World-Rated Russian Light Heavyweight Ali Izmailov Returns Saturday for Showdown Against Detroit’s James Ballard in Dearborn, MY

Questo Sabato, Ottobre 16, IBF #11, WBC #14 and WBO #15 light heavyweight Ali Izmailov (5-0, 3 KO) returns to action against capable hometown veteran James Ballard (10-3, 3 KO) in the eight-round main event of promoters Kenny D Moore and Vi Tran’s of Second 2 None Promotions’ “Best of Tomorrow 12” event at the Performance Arts Center in Dearborn, Michigan.


The 28-year-old Izmailov, from Malgobek, Russia, is a former amateur standout who won multiple elite international tournaments. Already world-rated as a professional at just 5-0, 3 KO, Izmailov recently started working with world-famous Florida-based trainer John David Jackson at his Action Jackson Boxing Academy in Fort Lauderdale.


Jackson, who has spent the last three weeks sizing up his new protegee, says Izmailov is a diamond in the rough waiting for polish.


“The sky is the limit for him with his punching power,” said Jackson of Izmailov. “He’s a tremendous puncher, but he’s also got natural boxing skills. Come un combattente, I don’t think he realizes his potential. I’m getting him to move his head more and throw more combinations, instead of one power punch at a time. Nothing against his old trainers, but once he learns to throw three or four shots to set them up and camouflage the hard ones, he will be unstoppable.”


Jackson says the 32-year-old Ballard will be a good test for Izmailov and his newfound skills, but shouldn’t be able to derail any of their plans.


“Ballard is good, but Ali just has to pressure him and go to the body to break him down. Once his opponents feel his power, they all have a change of heart. Once Ali hits him with some good shots, it’ll be a matter of time.”


“Ali has amazing potential to be a star and John David is the perfect trainer to bring that out of him,” said Izmailov’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “I think you’ll see the improvements immediately under his expert tutelage. Ali was already the best prospect in the light heavyweight division.”


Tickets for “Best of Tomorrow 12” are priced at $25 - $1,000 and can be purchased online through Eventbrite.com. Nella notte di lotta, the action starts at 7:00 pm. The Ford Community & Performing Arts Center is located at 15801 Michigan Avenue in Dearborn, MY. The event is sponsored by One Punch Knockout Gym, Topbreed Management, Pharaoh Website Hosting & Restaurant Online Ordering Service, MJ Diamonds, Family Tied Entertainment.

19-Year-Old Phenom Gabriela Fundora Returns October 23 in Mexico Against Alejandra Soto

Di Sabato, Ottobre 23, 19-year-old flyweight prospect Gabriela “Sweet Poison” Fundora (4-0, 2 KO) will return for a six-round flyweight battle on LC Promotions’ “Round x Round” event at the Salón de Usos Múltiples 3 Coronas in Los Reyes, Estado de México, against tough veteran Alejandra “Tintanita” Soto (7-6-1, 3 KO).

The event will be streamed live on Facebook.

Fighting for the fifth fight already this year, the skillful 5′ 9″ southpaw from Coachella, California, says winning her last two by KO was not a coincidence.

“I’ve turned my power up a notch,” admits Fundora during a break in training. “It happened so naturally. My first two pro fights, it was like dipping my toe in the shallow end. As soon as I had my third fight, I got used to the rhythm and since then it’s been time to sit down on my punches and show them what we’ve really got.”

While Fundora says she doesn’t often study specific opponents, she’s looking forward to getting back in the ring against Soto.

“I don’t know much about her, but we train hard to prepare for any style. We you know what you bring to the ring, you don’t worry about who you’re facing. The more I fight, the more chances I get to go over what I’m doing wrong during fights and fix it for the next one. I’m improving very quickly fighting every month and I’m in top shape.”

From a fighting family that also includes top super welterweight contender Sebastian “Towering Inferno” Fundora, the former amateur standout Gabriela says she’s seeing big improvements working, as she always has, with her father/trainer, Freddy, at his growing gym in Coachella.

“We’ve been training like this since I was small. It’s nothing new. We wake up at 6 am and run about six miles. Poi, around 5 pm, we do strength and conditioning and then we get into the boxing. My speed and power are improving,” she said happily. “I recorded myself doing mitt work I didn’t realize how fast and hard I was punching until I watched the video.”

