Joey Dawejko has walked them all and never fallen off one.

“I’ve got pretty good balance,’’ said Dawejko, a roofer when he’s not a heavyweight. 

It’s the well-balanced heavyweight who will test another well-balanced prospect, Richard Torrez Jr., Saturday night in an entertaining co-main event on a Top Rank, ESPN-televised card featuring super-middleweights Jaime Munguia-Erik Bazinyan at Desert Diamond Arena.

Dawejko (28-11-4, 16 KOs) figures to be a pretty good test of Torrez’ credentials, including a silver medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and a perfect record (10-0, 10 KOs). 

“He’s a great prospect, silver medalist and all’’ said Dawejko, who was 244.1 pounds Thursday at the official weigh-in on the Desert Diamond Arena floor.  “I think it’s the right time in our careers for this fight. Obviously, Top Rank called me to test this guy. Taking this fight was easy for me, because I’ve been in there and am used to different styles.

“I’m ready to show him how the pros work.’’

From roof to canvas, Dawejko, who appeals to the blue-collar in all boxing fans, has the kind of broad experience that is also there in Torrez. Torrez, of Tulare Calif, continues to take dancing classes.

“For my footwork,’’ he said.

Now, he’s added to the course load.

“Tennis lessons,’’ said Torrez, who was at 232.6 pounds Thursday. “Moving around to get a shot at the tennis ball forces you to do even more footwork.’’

Dawejko has learned most of his footwork on roofs. Flat roofs, pitched roofs. He’s walked them all as the owner of his own roofing company in hometown Philadelphia. He’s named it after his ring name. He’ll go back to it, Tank’s Knockout Roofing, after the fight.

“I’ve focused on training through this whole camp,’’ said Dawejko, who wears a tank logo on his T-shirts and caps.

Torrez expects a great fight.

“A really cool battle,’’ he said. “I don’t think we’re going to take back steps too much.’’

Mbilli Decisions Derevyanchenko

Christian Mbilli won a 10-round unanimous decision over a game Sergiy Derevyancheko in a super middleweight bout at the Videotron Centre in Quebec Centre in Quebec City, Canada

In round three, Derevyanchenko injured his left bicep. The Ukrainian became a one-handed a fighter as he could only throw the hand. He fought valiantly, but Mbilli was able to constantly and consistently land thudding shots in combination, swelling both of Derevyanchenko’s eyes in the process. Derevyanchenko did as well as he could, but the amount of the damage that was accumulated should have forced a corner stoppage, but Derevyanchenko fought on in round 10, but took unneeded punishment

Mbilli landed 215 of 696 punches. Derevyanchenko was 135 of 453.

Mbilli, 167.4 lbs of Montreal, CAN won by scores of 100-90, 99-91 and 98-92 and is now 28-0. Derevyanchenko, 167.1 lbs of Mykoslav, UKR is 15-6.

“He’s a warrior. He was in a difficult position, but he fought back. I’m going to go back home and look at the fight again.

“Right now, I’m ready for big fights. I want to be a world champion. I know that to be the best, I have to beat the best. I don’t want to say any names, but everybody knows who’s number one. I want the fight with number one.”

Derevyanchenko said, “My legs were good. I only had one arm. I needed to move. When I stayed, he punched in combinations.

“He’s a good boxer, a strong boxer. But if I had two hands, I think it would be another situation.”

Vianello, 245.8 lbs of Rome, ITA is 13-2-1 with 11 knockouts. Makhmudov, 260 lbs of Montreal is 19-2.

Vianello said, “I am a contender now. I am ready for the world level, and I proved that tonight.

“I thought I beat Efe Ajagba, and I came into this fight with a lot of confidence. I was in the best shape of my career, and that showed tonight. I dominated him and then knocked him out.

“I just had to stay composed. There was a knockdown that wasn’t called, but I knew if I stuck to my strategy, I would get the knockout.”

Osleys Iglesias remained undefeated with a second round stoppage over former world title challenger Sena Agbeko in a 10-round super middleweight bout.

Mason, 136 lbs of Cleveland is 15-0 with 13 knockouts. Ohan, 136.7 lbs of Holbrook, MA is now 19-3.

“Right now, it’s back to the gym. We’re going to take a little time off and be right back. I’ve got another fight coming up at the end of this year, probably sometime in November. We’re going to get that finalized soon,” Mason said. “We executed the game plan how we wanted to. I set the initiative a little bit early because I saw that he wasn’t coming forward. I think he might’ve been surprised with how clean the shots were landing.”

Lelia Beaudoin won a 10-round unanimous decision over Lizbeth Crespo in a junior lightweight bout.
