The night consisted of three hard-fought contests featuring young prospects matched tough, which has been a signature of the series for the past 20 anos.

Cleveland’s 24-year-old Steen (16-0, 12 KOs) won the main event by just two rounds on one scorecard, 96-94, e 97-93 on two other cards against the 31-year-old Henderson (14-1-2,10 KOs) de Fayetteville, Ark., in the first 10-round fight of both fighters’ careers.

“It was a close decision because in the first few rounds I wasn’t going by the game plan and was just trying to get him out like I usually do in my fights,” said Steen, who is the half-brother of 2016 U.S. Olympian Charles Conwell, who cheered Steen on from ringside. “It would have looked good to have the knockout, but beating him like I did was more amazing.”

Henderson narrowly edged out Steen in two of the three punch-stat categories, out-jabbing him 20% (47-236) para 18% (50-281) and earning a 2% edge in total punches, 28% para 26%. Steen barley nudged past Henderson in the power-punching department, 42% para 41%, with Steen landing 58 de 138 and Henderson 59 de 144.

“I thought it was a close fight and that I lost by a close decision,” Henderson said. “I lost my right hand in Round 4 because I tore my shoulder and from then on, I used the left to try and control the pace.”

Henderson added: “I could have cut the ring off a little bit more. I didn’t want to let him know I couldn’t use my right hand because I knew he would try and take advantage of it. My coach told me to try and fake the right hand like I was going to throw it, and then hit him with the left hand. We followed our game plan, and everything we wanted to do.”

Steen knows his future is bright and he wants to share the limelight with his brother on August 29 as Conwell is fighting on the undercard of a highly anticipated SHOWTIME PPV event in Cleveland.

“I want to get added to the undercard of my brother’s fight on the Jake Paul-Tyron Woodley card in my hometown,"Ele disse. “I want to bring it back to Cleveland next month.”

In the co-feature pitting a pair of 22-year-olds, Shinard Bunch (15-1-1, 13 KOs) e Janelson Figueroa Bocachica (17-0-1, 11 KOs) fought to a controversial split draw in a 10-round welterweight bout. One judge scored the fight 97-93 in favor of Bunch, um 96-94 in favor of Figueroa Bocachica and the final judge 95-95.

Bunch of Trenton, NJ, and Figueroa Bocachica of Detroit were both close in punches thrown with 399 for Bunch and 390 for Figueroa Bocachica. Bunch used his jab throughout the fight, aterrissagem 68 de 217 and landed 30.8% de seus golpes de energia.

“Of course I thought I won the fight,” said Bunch. “I honestly feel like I won it. Even his coach said I won the fight. I landed the more powerful shots, even boxing-wise; sticking and moving. The only thing I could do better was get a knockout. I feel like I hurt him plenty of times. I don’t know what the judges were watching.”

Figueroa Bocachica said he thought he won the fight. “I felt like he didn’t land anything that hurt me and I applied the pressure. I didn’t agree with the judges, but I’m the fighter not the judge. I could have put pressure from beginning instead of the end. I could have used the jab more. I was being lazy with my right hand because I was going to knock him out. Those are things I need to learn.”

Ele adicionou: “Oh yeah, there will be controversy after this. It comes with the sport.”

The telecast opener featured a highly competitive fight in a battle of unbeatens with Martino Jules (11-0-2, 2 KOs) scoring a unanimous win over ShoBox veterano Aram Avagyan (10-1-2, 4 KOs) in an eight-round featherweight affair. Os juízes marcou a luta 77-74, 78-73 e 79-72 all in favor of Jules.

The 24-year-old southpaw Jules from Allentown, Pa., scored a key knockdown in the last 45 seconds of the eight-round fight. Following a solid counter left hand landed by Jules, Avagyan slipped, stumbling to his knees in what was ruled a knockdown by referee Mark Nelson.

“What a turn of events in the last minute of the fight!", Disse ShoBox blow-by-blow commentator Barry Tompkins immediately following the knockdown.

“He kept jumping right toward me, so I just kept listening to my corner and going with the left,” said Jules, que desembarcou 85 da sua 295 power punches to Avagyan’s 122 de 316. “As soon as he got caught with the left he was off-balance and the left leg slipped and that was it.”

Fighting under the Salita Promotions banner, the 30-year-old Avagyan originally from Yerevan, Armênia, and now residing in California, was fighting on ShoBox for the third time and facing his fourth consecutive unbeaten fighter.

Jules knew it was close entering the final round. “I think the knockdown really helped me secure the round,"Ele disse. “Once he got knocked down he was rushing in to try and get the back, which helped me since I could control the pace a little bit more.”

International Boxing Hall of Famer Tompkins called the action from ringside with fellow Hall of Famer Al Bernstein and former world champion Raul Marquez serving as expert analysts. The executive producer was Gordon Hall with Rich Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing.

O evento, which was promoted by Marshall Kauffman’s Kings Promotions in association with Holden Productions, Salita Promotions and DiBella Entertainment, brought together fighters from seven different boxing promotional and management teams.

“I’ve only heard good things about Ryan, and I like the family aspect he talked about for his fighters,” O’Toole explained why he signed with Fighter Locker. “I know every manager will talk about how they will take care of you, but I really believed you, and I trust you will get a great promoter for me when the time comes. Mais, you have some Olympians, so you’re not taking just any and all fighters to sign. You want champions, which was the main thing for me. Knowing I’m in a stable with Olympians/national champions is great.