Set to have her third consecutive fight in Mexico, Fundora says she’s been very happy with the reception from Mexican fans.

“The fans in Mexico have all been very kind,” said Fundora. “They treat me like one of their own. We decided to take some fights in Mexico so I would have the experience of going outside my comfort zone to fight and the people here are amazing. It’s been an amazing experience.”

Surprisingly Fundora says the plan is to fight up to two more times this year.

“We fight every month, so by the end of the year I hope to have six fights,” Fundora asserted. “I hope to be fighting for a regional belt by next year. It’s all going to be happening soon.”

“Gabriela Fundora, the Sweet Poison, will be a world champion very soon,”Ha detto il suo promotore, Sampson Lewkowicz. “She has settled into the professional style and now she is knocking everyone out. I’m looking forward to a very exciting year next year for Gabriela.”

A win by Seldin brings him closer to a world title shot but Silva has other plans.

“This is a great opportunity and I’m going to make the most of,” Silva said from his training camp in St. Petersburg, FL. “Seldin is a good opponent but I have the necessary skills to have my hands raised on October 16. I also know a win in this fight would prove that I am among the best fighters in my division and move me closer to my goal of winning a world title.”

Silva’s manager, Jody Caliguire of Fire Fist Management, is excited and believes his fighter will emerge victorious.

“Willian was actually scheduled to fight in October 16 in Florida before this fight came together. It’s almost as if this was meant to happen and I know Silva has what it takes to pull this out. He’s training with Hall of Fame coach Jim McLaughlin, who’s brought out the best in him. Seldin is in for a big surprise!"

The bout airs live on Triller and precedes the Verzuz battle between hip hop legends Big Daddy Kane and KRS-One. Both fighters are promoted by Star Boxing.

NEW OPPONENT FOR INAUGURAL WBC BRIDGERWEIGHT WORLD TITLE FIGHT “THE CONQUEST: OSCAR RIVAS VS. RYAN ROZICKI

new letterhead.jpg
NEW OPPONENT FOR
INAUGURAL WBC BRIDGERWEIGHT WORLD TITLE FIGHT

“THE CONQUEST: OSCAR RIVAS VS. RYAN ROZICKI”

AT THE MONTREAL OLYMPIA ON OCTOBER 22ND

MONTREAL (Ottobre 6, 2021)The inaugural World Boxing Council (WBC) Bridgerweight World Championship fight (sotto 224 lbs.) will take place on October 22nd, promoted by Groupe Yvon Groupe (PALESTRA) in collaboration with Three Lions Promotions, and a presentation of Mise-O-Jeu, at the Montreal Olympia.

As recently announced by the WBC, Non. 1 contender Oscar “Kaboom” Rivas (27-1, 19 KO) will face Ryan “The Bruiser” Rozicki (13-0, 13 KO) to headline “The Conquest” in the 12-round main event for the vacant WBC title.

Rozicki is a powerful, undefeated puncher who has won each of his thirteen professional fights by knockout. His record includes his win over Shawn Miller (18-4-1, 7 KO) a maggio 2019 for the WBC International Silver crown, as well as the defense of the same title in February 2020 against Vladimir Reznicek (9-2-2, 4 KO).

By his uncompromising style, “Bruiserbecame very popular especially in English-speaking Canada. “Rivas will be my toughest opponent yet,” Rozicki explained. “It’s everything I’ve dreamed of since I started boxing. Thanks to Yvon Michel and my promotional team for making this possible. On October 22nd, I will become world champion.”

In front of him stands an opponent who has been waiting for his chance for a long time, top contender Rivas, who easily disposed of Sylvera Louis (8-5, 4 KO) by retirement after three rounds last March. Rivas, naturalmente, was the victim of a very controversial defeat in July 2019 in England to Dillian Whyte (25-1), by way of a 12-round decision despite having sent him to the mat in the ninth round.

Oscar Rivas is in the best shape of his career,” according to his trainer, Marc Ramsay. “I know Rozicki very well and he is very dangerous. He reminds me of a big Joe Smith, Jr., who without being the best technician, compensates with enthusiasm, aggressiveness and determination in the ring

This fight turns out to be more than a major one for the careers of the two pugilists. The winner will be crowned king of this new division. The historic showdown marks the return of American television to Canada for the first time since December 2018 as it will be broadcast live on ESPN + negli Stati Uniti. In totale, this prestigious gala will also be broadcast live in nearly fifty countries. In Quebec, the event will be available on pay-per-view television on Canal Indigo, Campana TV, Shaw TV and Fite.tv.

