(L-R) – Mykquan Williams & Paul Cichon


HARTFORD (Octobre 27, 2021) – Unbeaten super lightweight prospect “Marvelous” Mykquan Williams (16-0-1, 7 KOs) has been on a long, strange trip in 2021, starting with his career-defining victory to date last January, malheureusement, followed by a car accident resulting in a wrist injury, leading to the entrepreneurial launch of his “Marvelous” merchandise and products, and last Thursday he became a father for the first time.

“It’s been very frustrating,” Williams said about his injury. "Ceci est ce que je fais; Je suis un combattant. At times it has been hard, and I’ve been frustrated the entire time. I’m eager to fight again, but I need to be patient. When the time is right and I’m back 100-percent, I’ll be back in the ring, avec optimisme, early next year. Maintenant, I have to build-up my wrist, strength-wise.”

Williams was in a car accident this past March 5e, in which he suffered a dislocated right wrist, popped into place that evening in the trauma unit. The next morning, Williams underwent surgery to insert four pins, which left him in a splint for 11 semaines, until the pins were removed May 15e. Therapy and exercises were all he could do, no boxing at all, until he returned to training, and he threw his first punch only three weeks ago.

When a boxer suffers a serious injury to his hands like Williams, it often leaves questions about his or her boxing future. No different for “Marvelous” Mykquan, as he admits.

"Personnellement,” Williams explained, “I worry about coming back close to where I was, but I keep faith and keep working. People have been very supportive. Sometimes I think about not being able to box again, but I try not to think about that, but that is positioned in my mind.”

“We’re in no rush,” Williams’ head trainer Paul Cichon noted. “We’re doing exactly what his doctors are saying. I believe he’ll be back stronger, and more focused than ever now that he has a son to consider. I think he’ll be back strong in 2022.”

Williams has taken advantage of his downtime to launch his “Marvelous Chili,” as well as a “Marvelous” clothing line and gear, and he’s also looking into purchasing property.

His is life was dramatically altered this past Thursday, when his girlfriend, Zuleyma, delivered his son, Attikus Williams, qui a pesé à, as a ring announcer would say, a fit and ready 9-pounds.

As he prepares for his comeback, Williams and Cichon will promote an amateur show November 20e at a venue to be determined.
“We’re hosting the show to help kids at our gym, Manchester ROCS (dans CT),” the DiBella Entertainment promoted Williams remarked. “We want to do a couple a year.”

The 23-year-old Williams has already overcome the murder of his father when Mykquan was only one, in addition to having his family house burned to the ground 10 Des années plus tard. A dislocated wrist has no chance of making him less than “Marvelous.”

Unbeaten Mykquan Williams staying in boxing shape as much as possible under pandemic conditions

Laisser un commentaire

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Mars 23, 2020) – Like most professional boxers, unbeaten super lightweight prospect“Marvelous” Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 KOs) is making the most out of a challenging situation, as he prepares for his unknown future in boxing.

The coronavirus has shutdown boxing worldwide. Events are suspended indefinitely, boxers restricted in terms of training, and the immediate future remains tenuous at best.

Unable to train at his gym, Manchester ROCS, which is closed due to a Connecticut state order, the 21-year-old Williams is handling this pandemic in a mature manner that belies his young age. No whining, no ‘poor me’ feelings.

”This is a difficult time for everybody, including those of us in boxing,” East Hartford (CT) resident Williams said. “There’s no boxing on TV, nobody can compete, and everybody is isolated. It’s just unfortunate, but I’d rather be safe than sorry. Health concerns are and should always be the top priority.”

Williams hasn’t been in action since last October 24th, when he fought to a questionable eighth-round majority draw withTre'Sean Wiggins, in which Williams retained his World Boxing Council (WBC) Etats-Unis (USNBC) super lightweight title. Most observers felt that Williams deserved a win by decision.

Since the beginning of 2020, Williams had been training for an expected fight in the first third of the year, and he’s still training to stay in shape, albeit it not the same way as if he had a confirmed fight date.

“I’m still doing some training,” Williams explained. “I need to stay in shape for when the call comes after boxing returns. I’m in decent shape and when I get my next fight date, I won’t have to go from zero to get ready. I want to maintain 50 à 60 percent shape and then finish off training on schedule for my next fight.”

