Victor”byViruZz“Mélida, one of the creators who has been present the most times in Ibai’s Evening of the Yearfaced one of his greatest boxing challenges to date: Gero Ariasone of the fittest participants of the night.
Being the only fight of the night without pre-programmed helmetand taking into account the background of both, it was one of the ones that had generated the most hype, since the presence of one or two knockouts was, to a certain extent, viable.
Furthermore, it was the combat from which the highest level was expected. On the one hand, ViruZz is one of the few guests who has repeated more than twice and those who have practiced boxing beyond La Velada.
For its part, Gero is not only a physical beastbut he is also one of those who has done the craziest training. Given this premise, a collision between two trains was expected. The result did not disappoint.

The first round began evenly, but a tremendous lack of concentration by ViruZz ended with a fall in the first round. The Spaniard, who looked at the referee after understanding that there was an illegality, took a tremendous punch that took him to the canvas.
Gero, who did not stop pressing, actively sought the KO, but ViruZz was able to hold on. He got distracted again and took another big hit, but managed to stay on his feet..
Gero, much more active, did not stop throwing good punches. The pressure was tremendous. The Argentine seemed very superior throughout the first round, and also during the second.
Although Víctor managed to recover some of his energy, he was visibly shaken. He struggled to stay upright and continued exchanging with him.l, even asking for more, demonstrating a tremendous attitude.
But Gero was very intelligent, he knew how to temporize against a ViruZz who knew he needed to give a good hand and knock him down to take the victory.
The feeling during the first two rounds was that Gero had taken them, and that the fight was going 2-0 in rounds, but there was still the third. But instead of playing defensively, Gero continued to actively seek the KO or knockout.
ViruZz was still defiant, trying to get him to be careless, but his strategy backfired, taking several very hard hits in the process. ViruZz finished the fight much more affected than his rival.
To no one’s surprise, the Argentinian took the victory, but Víctor pulled with his heart and soul to stay standing until the end in which, without a doubt, It was one of the best matches of the night, as well as one of the most tense in the history of The Evening of the Year.
