Warrior’s Boxing’s revived “Windy City Fight Night” continued its growth ಶನಿವಾರ night in Chicago, as the largest crowd yet watched a seven-bout card at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago.

In the thrilling main event, Chicago junior middleweight Achour Esho (13-0, 8 ಕಾಸ್) had to survive a nearly disastrous first round to stop crosstown rival Anthony Abbruzzese (4-6, 3 ಕಾಸ್) in three.

Abbruzzese came out blazing in the first, culminating in a sustained barrage of punches that could have easily led to a stoppage. To Esho’s credit, he survived and walked wearily to his stool.

The fight changed, ಆದರೆ, ಸುತ್ತಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಎರಡು, as a miraculously revived Esho bit down on his mouthpiece and started throwing hard shots. One of them dropped a surprised Abbruzzese, who arose on shaky legs, only to be dropped again before round’s end.

Smelling blood, Esho pounced on Abbruzzese in round three, dropping him again with a left hook and for the final time with a right uppercut. The time was :58.

Esho, now the newly formed ABO Junior Middleweight Champion, took the opportunity of his post-fight interview to call out MMA star Connor McGregor.

Two more Warriors Boxing prospects were in action that night, as undefeated Josh Hernandez (5-0, 4 ಕಾಸ್) of Chicago figured out the puzzle that is Thomas Smith (3-3-1, 2 ಕಾಸ್) of Dallas over six calculating featherweight rounds. Finding it difficult to trap the elusive Smith, Hernandez still did enough to win a clear unanimous decision by scores of 60-54 ಎರಡು ಬಾರಿ ಮತ್ತು 59-55.

And in another scorching slugfest, Chicago lightweight Jessica McCaskill (3-1, 2 ಕಾಸ್) pounded out an exciting unanimous decision over battle-hardened Puerto Rican Carla Torres (5-4), now fighting out of Cleveland. McCaskill’s advantages in size, strength and power eventually took over the back-and-forth battle. ಕೊನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ, the scores were 39-37 by all three judges.

In a very impressive “Windy City Fight Night” ಚೊಚ್ಚಲ, Chicago bantamweight Shawn Simpson remained undefeated by clearly outclassing Mexico’s Leonardo Reyes (5-12, 2 ಕಾಸ್) over four rounds. ಅಂಕಗಳು 40-36 ಎರಡು ಬಾರಿ ಮತ್ತು 40-35. ಈ ಹಂತದಲ್ಲಿ, Simpson appears to be one to keep an eye on.