“I know Mykey has still been running,” Williams’ head trainerPaul Cichon added. “We’re going to be back training soon. I believe everything happens for a reason. Mykey and me had a conference call with (directeur) Jackie Kallen et (organisateur) Lou DiBella, and we trust that, as soon as possible, Mykey will be back in action.”

Because Williams doesn’t turn 22 until this April 6, in addition to already being a pro boxer for nearly four years, his young boxing career figures to resume quicker and stronger than for many older boxers. Losing six months shouldn’t hinder a prospect like Williams as much as a veteran who may not have nearly as much comparable quality competitive time left in the ring.

“I’m not sure if age is that big an advantage,” Williams countered. “If some fighters were getting burned out because they were fighting a lot, taking time off, whether it’s due to the virus or not, a break may help them come back better and stronger than when they last fought.”

Williams was a five-time national amateur champion, la compilation d'un 45-13 record amateur, highlighted by three Ringside World titles, in addition to gold medal performances at the National PAL and National Silver Gloves championship.

“I don’t know when boxing will return,” Williams concluded, “but boxing will never die. People will always want to see guys punching each other in the face. Boxing is a sport rich in tradition and, maintenant, there is still a lot of talent coming up.”

And Mykquan Williams will be right at the head of that next wave when the boxing ban is finally lifted.

Le célèbre manager Jackie Kallen prédit que l'invaincu Mykquan Williams sera son sixième champion du monde

Laisser un commentaire

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Février 12, 2020) – Women’s pioneerJackie Kallen, the first and arguably most successful female manager in the boxing history, strongly believes unbeaten 21-year-old“Marvelous” Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 KOs) will develop into her sixth world champion.

Williams, combats à East Hartford, CT, is the reigning the World Boxing Council (WBC) Champion des États-Unis super léger.

“Mykey has a lot of the qualities as some of the greats in boxing,” Kallen said. “He has some of the flash and speed of fighters like Ray Leonard, and the training habits and dedication of Thomas Hearns et Mike Tyson. He also has a killer smile and good looks like Hector Camacho, Sr.

“Mykey can go all the way to a world title. He has the speed, attitude, and heart, along with exceptional boxing ability. He has been groomed perfectly by his trainer, Paul Cichon, who has kept Mykey true to his style, working hard to perfect his skill. Mykey trains hard, eats right, and takes the game seriously.”

“Jackie’s very experienced and knowledgeable in boxing,” Williams remarked. “She’s worked with some great, world-class fighters, so she knows the route to take for me to get there.”

Cichon added, “I sought out Jackie as our manager because of her love for the sports, as well as the knowledge of that she brings to the table. She’s very well respected, as she certainly deserves to be.”

Boxing has dramatically changed since Kallen covered her first fight for a Detroit daily newspaper in 1978. The card showcased Hearns andMickey Goodwin.  She became an instant fan and wrote about boxing on a regular basis. A legendary trainer/manager based in Detroit, Emanuel Steward, hired her as a publicist for his famed Kronk Gym. Some of her best friends to this day are fighters who she worked with back then. She and Hearns still get together.

After serving as Kronk’s publicist for a decade, Kallen decided to branch out and she started managing fighters. Her first client was heavyweightBobby Hitz, who today is a successful promoter and restaurateur in Chicago. She went on to manage a group of Who’s Who fighters, including world championsJames Toney, Bronco McKart, Tom “Boom Boom” Johnson, Pinklon Thomas etNonito Donaire.

Kallen, who overcame sexism in the boxing industry, is best known, peut-être, for her working relationship with Toney, largely because her life during that period was the inspiration for the popular 2004 film, Against the Ropes, starringMeg Ryan as Kallen.

“Boxing today is a totally different animal,” she explained. “That’s not to say it’s better or worse, just different. There used to be more gyms in every city, heavy amateur programs, lots of shows on television networks, and enough local club shows to keep a young fighter active. I had guys back then who fought 8 à 10 times a year, ce qui, bien sûr, is almost impossible in 2020.

“There wasn’t as much information available on opponents either. If you were lucky, you could buy a tape. If the fighter hadn’t been on television, bien que, you were out of luck. There was no Internet, so there was nothing like BoxRec to check opponents’ records. You just had to believe the matchmaker. I had fighters expecting to fight a 14-4 guy who found out at the weigh in that he was actually 16-0.”

Boxe, likely the second-oldest profession, has continued to survive, albeit often on a roller-coaster ride.

