“Crossroads: doubleheader results from N.H.: Kendrick Ball, Jr. hits home run vs. Bryan Vera
“Crossroads” results from New Hampshire
DERRY, N.H. (April 18, 2021) -Former New England middleweight championKendrick “Peppa” Ball, Jr. turned in a career-best performance in last night’s main event against dangerousBryan “The Warrior” Vera on the evening portion of the “Crossroads” day-night doubleheader, presented by Granite Chin Promotions, at New England Sports Center in Derry, New Hampshire.
The pre-fight plan was followed as Ball (16-1-2, 11 Kos) boxed and moved, while Vera (28-17, 18 Kos) applied pressure, right from the opening bell. Ball took control in the second round, when he stayed in the pocket, snapping off crisp combinations. Ball fired more effective combinations in the third round as Vera started chasing his opponent. Ball started moving around the ring and fighting from the outside in the fourth and stayed on his toes the remainder of the fight.
Ball won an 8-round unanimous decision (79-73, 79-73, 78-74) to become the World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (USA) Silver Super Middleweight Champion.
“This was my best fight, because of who I fought, and the magnitude of the fight,” Ball commented. “The plan was to box and move because he was much smaller and slower. At times I banged, when I knew he wasn’t hurting me, but I shouldn’t have taken the risks.”
The 39-year-old Vera isn’t the same fighter he was when he beat three different world champions –Andy Lee, Sergio Mora (två gånger) ochSerhiy Dzinziruk. The Texan needs to decide if it’s time to finally hang up his gloves.
“This was awesome, definitely our best show to date,” Granite Chin’sChris Traietti declared after the show. “We feel great about stepping up to give these fighters, especially the locals, a platform to perform on in front of fans. I think a lot of promoters have gotten lazy. They gave us a lane and Granite Chin took advantage. This was our fourth show with fans during the last year. Brian fought hard and he’s a great guy, but he’s not the same guy he was in 2011. He needs to think about what he’s going to do.
“Granite Chin returns here June 26th with another doubleheader. The afternoon show will be the Granite Chin Invitational for open elite boxers. With the New England Golden Gloves canceled again there is a void to fill. If promoters are going to help amateurs, I certainly will, starting June 26th."
ChallengerMarquis Bates (8-4, 6 Kos) dethroned defending New Hampshire Welterweight ChampionRyan Dibartolomeo (3-2-1, 1 KO) via a sixth-round stoppage in an entertaining co-feature. A devastating overhand right from Bates gave him his new crown as the referee didn’t even count as the ring doctor quickly entered the ring.
Larry “Hitman” Pryor took the contract out onScott Lambert and he wasted little time taking care of business to become the New Hampshire Cruiserweight Champion. Pryor took advantage of his decisive height and reach advantages, closing the show with a perfectly thrown left hook that sent Lambert to the canvas. Lambert managed to beat the count, but the referee stopped the fight midway through the opening round when he saw Lambert wobbling back and forth on rubbery legs.
Lanky lefthandedFrancis “The Tank” Hogan (5-0, 5 Kos) graduated last night with a brilliant performance againstLarry “Slo Mo” Smith, who was in his 60th career fight. Hogan put down Smith early in the third round and caught the Texan late in the same round with a lefty-combination to the temple. Smith beat the count, but he was unable to answer the bell for the fourth round, and 20-year-old Hogan became the new New Hampshire Junior Middleweight Champion.
