Vera vs. Pendarvis suddenly and surprisingly ended midway through the opening round, when Pendarvis (21-8-2, 9 Kos), a former USBA champion, stopped throwing punches and went to his knees. He was counted out with what is believed to be a hand injury.
“Well,” Vera (20-1, 12 Kos) said after the fight, “the way my fight ended was anticlimactic. I was feeling really good and calm in there. I was just finding my range, establishing my jab and calculating. He threw a jab to the body and I blocked it with my elbow. I felt his knuckle hit my elbow. Sucked ut ended that way, pero o que podes facer?"
Vera has now won his last two fight since suffering his only loss as a professional back in 2018, when he traveled to France as a world rated fighter to take onMichel Soro(31-2-1) for the WBA Interim junior middleweight title, in which Vera lost a 12-round unanimous decision.
In Vera’s previous fight this past in August, “The Phenom” won a 6-round unanimous decision in Las Vegas overRavshan Hudaynazarov (17-2), a former world-rated fighter from Uzbekistan.
“I would like to get in the ring as soon as possible,” Vera added. “I wanted rounds, so it’s time to get right back in there. I’m unscathed and in shape.”
No evento co-featured, ABF West super lightweight championChriston Edwards (12-2, 6 Kos) won a 6-round unanimous decision from Texas welterweightJonathan Steele (9-7-1, 6 Kos) in a non-title fight.
Eridson Garcia (11-0, 7 Kos), of Houston by way of the Dominican Republic, won a split decision againstJose Miguel Diaz Valenzuela (6-1, 1 KO), de Phoenix, in a battle of undefeated super featherweights. Scoring, aínda, was odd as Garcia won 60-54 e 59-55, but the third judge scored it a draw, 57-57.
Tennessee super lightweightTyler “Short Fuse” Tomlin permaneceu invicto, improving to 10-0 (6 Kos) with a quick stoppage of overmatched Venezuelan veteranRicardo Ocampo (12-11, 7 Kos), who was knocked out at the 53-seconds mark of round one.