Nel caso in cui co-optional, charismatic Sébastien Bouchard (19-2-0, 8 KO) will be in his second fight of 2021, after suffering a major injury against Ayaz Hussain in 2019. He will face Mexican welterweight SergioChecoOrtega (24-2-0, 18 KO), della Baja California, Messico, in an explosive 8-round duel.

With his third knockout victory this past August 28th in as many career fights, Alexis Barrière (3-0, 3 KO) will return to the Olympia ring. Questa volta, the heavyweight will face Rafael “Rafaga” Sanchez Rojas (5-1, 3 KO), del Messico, in a 4-round clash.

As expected, the 6-round rematch between Alexandre Roberge (1-1-0) and Francis Charbonneau (3-1-0, 1 KO.) remains on this card. The two cruiserweights caused quite a stir on March 16th in their 6-round confrontation, which Charbonneau won by way of split decision.

Canadian light heavyweight prospect Terry Osias (9-0, 4 KO) was supposed to have a fabulous 2020 with a series of fights planned at the Casino de Montreal. The pandemic decided otherwise, anche se. Osias finally finds his way into the ring again on Oct. 22nd against his Mexican opponent, Joaquin Murrieta (9-9-3, 7 KO), who has won his last two fights by knockout.

Middleweight Kevin Menoche (4-0, 4 KO) will put his undefeated pro record on the line versus Thad Ridsdill (2-2, 1 KO).

Così, a colorful evening awaits boxing fans Oct. 22nd at the Olympia in Montreal. Infatti, GYM will be promoting its 49th world championship fight in Canada since its founding in 2004.

LOS ANGELES (Settembre 21, 2021) – Il consenso della boxe No. 1 libbra-per-pound caccia, Superstar messicana e campione del mondo unificato WBA/WBC/WBO dei pesi super medi Canelo Alvarez e imbattuto campione del mondo IBF Super medi Pianta "Dolci" di Caleb si sono incontrati per uno sguardo intenso che si è trasformato in una rissa martedì in una conferenza stampa che ha presentato in anteprima la loro storica e attesissima resa dei conti indiscussa del campionato dei super medi.

Durante un lungo confronto che ha dato il via all'evento, i combattenti si scambiarono parole e lanciarono colpi di occhiata prima che le rispettive squadre si precipitassero sul palco per separare i combattenti, intensificando una rivalità che culminerà nella notte dei combattimenti tra poco più di sei settimane.

Canelo e Plant si daranno battaglia sabato, Novembre 6, live su SHOWTIME PPV all'MGM Grand Garden Arena di Las Vegas in un evento Premier Boxing Champions, con il vincitore che imprime il suo nome nei libri di storia come il primo indiscusso campione del mondo di 168 libbre dell'era delle quattro cinture.

I biglietti per l'evento dal vivo sono già in vendita e possono essere acquistati su AXS.com. L'evento è promosso da Canelo Promotions e TGB Promotions e sponsorizzato da Hennessy e Value.

Eddy reynoso, Allenatore e manager di Canelo, e Justin Gambera, Allenatore di piante, si sono uniti ai loro combattenti sul palco dell'evento a Beverly Hills. Ecco cosa hanno detto martedì i partecipanti alla conferenza stampa:

CANELO LVAREZ

“Non sei al mio livello e vedrai a novembre 6. Non vuoi litigare adesso, Te lo prometto.

“Veniamo dal nulla e abbiamo lavorato duramente per essere qui. Per qualcuno che menti e parli male di noi, che ha sconvolto Eddy. È quello che è però. Non ci resta che mostrare a tutti chi siamo a novembre 6.

“Caleb potrebbe essere allo stesso livello di Billy Joe Saunders e Callum Smith, ma lui non è al mio livello. Rispetto il fatto che non sia qui per fare marcia indietro. Puoi vedere da oggi che questa sarà sicuramente una bella battaglia.

“So cosa devo fare e so molto di lui. È un buon combattente ma conosco le mie capacità. La mia esperienza mi darà il vantaggio nella lotta. Ho affrontato stili simili a quelli di Caleb contro Floyd Mayweather, Erislandy Lara, Austin Trout e Saunders.

