Judging scores: 97-93, 99-91 and 100-90.
“It was my debut on Showtime, I won and now I'm happy as a child. I felt that I was in control of the fight, although the opponent was very fast and tried to deliver his accented blow, ”Cherkashin said after the fight.
“I wanted to feel full range combat at this level. Fighting in the United States is a great opportunity for me, and therefore I gained important experience. Gallimore was very tough, dangerous and uncomfortable, this is a valuable experience," Cherkashin added.
This year, Cherkashin fought two fights and intends to continue his American appearances next year.
“I have taken another step forward. I flew to the USA in April, fought the first fight in August, now the second, but I'm ready for new tests in America," Cherkashin said.
