Last Sunday, a lost battle over Daniel Gil Roman Karmazin for internal bleeding back of the brain. A few days ago, Russian announced his retirement. On the failed meeting with Oscar De La Hoya, two championship belts, successes and disappointments collaboration with Don King, as well as two attempts to engage with the material in the box Down-the-line.com.

Roman Karmazin – one of the most prominent Russian boxers in history. But perhaps one of the most unlucky. In boxing it cited the case. As a gymnast, he decided to posparringovat with schoolmates, who once brought to class gloves. Gymnastics and boxing for three years co-existed peacefully, but the latter still prevailed.

Was then moved to St. Petersburg, and lack of money, because of which the usual diet of Roman were the loaves of sugar, working as a loader and an exception to the section where Karmazin had quarreled with the coach, and finally the fateful meeting with Igor Lebedev.

His career started in 1996, four years Karmazin won 21 battle of the 22, but the opportunity to compete for the title was not. Oscar De La Hoya to meet with Roman was eager not by inventing himself injured hand. Russians for a long time waiting for this fight, but instead he was offered a championship belt to enter the ring against Javier Castillejo for the title of “interim champion” by the WBC. In equal fight over disputed referee's decision is not in favor of Karmazin.

“began his professional career in 1996, four years Karmazin won 21 battle of the 22″

Roman knew that to lose: “I practiced on the eve of match day and night, it seemed to me that a great shame to lose. I jumped up in the night, was taken to practice strokes, then fell exhausted, slept and I dreamed about boxing. In other words by then I was crying nuthouse “.

After the defeat, he decided to strike up with boxing. Went to his coach, who had quarreled with before the fight, gave him a piece of the fee and said that she was leaving. Lebedev refused to take money, and talk to the wards did not want. But a month later thawed and asked Karmazin to the gym. He agreed more out of curiosity, but then became involved. We had to start all over again. A heavy blow was the death of Lebedev.

Road to the title easier Don King, although his contract was, to say the least, impractical. But if the promoter to the scandalous Russian struggled for two years, in fact, just so, with King way to the top shortened to one victory over Keith Holmes.

The summer of 2005 took place the battle for the IBF title with Kassim Ouma. Nicknamed the “Made in Hell” Karmazin began to justify minutes. Napropuskav in the first two rounds, a lot of punches to the body, in the third Ouma was in the liver and sank to the floor. Immediately Karmazin had a combination to the head, ending knockdown. If it were not gong, Kassim would hardly get up. It is necessary to pay tribute to ugandtsu, he managed to level the contest but the benefits produced by Roman needed to win: 117-109, 116-110, 118-108.

In the next fight Karmazin Inter won the title of world champion under version WBA, in the third round by knocking out Alejandro Garcia. However, after this career went down. A few months are selected Alex Bunam, and then Russian was not like himself.

“In the locker room before the fight with Alex Bunam I practically slept, went out to the ring like a lunatic. In fact, it's a miracle that I survived until the tenth round. He walked around the ring just barely, as the blows were padded. I was hoping that may be able to doterpet points. I remember praying to God to help. ” Karmazin no doterpel. In the tenth round Bunam sent him to knock down and then easily finished off.

“I know how much. I love boxing. I – have to go”

Novel a second time thinking about retirement: “Frankly, I'm fighting something almost do not remember – so that individual fragments. The body is disconnected. I was just in the hospital after the fight came to, people began to learn. When I think that perhaps more than ever in the ring does not come out, pouring tears from his eyes. In better shape than it is now, I never was. I know how much. I love boxing. I – have to go “.

Roman returned to boxing promise of Don King to arrange a rematch with Bunam. But a retaliatory battle never took place. After that, the boxer refused to unfavorable supply and the promoter decided to stop working with him. “I have long been dissatisfied. He almost did not let me fight. Just think: in two years I spent only four fights. And on my part to any failure was not just King could not or would not find a proposal that would suit him too “.

King Without

Karmazin won McCarthy, knocked dos Santos and Miranda, becoming the mandatory challenger for IBF title in the middleweight champion. The fight for the belt with Sebastian Sylvester could take place in Russia, but this option was not profitable. The native German soil Sylvester won a draw and was a champion.

As it turned out, the last time Karmazin stepped into the ring October 31 this year. After 12 rounds with Daniel Gil and technical knockout Russians were hospitalized with internal bleeding back of the brain. A few days ago, Roman has decided to retire.