"È una persona insicura ed è per questo che è venuto con molte scuse su molte cose. Non mi interessa però. Farò del mio meglio a novembre 6 e vinci la battaglia.

"Essere indiscussi è storia per il Messico e per tutti i membri della mia squadra. Essere il campione indiscusso è solo una grande cosa per la mia carriera.

Nella rissa sul palco: “Puoi dirmi qualunque cosa, ma non a mia madre. Combatterò chiunque dica qualcosa su mia madre. E ha oscillato per primo. L'ho appena spinto. Ha oscillato per primo, e faccio quello che faccio. Ha tagliato il traguardo.

“Sarà finito in otto round o meno. Sto per mettere fuori combattimento questo ragazzo. Facile."

CALEB IMPIANTO

"So solo una cosa meglio che dare ragione alle persone, e questo sta dimostrando che le persone si sbagliano. L'ho fatto per tutta la vita. Non appena sono salito sul palco, le persone hanno iniziato a parlare di cosa non posso realizzare e cosa non posso fare. Da dove vengo io, non esiste una comunità di boxe. Non c'era nessun altro professionista a cui potevo guardare e dire che se poteva farlo, allora posso farlo. Tutto quello che avevo era la mia mente e il mio cuore.

"Non lo faccio per essere famoso o per attirare l'attenzione. Quando ho iniziato, eravamo solo io e mio padre. Nessuno pensava che sarei stato qui oggi. Ricordo che lui e mio nonno raccolsero un po' di soldi per aprire una piccola palestra di boxe. C'era solo una borsa pesante appesa nell'angolo. Ma quando vuoi davvero qualcosa, non hai bisogno di tutte le cose fantasiose. Hai solo bisogno della tua mente e del tuo cuore.

"So che le persone non mi credono quando dico loro che sto vincendo a novembre 6. Tutte quelle persone che mi dicono che non posso fare qualcosa, vivi vite credibili e fai cose credibili. Ho promesso a me stesso che avrei corso fino in cima, senza problemi a schiantarsi e bruciarsi lungo la strada. Ho deciso di vivere una vita incredibile e realizzare cose incredibili. Quelle persone che dubitano di me sono la vera ragione per cui sono qui.

“Il fratello di Miguel Cotto può farti fare la danza del pollo ma io no? Bene. segna le mie parole, novembre 6 sentirai le parole, 'E il nuovo campione indiscusso dei supermedi,’ ma sentirai anche le parole, 'e ancora imbattuto.'

“Essere indiscussi significherebbe molto. Ho sacrificato così tanto a questo sport e lo faccio da molto tempo. Tutto quel lavoro si ridurrebbe a un momento. Voglio il mio nome in quei libri di storia e questo è l'unico motivo per cui sono qui.

Nella rissa sul palco: "Abbiamo appena avuto qualche normale scambio di battute lassù e poi qualunque cosa sia successa, è accaduto. Non è un mio problema però. Sono concentrato e bloccato il 6 novembre".

EDDY REYNOSO, Allenatore e Manager di Canelo

"Penso che questa sarà una grande battaglia, uno in cui unifichiamo la divisione di 168 libbre. Come facciamo con ogni combattimento, lavoreremo sodo in palestra. Abbiamo sempre lavorato sodo in palestra.

“Sono un po' turbato da come sono andate le cose oggi, ma alla fine sistemeremo le cose sul ring a novembre 6.

“Il linguaggio offensivo è quello che ci ha offeso di più. Siamo persone rispettose, e da questo andiamo avanti a testa alta. Adesso ci alleneremo bene, vinci la battaglia e guarda cosa verrà dopo.


“Ci sono molte persone che dicono cose sui social media ma poi non si fanno vedere. Alcune persone vogliono abbattere un intero paese e un grande atleta che rappresenta il suo paese. Parlano un sacco di spazzatura. Devi lavorare sodo però. Devi avere il coraggio di lavorare sodo come noi".

JUSTIN GAMBER, Allenatore di Plant

“Voglio ringraziare tutta la nostra squadra per aver creduto in noi e averci procurato questa lotta che volevamo e questa opportunità di fare la storia. Sono state lacrime e sudore di sangue, letteralmente, per arrivare qui. È stato un lungo viaggio. Questa lotta non riguarda i soldi, si tratta di eredità.

