Reymart “GenSan Assassin” Gaballo of General Santos City, פיליפינען, captured his first version of a world title and introduced himself to the world stage with a unanimous decision victory over perennial top contender Stephon “Showstopper” יונג פון סט. לוי.
Fighting in the main event of Kris Lawrence and The Heavyweight Factory’s “Rumble at the Rock” at Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, פלאָרידאַ, the hard-punching Gaballo (19-0, 16 קאָס) became the WBA Interim World Bantamweight Champion with unanimous scores of 118-109, 117-110 און 117-110.
יונג, איצט 17-1-3, 7 קאָס, was down in round three and badly hurt, but to his credit, got up and kept it exciting and closer than the scores indicate throughout the remainder of the 12 ראָונדס.
The speed and reflexes of 19-year-old Honolulu-based welterweight prospect Logan “Korican Kid” Yoon (11-0, 10 קאָס) overcame the determination and experience of former two-time world champion Juan Carlos Salgado (27-8-1, 16 קאָס) of Mexico City over 10 workmanlike rounds.
Fighting for the NABO Super Lightweight Championship, Yoon showed surprising poise and maturity for a young fighter in his 11th fight and seemed unphased to be facing such an accomplished foe. His sharp counters landed with regularity on the tough former champion. צו זיין קרעדיט, Salgado fought bravely, but at 33 יאר אַלט, seems to have lost a step.
די סקאָרז זענען 100-89, 97-92 און 98-91, unanimously for Yoon.
Former WBA World Super Bantamweight Champion וואַן קאַרלאָס פּייַאַנאָ survived a real scare against “Magic” Mike Plania in their 10-round brawl for the NABO Super Bantamweight Championship.
After a strong first couple rounds, Plania, איצט 14-1, 7 קאָס, had Payano down and badly hurt near the end of round three.
He never really threatened Payano again. A consummate professional, פּייַאַנאָ (20-1, 9 קאָס), of Miami via La Vega, דאָמיניקאַן רעפובליק, came out for round four with the answers for neutralizing the harder punches of his Philippine opponent and never lost another round.
די סקאָרז זענען 96-93, 97-92 און 97-92, unanimously for the new champion Payano.
The 6-foot 9-inch heavyweight from Kissimmee, פלאָרידאַ, via Rudniy, קאַזאַקסטאַן, Ivan Dychko (7-0, 6 קאָס) scored a highlight-reel first-round, one-punch knockout over Miami Beach’s formerly undefeated Stephan Kirnon (2-1, 2 קאָס).
Kirnon, admirably, came out aggressive against the giant, but quickly ran into a shot that propelled him violently into the floor. The fight was immediately waved off at :38. Dychko, a two-time Olympic Super Heavyweight Bronze medallist, could not have been more impressive.
In a 10-round battle for the NABA-USA Featherweight Championship Miami via Ekibastuz, Kazakhstan bomber Mussa “Warrior” Tursyngaliyev (8-0, 7 קאָס) clubbed away at brave, but outgunned לויס “Barcelo” הינאָדזשאָסאַ (31-14, 18 קאָס) פון Santo Domingo, דאָמיניקאַן רעפובליק, until stopping him at the end of round three.
Tursyngaliyev is very strong and accurate, and he had things all his way throughout. He scored a knockdown in the second and finished it a round later. Hinojosa elected to stay on his stool, probably wisely.
Miami super welterweight JD “שיין יינגל” מאַרטינעז (9-0, 7 קאָס)
managed to squeak out a questionable majority six-round decision over fellow Floridian דזשאָסע “Colombian Necktie” Cortes (3-2, 1 קאָ) of West Palm Beach.
Cortes chased Martinez around the ring, seemingly with the harder punches and a more aggressive demeanor, but it was not enough to please the judges. They scored it 57-57 draw against 58-56 און 58-56 for Martinez.
Popular Miami welterweight Harold Calderon (15-0, 9 קאָס) took a round or two to settle in against Barranquilla, Colombia’s ראָנאַלד “ווילד” Montes (18-8, 16 קאָס), אָבער, once he got his rhythm, it was all over.
The powerful undefeated southpaw lobbed enough accurate bombs to convince his Colombian foe to pack it in at the end of third round of their scheduled six. The official result is TKO 3 בייַ 2:59. Calderon is ready for deeper water.
In an entertaining all-Florida super bantamweight bout, Miami’s popular Jessy “Beast Boy” קרייַז (12-7-1, 5 קאָס) and Palm Bay’s Sam Rodriquez (5-2, 3 קאָס) slugged it out over six exciting rounds.
אין די סוף, Rodriquez took a razor-thin unanimous decision (58-55, 57-56 און 57-56) on the strength of a fourth-round knockdown.
Fighting out of the southpaw stance, the heavily muscled Cruz got out to an early lead and rocked the smaller Rodriquez with his thudding left hand. But Rodriquez hung tough and clawed back into it by round three.
The pair went back and forth the entire fight and it could have gone either way.
Former WBO Asia Pacific Light Heavyweight Champion סטיוו “The Ambassador” Geffrard (17-2, 12 קאָס) of Boca Raton stopped Budapest, Hungary’s Zoltan סיראַ (38-16-1, 20 קאָס) in the fourth of a scheduled six.
For the first three rounds, Geffrard, who lost his first two fights and hasn’t lost since, shook off the rust and kept his composure against the awkward offerings of his European foe. He finally broke through in the fourth, scoring two knockdowns and prompting Referee Sam Burgos to wave it off at :39.
Miami’s Jorge De Jesus Romero (5-0, 4 קאָס) put on a bodyshot clinic in his abbreviated six-round super bantamweight battle against Hungarian veteran Szilveszter Ajtai (12-10-1, 2 קאָס).
In the first, Romero came forward like an aggressive buzzsaw against the circling Ajtai. אין די רגע, he lowered the boom, scoring three consecutive bodyshot knockdowns, and necessitating a stoppage at 2:01. Impressive showing for the Florida prospect.
The son of a legend, Robert Duran Jr. of Fort Lauderdale made his impressive professional welterweight debut by stopping Orlando’s also debuting Miguel Morales אין דער פערט קייַלעכיק.
Morales was no pushover, but Duran, looking like he already has some seasoning, put educated combinations together and waited for his opening. It came in the final stanza, as he scored his first knockdown of Morales with a right to the body left uppercut combo, and then finished things off with a thudding right hand that produced a second knockdown.
Referee James Warring waved it off without a count at 2:21.
