The co-main event saw rising star קריס “הויפּט צייט” Colbert (14-0, 5 קאָס) drop former champion Jezreel Corrales (23-4, 9 קאָס) on his way to a unanimous decision victory that earned him the Interim WBA Super Featherweight Title . “ער איז אַ גרויס Fighter,” said Colbert . “People don’t realize that , because he had a bad decision against Ladarius Miller . But he’s a great fighter . He’s very awkward . He’s slick and fast . It was hard to catch him because he was running , but he came to fight . I take my hat off to him. ” The action began tactically , with Colbert trying to figure out the awkward style of the veteran former champion Corrales . Colbert switched from orthodox to southpaw and was able to control the early action despite a slow pace . “I did my job in there ,” said Corrales . “My strategy was to hit and not get hit . I felt like I made him struggle for a lot of the fight . The knockdown wasn’t from being hurt , it was my balance . Our feet got tangled and I lost my balance . I came in here to win . We both did our jobs , but the judges scored his pushing more than his punching. ” Colbert continued to vary up his attack as the fight went on , while Corrales was able to have some success in the middle rounds landing straight lefts to counter his attacking opponent . In round 10 Colbert began to pull away , landing a clean left hook followed by a right hook to the top of the head that put Corrales on a knee . “I had confidence coming into the fight ,” said Colbert . “I knew I was going to dominate the fight and I told you all that before the fight happened . He was running and I was trying to catch him , so I told my corner , let’s have a dog fight . We got 12 ראָונדס. I’m in shape . איר זען, I didn’t sit down one round . I’m in shape and I came to fight . I wasn’t going to leave without this title . The 23-year-old from Brooklyn seemed to get stronger as the fight went on and finished the championship rounds impressively , staggering Corrales in the waning moments of the fight to punctuate the performance . Colbert was the victor on all three judges ’ קאַרדס, דורך סקאָרז פון 117-110 צוויי מאָל און 116-111. “The strategy was to use my jab like I did and try to set up my punches ,” said Colbert . “But he’s very awkward and has good distance . Slowly but surely I decided to stop boxing , close the distance and get on him . I knew he couldn’t out throw me , I’m from Brooklyn. ” Watch highlights of Colbert vs . קאָרראַלעס דאָ און דאָ .

Fighting from the southpaw stance , Spring looked to land big overhand lefts but was rarely able to catch up to the speedy 19-year-old Spencer . Spencer dominated the action with his speed and by landing big hooks throughout the action . “I was in there with a cagey , long southpaw ,” said Spencer . “צו זיין ערלעך, when a guy is fighting as cagey as he was , it’s really hard for a guy with my style to just pull something out of nothing . He was a real defensive guy. ” Spencer was especially effective sneaking a powerful left hook around Spring’s guard . Spring tried to press the action in the later rounds and force a firefight but Spencer remained patient and picked his spots . Late in round six , a left hook from Spencer sent Spring flying into the ropes , before he was saved from the follow up onslaught by the bell . “At the end I really just pressed him , said I’m going to finish strong , and hit him with some good shots ,” said Spencer . “If I had done that in the first or second round , I would have ended it early . I’m glad to get the six rounds in . Experience is everything . You’re only as good as your next fight . I’m happy to get in there and get some good experience and I did my thing and got the shutout. ” “I was waiting too much ,” said Spring . “I thought he would come in and engage more and I was looking counter him but he stayed on the outside . I was more impressed by his speed then his power . He’s a talented fighter but I could have been more effective. ” After six rounds , all three judges saw the fight for Spencer , by the score of 60-54 דרייַ מאָל. PBC’s 2019 ויסקוק פון די יאר, Spencer will look for another big year in 2020. “I’m going to stay busy this year ,” said Spencer . “I’m going to have a four-fight year . This is one of four .