“Today’s fighters are not as quick to fight each other as they were in the days of Hearns/Hagler/Leonard/Duran,” Kallen noted. “Back then, fighters wanted to really fight to be the best they could be. I see fighters today being more analytical and taking less chances.

“There are also more sanctioning organizations today. Back then it was most the WBA, WBC and IBF. Not to mention there was never one person who managed dozens and dozens of boxers at the same time. The game has definitely changed!"

Kallen, though is still heavily invested in the sport she loves. Confident Williams will be her next world champion, her dream is to be inducted into the Hall of Fame with Toney.

“In 1992,” Kallen concluded, “I was named ‘Manager of the Year’ and my love for the sport has never waned. As long as there is talent out there needing guidance, I will stay active.”

Unbeaten Mykquan Williams learned invaluable lesson for future

Laisser un commentaire
Picture by Emily Harney / Équipe Williams

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Novembre 4, 2019) – The true test for a genuine boxing prospect is how he or she responds to adversity, whether it included a loss, Couper, knockdown or, in the case of “Merveilleux” Mykquan Williams, a disputed decision that tarnished his perfect pro record.

The 21-year-old Williams, maintenant 15-0-1 (7 KOs), was recently on the short end of a highly disputed eight-round draw with Tre'Sean Wiggins (11-4-3, 6 KOs), dans le “Broadway de boxe” main event held at Generoso Pope Athletic Complex on the campus of St. Francis College in Brooklyn.

Nobody claimed the questionable decision was highway robbery, encore, most non-partisan fans at the show, or those watching live on UFC FIGHT PASS®, felt Williams rightfully deserved to have his arms raised in victory. Despite having a blemish placed on his pro record, he didn’t suffer a loss, and did retain his World Boxing Council (WBC) United States super lightweight title.

Williams’ opponent was a southpaw with a five-inch height advantage. Once he felt Williams’ puissance, especially in the liver, Wiggins went into survival mode, clutching and grabbing every time Williams got close.

Neither Williams nor his head trainer, Paul Cichon, was pleased when the judges’ scores were announced – 77-75 in favor of Williams, 76-76 deux fois – for a majority draw. Cependant, both feel that this developmental lesson will pay dividends down the road.

“The plan was for me to work inside,” Williams said after the fight. “The first and second were feeling out rounds and then I’d adjust. I didn’t feel from the start that he could hurt me. I wanted to get inside and beat him with body punches. I did that but I think I played to the crowd a little too much. I’d change that if I could go back. And I would have let my hands go more, but I won this fight because I landed the harder, cleaner more effective shots throughout the fight. He just wanted to hold.

“I’m disappointed because I was defending my title, but I didn’t lose the fight and I still have my belt. I ll have a lot to learn and I’ll be back in the gym soon to fix errors I made so that I won’t have those issues my next fight.”

Cichon felt that Williams won five if not six rounds because he was the aggressor throughout the match. “J'ai été surpris,” il a admis. “Mykye was the champion and I thought that he (Wiggins) would have needed to win convincingly to win rounds. He didn’t. Mykye started using his double jab to get inside and then he killed his opponent’s body. The body shots brought Wiggins’ hands down. Mykye stalked and hurt him a few times.

“Mykye learned a valuable lesson like not letting the crowd get to him, and never letting up on the gas.Wiggins was smart. Every time Mykye got close to him, he grabbed him, especially after he felt Mykye’s powerful body shots. It may have been ugly, but he fought smart.”

Team Williams agrees that there’s no sense rushing Williams, après tout, il est seulement 21, but that 2020 should be an active, career-changing year for the East Hartford (CT) combattant.

“I’m ready to fight at the next level,” Williams concluded. “Time will tell. Styles make fights but I hurt him (Wiggins) several times.”

“We’ll jump back in the ring in early 2020,” Cichon added. “We’re looking to fight opponents with winning records, but not another six-foot southpaw.”

“I was very proud of Mykey,” Williams’ directeur Jackie Kallen commenté. It was a learning experience that will make him an even greater fighter. He is still undefeated and one of the top young prospects in the 140-pound division. The next year will be a pivotal one for him.”

“Everything went very well,” a happy Williams said. “All the kids got a backpack and had a good time. My team made it possible for me to do it. Shout out to DiBella Entertainment, Wet Paint and Capital Bail Bonds. I did this event to give back to the community but, plus important, help parents who may have a little bit of difficulty getting everything their kids need for school.”