“I always intended to turn pro after Tokyo and had interest in waiting around for 2024 (next Olympics in Paris). It all worked out. I achieved more than I had hoped as an amateur an at just 23, I can’t wait to see what the next few years bring.”
O’Toole is tentatively scheduled to make his pro debut September 25th em Boston.
“Signing Thomas was very special to me,” manager Ryan Roach said. “He is one of the best in Ireland and in a very elite class. We talked a few times and we really hit it off. Sexta-feira passada, he shot me a message saying, ‘I’m all yours.’ I was ecstatic.

He really is a great fighter with a lot of skill. He’s a southpaw with some serious pop. Thomas is very young, so we will see which weight class suits him well. Boxing fans in New England, particularly in Boston, will love him. He’s a great person and fighter.”

Fighter Locker’s growing stable of gifted boxers include California super flyweight Rocco “So Cal Kid” Santomauro (21-1, 6 KOs), Troy, NY ABF American West super lightweight Ray Jay “The Destroyer” Bermudez (12-0, 9 KOs), ABF USA super welterweight Jimmy “Quiet Storm” Williams (18-5-2, 6 KOs), ABF American West super middleweight champion “The Amazing” Shawn McCalman (8-0, 4 KOs), super galo Daniel “G.D.F.E.” Bailey, Jr. (7-0, 4 KOs), leve Leonel de los Santos (3-0, 3 KOs), um 2-time Dominican Republic Olympian, Boston featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. (1-0, 1 KO), pro-debuting Dominican Republic welterweight Juan Solano, Salt Lake City, 2016 Brazilian Olympic silver medalist Yuberjen Martinez, Brazilian Olympian Jorge Vivas, Colorado super middleweight Marvin “Too Much” Cordova, Jr. (23-2-1, 12 KOs), West Palm Beach, FL light heavyweight Robert Daniels, Jr. (4-0, 4 KOs), Utah brothers, ABF American West lightweight champion Ignacio Chairez (9-0-1, 5 KOs) and lightweight Gabriel Chairez (4-0-1, 2 KOs).

“Eu acho que estaria conquistando um pouco mais, o golpe dela não me surpreendeu, mas senti que fiz o suficiente para manter o título. ”

“Eu bati nela com meu jab, se você olhar para o rosto dela, está confuso, se você olhar para o meu, meu rosto está bem. Acho que as pessoas do público a favorecem porque ela tem um estilo de kickboxing e eu contra, mas acho que foi o meu boxe que fez a diferença esta noite. ”

“Me sinto ótimo saindo da luta. Ele deu um passo à frente então eu fui para o tiro em vez de dar o soco e acho que fiz contato com a minha cabeça. Além disso eu estava passando por ele para derrubar. Como você viu, Terminei por cima, e a luta foi a partir daí.

“Eu não senti (o choque de cabeças), Eu só posso interromper o que ele estava dizendo na hora. Como eu disse, Eu estava apenas procurando chegar por cima e continuar a lutar, então eu realmente não sabia o que mais fazer. Eu pensei que se houvesse um contato que o árbitro teria visto e nós teríamos parado, é por isso que parei por um segundo em cima dele. Eu não fui direto para socar. Uma vez que o árbitro disse para continuar, Eu estava continuando a lutar.

“Eu quero Tim Johnson. Eu não quero uma chance pelo título. Eu prefiro ter Tim Johnson primeiro. Essa é realmente a única luta para a qual venho treinando desde aquela derrota. Para mim, com ele levando aquela perda (contra Valentin Moldavsky) e eu conseguindo essa vitória, deve nos alinhar ... Eu vou tentar derrubar seu– para fora assim como ele fez comigo. "

Matheus Mattos (13-2-1) derrotado Cee Jay Hamilton (15-9) por TKO (greves) em 1:33 da segunda rodada

Matheus Mattos:
“Ele é um lutador. Assim, ele poderia ter feito o jogo chato e me derrubado. Mas ele escolheu ir para o impressionante. Felizmente, ele fez isso porque foi um belo nocaute. Se o Bellator pudesse enviar mais atacantes para mim, então eles seriam bem-vindos. ”

"Eu me sinto ótimo, perfeitamente forte. Mas eu senti meu joelho 'bater'. E parei de me mover muito. Eu não fiz muito footwork. Eu sabia que isso estaria em minhas mãos, porque minha perna estava doendo. Esperançosamente, tudo ocorreu bem.

“Minhas duas derrotas foram para dois dos melhores do mundo. Assim, Eu luto em alto nível há muito tempo e estou preparado para todos. Eles podem ver que essa luta me deu as boas-vindas ao Bellator, e agora eles me conhecem. Eles sabem que Matheus Mattos é um atacante e está vindo para nós.

“Eu só estava tentando medir minha distância. Estava começando a ser uma luta um pouco lenta, sinto muito por isso, fãs. Eu podia ouvir você gritando. Mas eu estava determinado a manter meu ritmo e não me apressar em nada. Sabíamos que ela balançava com força e que o gancho de direita e esquerda veio muito rápido.
