(Հոկտեմբեր 20, 2024) – Nigerian heavyweight Kingsley Black Lion” Ibeh (14-2-1, 12 Նոկաուտով) turned in the best performance of his pro career in the main event of last night’s “EQC Fight Night,” card presented by Toro Promotions, Inc., and Whitfield Haydon Boxing, in the EQC Event Center at the famed Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Washington. In a Clash of the Titans, the 6’ 4”, 273-pound Ibeh only needed 49 seconds to stop 6’ 8”, 257-pound Jack “The Outlaw” May (10-1, 9 Նոկաուտով) գրավել թափուր բռնցքամարտի աշխարհի խորհրդին (WBC) Latino Silver Championship. The crowd of 2,000, which sold-out one week in advance, was electrified by the main event, in which there was no “feeling out” as Ibeh and May traded bombs from the opening bell. Suddenly, չնայած, Ibeh landed a powerful left cross on May, who was up against the ropes, and “The Outlaw” went down hard, severely knocked at the 59-seconds mark of the opening round. Ibeh, fighting out of Phoenix, weighed 7-pounds less than for his last fight, 16 fewer than he weighed four fights ago as the former professional football player in Canada won his ninth fight in a row. “The Black Lion” is the cousin of the retired former heavyweight Ike Ibeabuchi. Ի co-featured միջոցառման, hometown favorite Marquice Weston (16-4-1, 9 Նոկաուտով) registered a first-round stoppage of heavyweight John Shipman (5-8, 2 Նոկաուտով) by way of a vicious body shot. It was Weston’s first victory in six years. Haitian-born lightweight Nesley Trezile (1-1) notched his first pro win in a mild upset with a four-round majority decision over local fighter Agustin Tovar (2-1, 0 Նոկաուտով). Trezile fights out of Los Angeles. There was almost a major upset as Antonio Louis “Tswervo” Hernandez (7-19-4, 4 Նոկաուտով) gave Juan “Just Business” Barajas (11-0-2, 7 Նոկաուտով) everything he could handle in their six-round match. Hernandez landed clean shots on Barajas, who was coming off a 4-year layoff. Barajas closed the fight strongly, but it wasn’t enough as the judges scored the fight a majority draw. Illinois junior welterweight Quinn McKenna (1-0-1, 0 Նոկաուտով) won his first fight as a pro, taking a four-round unanimous decision from Clayton Hibbert (2-3, 2 Նոկաուտով). Both fighters were hurt in round three as they opened up offensively, leaving both seemingly out on their feet. McKenna, սակայն, was the fresher fighter in the fourth and final round. He had Hibbert on the run to earn his initial victory. Russian lightweight Samvel Gandilyan (5-0-1, 3 Նոկաուտով) kept his unbeaten pro record intact with a fourth-round knockout of a game Ezera Rabin.