Former New England heavyweight championJustin “Crazy Train” Rolfe (5-2-1, 4 Kos) positioned himself for another N.E. title shot with a spectacular knockout ofAlfredo “Choncho” Trevino (9-9-1, 1 KO). The 263-pound Rolfe, fighting out of Fairfield, Maine, charged across the ring at the bell and put his Arizona opponent to sleep right in his corner, when he was counted out at the 20-seconds mark.
The newest member of the fightin’ Whitley family from western Massachusetts, obesegrad welterviktDenzel Whitley, cruised to his fourth victory with his fourth knockout. He drilledAquilandro Brandao late in round one and the fight was stopped by the referee.
UndefeatedJahye Brown (9-0, 7 Kos) captured the vacant ABF Athletic junior middleweight title with a hard fought 8-round unanimous decision over a game Mexican opponent,Dormedes Potes (12-4-1, 9 Kos). The two fought toe-to-toe from the opening bell and Brown landed the more effective punches inside to earn the victory.
Promising middleweight prospectJulien “Black Dragon” Baptiste förbättrades till 2-0 with his second knockout, blasting outBruno Dias in the third round.
Fighting for the first time in more than eight years, Fall River, MA welterviktDustin Reinhold (6-4, 2 Kos) won a 4-round unanimous decision over pro-debutingAnthonyAndreozziin what can best be called a rough and tumble match.
Junior mellanviktCarlos Castillo’s professional debut was a gem as the Holyoke, MA fighter droppedTheo Desjardon två gånger, the last closing the show late in the first round.
“Cannon” Berry stops Ibarra in 5
UBO All-America Welterweight ChampionBrandon “The Cannon” Berry (21-5-2, 13 Kos) successfully defended in the afternoon card’s main event, overcoming a slow start in which he was buzzed to stop challengerGael Ibarra (5-3, 4 Kos) in the fifth round.
Berry finished the fight in the fifth, when he unloaded twin barrages of unanswered punches on a trapped Ibarra until the referee waved off the fight.
“I’m glad it wasn’t a 4-round fight,” Berry said after the fight. “He was a strong guy. I was feeling it. He tested me. I want to thank my family and friends here, and Granite Chin and everybody involved in the promotion.”
I co-featured händelse, New England heavyweight championMike “Fly” Marshall (4-1, 3 Kos), in a non-title fight, utslagenTracey Johnson (4-10-6) in the third round.
Popular Boston IrishmanJimmy Torney (3-0, 3 Kos) – 6’ 6”, 269 Ibs. – needed only 42-seconds and one big right to stop pro-debuting heavyweightMarco Nascimento.
Massachusetts welterweightEric “Gladiator” Goff convincingly won his pro debut againstJader Alves(0-5) as he pitched a 4-round shutout
Three-time New England Golden Gloves championDemek “Hightower” Edmonds had an awesome pro debut, dropping cruiserweightFrancisco Neto twice in round one, the second a vicious body shot ending the fight. Edmonds, a southpaw from Worcester, MA, is a college graduate and bonafide prospect to watch.
In a non-title fight, New England welterweight championMike “Bad Man” Ohan, Jr. (12-1, 6 Kos) schooled his 54-fight Las Vegas opponent, junior mellanviktRynell Griffin. Ohan decked Griffin three times in the first round, the third with a left hook to the body from which Griffin was unable to beat the count.
Canadian cruiserweightYan “Wild Thing” Pellerin (11-1, 5 Kos) landed two stinging rights to the body of 63-fight veteranSteve “The Spoiler” Walker, both flooring the Missouri fighter, the second resulting in an opening-round knockout for the vacant ABF Atlantic title.