Mashantucket, CT (Septembre 16, 2017) – Undefeated Irishman Niall “Boom Boom” Kennedy won a controversial 10-round split decision versus defending champion Alexis Santos to capture the New England heavyweight championship in last night’s (Samedi) main event of Broadway de boxe held in Fox Theater, au Foxwoods Resort Casino, à Mashantucket, CT.
Le Broadway de boxe la série est promue par DiBella Entertainment et présentée par Nissan of Queens, Montres Azad, OPTYX, et Christos Steak House. Last night’s show, which was streamed by FightNight LIVE on Facebook, was promoted in association with Murphys Boxing.
Kennedy (9-0, 5 KOs), se battre hors de Galway, Irlande, by way of Boston, battled Santos in a competitive, action-packed brawl to be awarded the N.E. title by scores of 96-93, 96-93, 93-96. The majority of fans in attendance, outside of Kennedy’s Irish supporters, and the ringside media felt that Santos, de Lawrence, MA, had the edge and deserved the decision.
Arbitre Al LoBianco deducted a point from Santos in the ninth round for a highly questionable low blow and failed to rule a knockdown when it appeared the ropes kept Kennedy upright in a tremendous last round surge from the Dominican American.
Dans le combat co-vedette, ancien champion du monde Shelly “Way Shelito” Vincent (20-1, 1 KO), de la Providence, RI, defeated former world title challenger Ange “Non-Stop” Gladney (9-13-1, 6 KOs) in a junior lightweight match. The colorful Vincent was the aggressor throughout the fight, effectively cutting off the ring, outboxing and walking down Gladney for a lop-sided eight-round unanimous decision (80-72, 80-71 deux fois).
Shelly Vincent (L) outclassed Angel Gladney
Rising Connecticut welterweight star “Merveilleux” Mykquan Williams amélioré son record de 8-0 (4 KOs), pitching a complete shutout in an impressive six-round unanimous decision (tout 60-54) win over a much more experienced and considerably taller Evincii “Prize Fighter” Dixon (7-20-2, 2 KOs). Williams is a 19-year-old from East Hartford who is a freshman at Manchester Community College.
Mykquan Williams (L) cruised to another victory
2012 Ukrainienne olympienne Ievgen “The Ukrainian Lion” Khytrov (15-1, 13 KOs), combats de Brooklyn, bounced back from his only pro loss with a near shutout eight-round decision victory (80-72 deux fois, 79-73) over his always tough super middleweight adversary, battle-tested veteran Derrick “Superman” Finley (27-22-1, 18 KOs).
“It was different when I first started training after a loss,” Khytrov said after the fight. “I started to think more and work on my defense; to fight much smarter instead of just brawling, throwing punches, like I did before my loss. I came the US four years ago from a small country that’s not rich to become a world champion. I feel I’m back on the right track.
Ievgen Khytrov (R) bounced back with a solid win
Hot New England junior welterweight prospect Adrian “Tonka” Sosa (5-0, 4 KOs) stepped up in class against Mexican Francisco “Le singe” Moyenne (11-10, 7 KOs), and remained undefeated by displaying his overall game, offensively and defensively. Fighting out of Lawrence, MA, la 2014 n.s.. amateur champion Sosa dropped Medal with a straight right in the first round, a sneaky body shot in the second and finished him off in the third with a crisp right to the temple as referee Al LoBianco immediately halted the action.
Pro-debuting welterweights Nicky DeQuattro (1-0, 1 KO) et Timothy Wheeler (0-1) engaged in a street fight from the opening bell until DeQuartro, fighting out of Johnson, RI, connected with an overhand right that dropped his New York City rival. Quelques instants plus tard, DeQuattro unleashed a four-punch combination that dropped Wheeler for a complete 10-count.
The night started with a barnburner as former Irish amateur standout ray moylette (6-0, 2 KOs) kept his undefeated pro record intact but it certainly wasn’t easy. Moylette overcame a second-round knockdown, coming back strong in the second half of the fight to take a six-round split decision versus game junior welterweight Donte Bryant (1-3-1, 1 KO).

