Roman "Made in Hell" Karmazin
Roman Karmazin, from Russia, fighting out of Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, California, trained by Freddie Roach and Boris Zykanov is capable of fighting any style opponent. Karmazin is relentless in the ring. He's a straight ahead boxer/puncher with a powerful left hook who is also a good counter puncher and can deliver devastating body blows.
On July 14, 2005 Karmazin won a shockingly easy 12-round decision in one of the major upsets of the year taking away Kassim Ouma's IBF light middleweight title. Karmazin sent Ouma to the canvas twice in round three. April 2, 2005 Karmazin beat Keith Holmes by a 12-round majority decision in an IBF light middleweight title eliminator bout setting the stage for his title fight with Ouma.
In his first defense on July 8, 2006 Karmazin lost his IBF light middleweight title to Cory Spinks by a 12-round controversial majority decision in Saint Louis, Missouri, Spinks' home town. It was felt by many that Karmanzin won the fight or at least pulled a draw. It was Karmazin's only loss since 2002 when he fought and lost in yet again another controversial decision to Javier Castillejo in Castillejo's home town of Madrid, Spain. Coming off his loss to tricky Cory Spinks, Karmazin improved his record beating James Obede Toney by a 4th round KO at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida on January 6, 2007.
