MINNEAPOLIS (Красавіка 14, 2018) – Welterweight contender Джамал Джэймс (23-1, 10 КО) earned a hard fought majority decision over Абель Рамас (18-3-2, 13 КО) in front of his hometown fans Friday night in the main event of Прэм'ер Бокс чэмпіёнаў на FS1 і FOX Sports from the Armory in Minneapolis.

 

 

 

“It feels so great to get this win in Minneapolis in front of all of my people here,” said James, “Ramos was a tough opponent who gave me a great challenge, but I was able to keep my composure and give the fans a win.”

 

 

 

James used his 6-foot-2 frame and reach advantage to beat Ramos to the punch in round one, but was clipped in round two by a left hook from the game Ramos that had the local favorite in temporary trouble and on the defensive.

 

 

 

The Minneapolis-native was able to regain his composure and return to the offensive as he poured right hands behind a strong jab along with movement that made it difficult for Ramos to land cleanly. Ramos continued to charge forward however, emphasizing body shots that slowed James down and allowed him to win rounds.

 

 

 

“I had to dig down tonight but I think it was a good fight for me to grind out,” said James. “I’m going to keep getting better and I hope to have a chance to display my talents at home again. I know if I keep working, I’m going to get a chance to prove myself against the best out there.”

 

 

 

James was able to send the hometown fans happy after 10 раўндаў, with judges giving him the majority decision by scores of 95-95 і 96-94 двойчы.

 

 

 

The telecast also featured a spirited 10-round lightweight clash that saw Эднер Вішнёвы (37-7-2, 19 КО)earn a close but unanimous decision over Дэніс Galarza(16-3, 9 КО).

 

 

 

Galarza controlled the early action with his jab and a powerful right hand that appeared to have Cherry stunned in the first round. His length advantage was key until Cherry was able to establish position on the inside.

 

 

 

Cherry began to land several powerful shots on Galarza with both hands in the middle rounds, backing Galarza up and taking away much of power on his shots. Galarza tried to back off and box Cherry more down the stretch, but was unable to avoid the oncoming Cherry as often as he needed.

 

 

 

Пасля 10 rounds all three judges favored the work of Cherry by scores of 97-93 і 96-94 двойчы.

 

 

 

In a battle of unbeaten prospects, Крыс Колберта (8-0, 2 КО) scored a TKO victory over Осцін Дулан (11-1, 8 КО)after seven rounds of lightweight action.

 

 

 

Colbert was first to the punch from the outset, landing straight right hands cleanly before flummoxing Dulay by switching to the southpaw stance. Colbert scored a knockdown in round six with a combo punctuated by a powerful body shot. After a dominant seventh round, referee Mark Nelson stopped the fight after checking on Dulay in his corner.

 

 

 

Additional action saw 6-foot-6 unbeaten prospect Себасцьян “Пекла ў паднябессе” Fondora (9-0, 5 КО) stop previously unbeaten Veshawn Owens (9-1, 9 КО)на 2:27 of the fifth round of their super welterweight fight and 17-year-old former amateur standout Joey Spencer (2-0, 2 КО)deliver a dominant TKO 51 seconds into the first round against Ousmane Sylla (1–3-1, 1 KO) in a super welterweight contest.