Mashantucket, CT (Juin 4, 2017) – L'incroyable retour de Mat “Tireur pointu” Rémillard a continué hier soir alors que le populaire poids léger du Connecticut s'arrêtait Fatiou Fassinou dans le Broadway de boxe tête d'affiche tenue au Fox Theatre, au Foxwoods Resort Casino, à Mashantucket, CT.
Le Broadway de boxe la série est promue par DiBella Entertainment et présentée par Nissan of Queens, Montres Azad, OPTYX, et Christos Steak House.
Rémillard, 30, était le non. 2-classé poids plume au monde en 2011, quand il a perdu face au futur champion du monde Mikey Garcia (LRTD11). Combattre de Manchester, CT, le combat de ce soir était le premier de Remillard dans son pays d'origine en six ans et demi, parce qu'il purge une peine de cinq ans de prison. Il est revenu sur le ring en avril dernier, prendre une décision en huit tours Augustin Mauras, à Worcester, MA.
Dans la manche d'ouverture, Rémillard (25-1, 14 KOs) et l'habile béninois, ancien champion d'argent international WBC Fassinou (27-6-3, 14 KOs) ont appris à se connaître car les deux combattants étaient prudents. Rémillard s'est ouvert au deuxième tour, en utilisant sa gauche contre le corps, laissant tomber Fassinou dans son coin pendant les dernières secondes. Rémillard a pressé l'action en troisième, poivrant Fassinou autour du ring dans son style punitif familier, mettre Fassinou dans son “Tireur pointu” viseurs pour la pratique de la cible dans le quatrième. Fassinou n'a pas répondu à la cloche du cinquième tour.
“Contre un gaucher, le crochet gauche au foie est là, un coup de poing pour lequel je suis connu,” Rémillard a commenté après le combat. “Il était un peu plus bâclé que ce à quoi je m'attendais. Je me sentais bien; Je suis 24/7 dans le gymnase. Peut-être que j'aurai un combat de plus cette année pour participer à quelques rounds, puis préparez-vous pour un grand 2018. Je veux une revanche avec Garcia, à 135 ou 140 livres, 100-pour cent. Il me doit une revanche. Le gars qu'il a battu n'était pas moi.”
Rouslan Chamalov (L) & George Arias a tourné dans le combat de la nuit
Dans la co-métrage, deux poids lourds basés à New York, 6'5″ Russe Rouslan Chamalov (4-1, 3 KOs) et dominicain “Gentilhomme” Georges Arias (7-0, 3 KOs), se battre à Brooklyn et dans le Bronx, respectivement, mettre leurs records invaincus en jeu. Les coups de poing puissants de Shamalov ont secoué le 5’11 beaucoup plus court” Arias au premier tour, mais Arias est resté hors des cordes et a beaucoup mieux boxé dans la seconde. Les deux combattants ont échangé des bombes tout au long d'un formidable troisième round et, d'une certaine manière, le quatrième était encore meilleur avec des allers-retours, action non-stop. Le rythme s'est légèrement ralenti au cinquième tour, préparant le terrain pour une sixième et dernière image à la bombe qui n'a pas déçu.
Shamalov et Arias se sont battus à un rythme effréné, surtout pour les poids lourds, dans un légitime six rounds “Combat de l'Année” candidat. Airs, le chef de l'équipe Wash Em’ Dans le Bronx, a remporté une décision unanime en six tours par des dizaines de 60-54, 59-55, et 58-56.
“Cette victoire était énorme pour moi,” dit un Arias ravi, après son premier combat en six rounds. “J'avais un plan de match, mais une fois il m'a fait mal au premier tour, mon coeur a pris le dessus et je me suis juste battu. J'aime me battre pour le peuple, alors j'ai tenu le premier au lieu de prendre un genou.”
Mykquan Williams (R) a fêté son diplôme d'études secondaires un peu tôt
Favori du public “Merveilleux” Mykquan Williams (7-0, 4 KOs) s'est offert un cadeau de fin d'études secondaires alors que le combattant d'East Hartford battait le poids welter nicaraguayen Arielle “Guerre” Vasquez (13-18-2, 9 KOs) dans le premier combat en six rounds du premier. Williams, 19 ans, un quintuple champion national amateur, est une star en herbe avec un énorme potentiel. Prêt au-delà de ses années, Williams a contrôlé le rythme contre son adversaire gaucher testé au combat, qui est 11 années Williams’ Sénior, affichant son vaste arsenal de coups de poing, surtout sa combinaison gauche-droite qui a atterri régulièrement. Williams’ les mains rapides ont explosé pour la première fois à la fin du deuxième tour, puis il reprit son assaut au troisième, alors qu'il se dirigeait vers une décision de blanchissage en six rounds, avec trois décomptes de 60-54.