"In 1996, quando avevo 15 anni, il mio combattente preferito era il campione del mondo IBF dei pesi medi Roy Jones Jr. All'epoca tutti i fan desideravano un campione indiscusso a 168 libbre e ora alleno il campione IBF e lotteremo per tutti i marmi.

“Sintonizzati a novembre 6 e vedrai il primo campione indiscusso del mondo dei pesi supermedi ed è del Tennessee. Tutto quello che è successo oggi in questa conferenza stampa ci farà impazzire e ci farà venire più fame.

TOM BROWN, Presidente di Promotions TGB

"Ci sono voluti un paio di tentativi, ma eccoci qui oggi con l'indiscusso campionato supermedi di novembre 6. È un vero piacere lavorare con i nostri partner di rete a SHOWTIME per questo evento. SHOWTIME ha una lunga storia di coinvolgimento nei più grandi e importanti eventi sportivi e che continua con questa lotta.

“È un onore lavorare con il re della sterlina Canelo Álvarez, Eddy Reynoso e tutti con le Promozioni Canelo. Sono anche entusiasta di tornare a lavorare con tutti i membri del team Plant. Ho promosso il debutto pro di Caleb in 2014 ed è fantastico vederlo qui oggi in questa posizione.

“Canelo detiene tre titoli, mentre Caleb possiede il quarto titolo nella divisione 168 libbre. Combatteranno per diventare il primo campione indiscusso nell'era delle quattro cinture. La storia si farà a novembre 6 all'MGM Grand Garden Arena di Las Vegas”.

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Presidente, SHOWTIME Sports

“Il 2021 è stato un anno fenomenale per SHOWTIME Boxing. È uno dei nostri anni più prolifici nella memoria recente. SHOWTIME ha consegnato 17 eventi di boxe dal vivo finora quest'anno, con molti altri in arrivo. Otto combattimenti per il campionato del mondo, più unificazioni per il titolo mondiale e ora due lotte per il titolo indiscusso come un ottimo anno per SHOWTIME diventa un grande anno per SHOWTIME. SHOWTIME è la casa dei grandi combattimenti. È la rete più affidabile e più longeva nel pugilato.

“Murrysville Madness” results from Pennsylvania

MURRYSVILLE, Penn. (Settembre 21, 2021) – Pittsburgh junior lightweight Matt “Sweet Child” Conway, the reigning IBA Intercontinental Junior Lightweight Champion, notched his 20th career victory in this past Saturday night’s “Murrysville Madness” non-title main event against dangerous Colombian puncher Rodolfo “El Tsunami” Puente (20-8-2, 16 KO).

“Murrysville Madness,” presentato da Gionta Management, was held at a nearly sold-out SportsZone Arena in Murrayville (PA).

This was our first time promoting at this venue and things went really well overall,” promoter Derek Gionta said. “We will come back here, fiduciosamente, nel futuro prossimo. This was our third show this year at two different venues and it’s great to remain consistent despite the difficult times we encountered earlier this year in regard to the pandemic. The plan is to keep moving forward and building up these guys.”

“There were a number of intriguing fights. Matt Conway had a monumental victory for his 20th win as a professional. He will be come back January 15th in a big fight on our show in Cheswick, PA.”

Conway (20-2, 9 KO) positioned himself for an IBA World title fight in January, which Gionta will promote at The Pittsburgh Shrine Center in Cheswick, PA.

Against Puente, Conway overcame Puente’s early aggression, but after the opening round, the Colombian did little more than hold. A Conway left hook dropped Puente in the second round and that marked the end of the fight and show shortly after from a referee stoppage.

The co-feature was the “Fight of the Night.” Pittsburgh super middleweight Kiante Irving (9-0-1, 9 KO), un 2018 Nazionale di Golden Gloves Champion, and Antonio Louis Hernandez (5-11-3, 3 KO), battled to an exciting 6-round split draw.

Irving won the first three rounds, primarily by using his stiff jab and landing solid rights to Hernandez’ body. Hernandez, tuttavia, owned the last three rounds, controlling the action and landing power shots that hurt Irving on multiple occasions. High drama filed the room as Irving proved a chin and heart to go along with his power. Hernandez, sporting a deceiving record and at just 22 anni, has time to turn the corner and make up for early struggles against high quality opposition. Both sides have expressed interest in a rematch.