“Rumble”had this to say about his upcoming BELLATOR debut on SHOWTIME: “You know how I fight. I come out there and throw bombs. If you get in the way and get hit, that’s just what happens. Romero is a hell of an athlete. We all have watched him fight. For his age, which to me doesn’t play a factor at all, he’s a beast. I’m very excited to fight a man of his caliber. He’s a true challenge to anybody that he faces. I look forward to testing myself against him. He’s definitely an opponent that I respect. Somebody that I know I’ll enjoy fighting and the fans will enjoy it too.
“Right now, I can’t look past Yoel. I really can’t. I don’t look that far ahead. I have goals, but right now I got one of the toughest individuals you can possibly face in my face May 7. I’m looking forward to it and I just need to focus on Yoel. I’m just going to let the dice roll the way they’re going to roll and whoever makes it to the next round, I’ll focus on that later. Just nu, I just need to focus on one individual and everybody else is not even on my radar right now. I just got to focus on the man that’s trying to knock my head off.”

c-Vadim Nemkov (13-2) besegrade #2-Phil Davis (22-5, 1 NC) via enhälligt beslut (48-47, 48-47, 48-47)
Vadim Nemkov: “My plan was to out-strike him today and defend the wrestling. I’m pretty happy with my performance but I had some mistakes and I’m going to work on them for next time.
“It’s very hard to knock out Phil Davis so I was getting ready for a five round fight and I knew it was going to go the distance. Our conditioning was on point.
“Both fighters [Johnson and Romero] are very unpredictable. They can strike or wrestle. I’m a champion and I’m ready for whoever wins that fight. It doesn’t matter to me who I face. Both fighters are really good on the ground or standup and it’s going to be a good fight for me either way.”

I’m just going to show the rest of the world that. Me and Bader, we have history from training together and like I said, one person knows. He knows. We’re just going to find out in July when we match up. One man has to go out there and make the statement on TV.
“He knows who he’s matched up against. That’s all. I ain’t one of those dudes who’s going to put the film out there on Instagram because that ain’t a good sport. Men samtidigt, he knows. We know. They know it’s going to be a tough match. He’s gotten better. I’ve gotten better. He knows it’s going to be a war. It’s not like he’s going to go in there and take me down like he does with all these other guys. Because he knows. He knows he ain’t gonna go out there and out-strike me.”

I wasn’t overlooking Desiree at all and I’ve just been watching all the females that fight in this division to see who I may be potentially fighting.

Co-main-eventet den kvällen kommer att innehålla en höginsats WBC junior-mellanvikts-VM-eliminator mellan Erickson Lubin och den tidigare enade världsmästaren på 154 pund Jeison Rosario.
Sedan, på lördag, Juli 17, en månad efter sin brors slagsmål, Jermell Charlo ser ut att göra boxningshistoria när han försvarar sitt WBC, WBA och IBF juniorer i mellanvikts-VM mot den obesegrade WBO-världsmästaren Brian Castaño i en av årets mest efterlängtade och viktiga matcher. Charlo siktar på att uppnå något som aldrig har gjorts i boxningshistorien genom att bli den första fighter som är obestridd mästare på 154 pund i fyrbälteseran. Charlo har haft WBC-titeln sedan dess 2019 och lade till WBA- och IBF-titlarna med en fantastisk knockoutseger över Jeison Rosario i sin sista kamp i september.
Även i juli, den obesegrade stigande stjärnan Chris Colbert från Brooklyn, N.Y.. kommer att försvara sin interimstitel i superfjädervikt i WBA mot tredivisionsvärldsmästaren Yuriorkis Gamboa i en korsvägsmatch på lördag, Juli 3. Den 24-årige Colbert kommer efter en bästa seger i karriären, en knockoutseger över Jaime Arboleda i december 2020. Den kubanskfödde Gamboa försöker återhämta sig genom att gå tillbaka till superfjädervikt där han har utmärkt sig under hela sin karriär.
Augusti kommer att innehålla ytterligare ett par SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING-evenemang. På lördag, Augusti 14, två av de bästa bantamviktarna i världen kommer att mötas när den tidigare enade världsmästaren Guillermo Rigondeaux möter John Riel Casimero för Casimeros WBO bantamviktsvärldstitel.
Två veckor senare, på lördag, Augusti 28, Den obesegrade tvåfaldige före detta supermellanviktsvärldsmästaren David Benavidez kommer att möta den förre supermellanmästaren Jose Uzcategui i en kamp som kommer att sätta vinnaren ett steg närmare en möjlighet till världsmästerskap. Benavidez, 24, gjorde boxningshistoria när han blev den yngste världsmästaren i supermellanvikt i åldern 20 med en seger över Ronald Gavril in 2017.
På lördag, September 11, den glödheta 122-pundsdivisionen kommer återigen inta scenen på SHOWTIME som WBO:s junior fjäderviktsvärldsmästare Stephen Fulton, Jr. kommer att göra det första försvaret av sin titel mot vinnaren i maj 15 sammandrabbning mellan obesegrade mästarna Nery och Figueroa. Enhetskampen kommer att vara huvudevenemanget i SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.