Williams est diplômé le Juin 20 de PrinceTech. “C'était un bon cadeau de fin d'études,” Williams a dit. “La vitesse de ma main a joué un grand facteur. Il était un dur à cuire, surtout pour mon premier six rounds.”
Jennifer Salinas (R) en avait trop pour Marquita Lee
champion poids plume Jennifer “La reine bolivienne” Salinas (20-4, 5 KOs) vaincu Marquita Lee (3-5) au moyen d'une décision unanime en six tours âprement disputée. Salinas, combattant de Providence, a été l'agresseur tout au long, mais Lee n'a jamais reculé. Tableaux de bord 59-55 deux fois, et 58-56, tout pour Salinas.
Combattre un adversaire africain beaucoup plus expérimenté et plus grand, prometteuse Lynn, Perspective MA Khiry “TNT” Todd (5-0, 5 KOs) a remporté son cinquième combat professionnel, tous par KO. Un 2016 Nouvelle-Angleterre d'or Gloves champion, Todd a acquis une expérience inestimable contre les super-welters méfiants Nicolas Sarouna (12-9-1, 9 KOs), du Togo, qui a pris un genou après avoir été touché par un uppercut sournois au troisième tour. Sarouna n'a pas réussi à battre le compte de 10 alors que Todd a amélioré son record parfait, avec un arrêt de TKO au 1:32 marque.
Radzhab Butaev a laissé Abraham Alvarez sur le tapis dans une douleur intense
Perspective invaincue des poids moyens russes Rajab “Le Python” Butaïev (6-0, 4 KOs) c'était trop pour le mexicain Abraham “La Swift” Alvarez (20-11-1, 11 KOs). Butaev a laissé tomber Alvarez tôt avec un crochet gauche vicieux, dont Alvarez ne s'est jamais complètement remis. Un droit brutal au foie a remis le Mexicain sur le tapis, dans une douleur évidente, comme arbitre Joey Lupin a immédiatement abandonné le combat à 1:05 de la première ronde.
Poids croiseur cubain Luis “Le lion” Garcia (15-0, 12 KOs) a gardé son record professionnel parfait intact avec un KO au premier tour de son adversaire mexicain surclassé Felipe Romero (19-14-1, 13 KOs), combats de San Diego. Vivant maintenant à Peekskill, New York, Garcia a laissé tomber Romero avec un coup droit dans les premières secondes et il n'a jamais lâché, blessant constamment Romero avec une série de droits dévastateurs. Garcia a clôturé le spectacle avec un uppercut puissant, arbitre principal Johnny Callas d'arrêter l'action au 1:48 marque.
Trois fois membre de l'équipe nationale de boxe portoricaine Jose Roman (4-0, 3 KOs) a parcouru la distance pour la première fois contre un match William Hill (2-3), de Detroit. Le super poids welter portoricain qualifié a appliqué la pression de la cloche d'ouverture, en utilisant une attaque au corps féroce sur Hill, qui a été piégé dans les cordes pendant la majeure partie du combat. Les juges ont compté 40-36 deux fois, et 39-37, tout pour Roman par décision unanime.
##
Le concurrent poids plume invaincu de DiBella Entertainment, Luis Rosa, s'est également battu Samedi, en tête d'affiche d'une carte au Floyd Little Athletic Center dans sa ville natale de New Haven, CT, face à Carlos Osorio, de Managua, Nicaragua. Rosa a fait pression sur son adversaire tout au long du concours, l'épuisant avec une attaque constante contre le corps. Osorio était partant et avait un coup dur, bien que les combinaisons du favori de la ville natale à l'intérieur aient contribué à diminuer la puissance de frappe du Nicaraguayen. Croyant qu'Osorio avait subi beaucoup de punitions, l'arbitre a interrompu le combat au 1:25 marque de six rondes, décernant à Rosa la victoire du TKO. Avec la victoire, Rosa s'est améliorée pour 23-0 (11 KOs), tandis que le record d'Osorio est tombé à 13-7 (5 KOs).
