Erik Ruiz celebrates his upset victory

The “Knockout Night at the D” usoro, presented by the D Las Vegas and Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, is promoted by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions. Hall Of Fame announcers Jim “J.R.” Ross na Al Bernstein called the action from ringside with Sean Wheelock on CBS Sports Network in North America and internationally via ESPN. Ruiz (16-5-1, 6 Kos) replaced Emmanuel Quartey, who was unable to secure a visa, and he was rewarded with a 10-round majority decision victory over fellow Mexican fighter Hanzel Martinez (23-3, 19 Kos) for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA) International super bantamweight title. “El Trumpo,” fighting out of Oxnard, California, put on a clinic, avoiding the lunging Martinez, who was frustrated throughout the fight by Ruiz’ slickness. Martiniz lunged, Ruiz countered and then he slightly moved to the side, avoiding any potential. Defensively, Ruiz was far superior, keeping Martinez off balance through out the majority of rounds. Ruiz (R) controlled most of the action in the main event
“M na-eche oké,” Ruiz exclaimed. “I took this last minute fight but I was ready for it. Hanzel is a tough fighter. He has guts. I didn’t think he’d to the full 10 agba. This is an opportunity that will open a lot of doors for me. He knew he was coming to fight and I as ready for him.” In a good technical fight with a lot of give-and-take action from start to finish, unbeatenStephon “Showstopper” Na-eto eto (15-0-3, 6 Kos) meriri Tony Lopez, Obere.

Young won a 10-round majority decision. (L) Young’s quickness was the difference
“Ọ bụ a ike agha,” Young commented. “My coach said, if you wan it, go get him. And I did. I knew what I was coming to get. People want to see me fight in this division.” In the television opener, NABA USA super welterweight champion John “The Phenom” Vera (15-0, 10 Kos) made another strong statement under the neon lights, stopping challenger Milorad “Micko” Zizic (12-2, 7 Kos) na abụọ gbaa gburugburu. Making his second title defense, Vera, a southpaw, served notice to all super welterweights, dropping Zizic twice and then staggering him again before referee Kenny Baylesscalled an end to the fight. Vera Vera decked Zizic twice
“I came out here to put on a show,” Vera said after the fight. “I dropped him (mbụ) with a left-right. The second knockdown I feinted and hit him with a hard right jab. I then turned right-handed because I knew my right was working. I knew I had him.” Las Vegas junior lightweight Randy Moreno cruised to his fifth win without a loss, unloading an unanswered barrage of punches on Fabian “El Suavecito” Alanez (1-1) until referee Jay Nady halted the fight in the second round. Moreno is a rising young star to watch
