Venezuela defeats Azerbaijan in WSB Season 5

Xinhua, January 26, 2015 Adjust font size:

Venezuela's Caciques defeated Azerbaijan's Baku Fires, runners-up of Season 4, in their second match at World Series of Boxing (WSB) Season 5, local press reported Sunday.

This is a surprising result, considering Venezuela came from a 5-0 defeat in their opening match.

The fights were held in Jose Maria Vargas Stadium in La Guaira, capital of Venezuela's northwest state of Vargas.

Venezuelan boxers Gabriel Mestre (69-kg), Eduard Bermudez (52) and Albert Ramirez (81) all defeated their Azerbaijan's rivals, giving the South American country the victory.

After this victory, Venezuela's Caciques will travel to Miami, United States, to face United States' Knockouts on Jan. 31.

Venezuela will face Puerto Rico's Hurricanes on Feb. 7 and Argentina's Condors on Feb. 14. They will face Italy and Poland's Hussars to complete the whole matches of Group B. Endi