Ohio lightweight Ryizeemmion “The Humble Beast” Ford (6-1, 4 KO) dominated Carlos “Jaguar” Jimenez (1-3-1), del Messico, setting the pace until he landed a hard right that buzzed Jimenez. A follow-up attack prompted the referee to halt the action midway through the opening round.

Pittsburgh super middleweight Eric Lomax kept rollin’, setting the pace and blasting out Jacob Ikaika Martin (1-1) with only 9-seconds left in the fourth and scheduled final round. Lomax passed the test in impressive fashion as he boxed well and fought with explosiveness in spurts.

Kyrgyzstan native Baszybek Baratov (5-1-2, 1 KO), who fights out of Monroeville (PA), defeated Buffalo featherweight debutant Joe Reed, winning a unanimous decision. I punteggi sono stati 40-36 x 2 e 39-37. “Baz” was slippery on the defense, while picking shots from all angles while Reed stood conventional and had some success of his own at times.

Pittsburgh super lightweight and Matt Conway’s brother, “Maverick” Mike Conway (4-2-1, 1 KO), joined his bro in the winner’s circle, pitching a “shutout” 4-round decision versus Joshua Zimmerman (0-4). Conway worked his way inside to nullify Zimmerman’s height and length advantage and used a double hook several times.

In the first match of the evening, southpaw Paul Palombo won his pro debut when his opponent, middleweight Jabrandon Harris (0-7) of Texas was unable to continue after two rounds. Palombo boxed well out of his southpaw stance and turned it up after a quiet opening round and picked his shots nicely on the inside.

BAKERSFIELD, COME. (Settembre 18, 2021) – Unbeaten rising lightweight prospect José Valenzuela (10–0, 6 KO) sconfitto Deiner Berrio (22–4–1, 13 KO) con decisione unanime (100-90, 99-91, 98-92) in the 10-round main event of FS1 PBC Fight Night action, and on FOX Deportes, Saturday from Mechanics Bank Arena in Bakersfield, California.

Valenzuela totally dominated the first three stanzas, landing nearly four times the punches that Berrio landed.

In the fourth and fifth rounds, Berrio found a bit of a rhythm with his unorthodox style and landed a few clean shots on Valenzuela.

Tuttavia, Valenzuela made some adjustments, continued to severely outwork Berrio and dominated much of the second half of the bout.

Even when Berrio landed a right hand to Valenzuela’s jaw in the eighth round and followed it up with a left hand that briefly stunned Valenzuela and pushed him back, Berrio took his foot off the gas, allowing Valenzuela to regain himself and win the eighth round on two of the judges’ scorecards.

The tenth and final round was an all-out slugfest with both fighters landing their share of blows, but Valenzuela survived the best of what Berrio had to offer and cruised to a wide decision victory.

The co-main event on FS1 featured Rajon Chance (5–0–1, 5 KO) combattendo Elon De Jesus (3–0–1, 2 KO) to a majority draw (57-55 for Chance, 56-56, 56-56) in a six-round super bantamweight attraction.

De Jesus seemingly jumped out to an early lead, landing several powerful overhand rights in the third round that resulted in a cut opening up on Chance’s forehead.

Nel quarto turno, Chance and De Jesus got twisted up with Chance bending down to stabilize himself. As Chance leaned forward, De Jesus landed a blow to the back of Chance’s head. Referee Jerry Cantu immediately deducted a point from De Jesus for the infraction.

Midway through the fifth stanza, De Jesus scored a sensational knockdown with a massive right uppercut to Chance’s jaw. Chance picked himself up off the canvas and complained to Cantu that he couldn’t see anything. Cantu called for a timeout to have the ringside physician examine De Jesus’ eyes and the physician approved the fight to continue.

Although De Jesus dominated the action throughout and scored the only knockdown in the contest, the point deduction resulted in a majority draw with both Chance and De Jesus maintaining their undefeated records.

The FS1 opener showcased Amed Medina (4–0, 3 KO) sconfiggendo Abdur Abdullah (4–5, 0 KO) con decisione unanime (40-35, 40-35, 40-35) in a four-round super featherweight showdown.

Medina, who had never fought beyond the first round in his young career, knocked down Abdullah with a short, right uppercut in the opening frame.

Over the following three rounds, Medina controlled the action, landing nearly three times the punches that Abdullah landed, en route to a lopsided decision.

The event was promoted by TGB Promotions.
