TUCSON, Arizona (November 9, 2019) – Heavy-handed California heavyweight Alexander “De grote” Bloemen returned to the ring last Thursday night with a vengeance, uitspelen van Mario “Chabelo” Heredia in the sixth round of the RJJ Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASS main event, outdoors Casino Del Sol’s AVA Amphitheater in Tucson, Arizona.
RJJ Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASS was streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS,'s werelds toonaangevende digitale abonnementsdienst voor vechtsporten.
De 29-jarige Flores (18-2-1, 16 KO) hadn’t fought since last December in New Zealand, when he lost a controversial fight to former world champion Joseph Parker, waarin Parker Flores meerdere keren onder de riem sloeg, wat leidt tot een knock-out.
Knockout-artist Flores floored his Mexican opponent, Heredia, three times during their fight in the third, fifth and the finisher in the sixth. Bloemen, who is a former World Boxing Council (WBC) Wereldkampioen jeugd, used a vicious body attack, resulting in the last two knockdowns, against the 282-pound Heredia (16-8-1, 13 KO).
Bloemen’ only two losses have been to world champions Parker and Charles Martin. Heredia, a former WBC FECOMBOX champion, who only three fights ago won a split decision over former WBC heavyweight world champion and Nigerian Olympian Samuel Peter.
In de co-featured evenement, red-hot Mexican welterweight Santiago Dominguez (20-0, 16 KO) blasted Ravshan Hudayhazarov (17-3, 13 KO), the Uzbekistan fighter, stopping him only 43-seconds into the opening round in a devastating performance.
In his RJJ Boxing Promotions debut, undefeated California super middleweight Juan “Gewoon zaken” Barajas (11-0, 7 KO) pitched a complete shutout victory, winning each round on all three-judges’ scorecards, in a unanimous decision over Phoenix veteran Fidel Hernandez (20-8-1, 11 KO), who announced before the fight that this would be his last.
