Regis progress will fight for the wbc world title after tyrone.
Mckenna was stopped because of a nasty cut above his eye, there’s a blood soaked final eliminator for the super lightweight belt, and it was delivering on all the pre-fight hype that mckenna had been forced into florida.
In the second round, uh was pulled out in the sixth pragrae was winning the fight, but mckenna true to form was showing plenty of heart and guts which rallied his fine with his fighting bands at ringside.
But the doctor decided that his cut was too severe and had a victory and a shot at wbc’s crown currently held by josh taylor to american pro-grace it’d be interesting to see if mr progress goes on to fight um, uh jack catterall before josh taylor anywhere elsewhere.
Moving on to london, england, where at the ovo arena at wembley, we saw european welterweight champion david avenacion, make an emphatic statement in his stunning fifth defense of his ebu belt at the ovio arena, where he beat previously unbeaten opponent, oskari metz uh as vinian got to Work and the finn had never recovered from brutal knockdown and was finally saved from himself by the referee, with just two minutes on the clock.
The champion is now 24.
41 will now await a ruling from the wbc, where he’s ranked number two over his passage to a shot at champion: errol spence jr, that’s a heavily contested division, so we’ll see that’ll happen in the co-main event, hamza shariaz, who was making statements and putting down a Marker in a new division, as he secured wbc international silver tape with a second round knockout of judge smith smith, promised to bring the heat but was brutally picked off by the unbeaten shiraz.
Now, 15-0, with 11 knockouts, a sweet left hook planted smith on the canvas in round one.
A shiraz asserted authority in the first fight at middleweight.
He was down again in the beginning of the second and failed to beat the count.
This is his trainer.
Josh burnham rightly threw in the towel elsewhere.
Royce and barney smith delivered a sparkling performance on debut against adam martinez, who was rocked on a number of occasions across the first two rounds by the accuracy of barney smith punches the 18 year old.
Former two-time european champion as an amateur show more than enough to suggest he’ll be the one to watch as he progresses to the ranks he punches clean and hard doesn’t waste shots and employs plenty of variety in his work.
Martinez was a stubborn and ideal opponent who seemed to view against his four rounds as a personal triumph referee, lee avery, scored the fight 40, 36 and royce, and barney smith is up and running elsewhere.
Sam knox defended his wbc international silver lightweight title with his ninth straight stoppage to edge closer to the goal of a perfect 10.

The elsewhere mentioned dennis mccann collected the first belt of his professional career by winning the wbo world youth banter week title after defeating charles tondo over an eight eight tough rounds.
The ibox gym trained youngster started on fire with all his usual spite and swagger and looked like he could be in for an early night, but tondo responded and started to match fire with fire.
Tomondo came back, came back into it across rounds.
Four and five tagging mccann several times and punishing and the indecision on the part of the 21 year old, the tanzania was growing in confidence after weathering the early storm and the pair engaged in a fiery shootout.
At the end of the six, when mccann attempted to regain the momentum, it can re-establish some sort of control in the seventh house tonight was put under huge assault and looked for the first time he could be on the brink and showed signs of distress the maidstone Menace started to enjoy himself in the final round and was duly declared victor by a 7973 scoreline on all three cards.

He was 1901 13 knockouts went total against philadelphia’s blair, the flare cobbs who’s now 15 101, with 10 knockouts of his own uh.
They delivered a lively boxing event which was shown live on the zone.
I might add: cobbs brought the flare walking out with a lucha libra inspired outfit and a luchador playing homage to his childhood growing up in yellowstone mexico.
The fighters were very active in the first round, as he took turns trying to establish dominance, an effective night right.
In fact, the right job from cobbs opened up a cut on top of roche’s right eye in the third round, but that did not stop raja from pursuing cobs and lance and power punches that shook gob.
They certainly did and took the fight out of him in the fifth round.
Rocha cops with a combination visibly hurt him as he retreated to avoid a continuous attack by the six rounds.
Cops had recovered as he tried to force the distance himself and used the jab to set up his shots, but russia was relentless and continued to attack, dropping cobbs to the campus in the eighth round and overwhelming him at the 44.
Second, count of the ninth winning the fight by knockout in a 10-round welterweight main event, and it was a really good fight and there’s going to be good things coming from mr roche’s camp in the near future.

92.
It was basically a clash of styles of mckinsey, uh too tricky to self-bars, which he expected.
I didn’t feel like i was losing too many rounds.
I fought someone so negative.
I didn’t feel like i looked my best, which wasn’t as exciting to the crowd i had to stick to the game plan and be patient.
I kept my distance.
I didn’t make them count.
I think he’s average said hux martin.
If we’re to fight again in a rematch i’ll, stop him not being arrogant.
My timing, just wasn’t there, i couldn’t click.
He had reasonable distance, which surprised me because i usually kept my distance.
I was fighting myself elsewhere in the second fight at the zone, live stream back to our bully melicus who’s 9-1-7 knockouts out of indio california face season veteran david lafonterra zagara, who’s 34-8, with 21 knockouts out of lima peru in a scheduled 10 round, light heavyweight fight, But established eerily dominance and proved why his power puncher might finish the fight in the second round, the 30-second mark adding another ko to his victory.
Everything feels good.
He said, and this uh went like i expected to go said, melissa, sorry about that yeah, no physio! The only thing on my mind is rematch with gabe rosado.

As new england sports center in derry, new hampshire, the 22 old 20 year old, melina who’s, now eight no two knockouts firing out of the same hotel, lowell massachusetts immortalized by irish, mickey ward patiently outboxed the outlaw ryan venable who’s now 2-11 on his way to a Six-Round split decision uh the game, the game venable, who was penalized one point for using his shoulder in the opening round, used roughhouse tactic throughout he started showboating the final round trash talking and throwing exaggerated punches from strange angles.
Molina kept his composure to earn the eighth victory without loss uh.
The one point deduction was critical because, if not for the point deduction, the fight would have ended in a draw in a co-featured event: bay, state fighters, julian black dragon, batist who’s.
Now three and two with two knockouts out of woburn massachusetts and whitney massachusetts, middleweight brian uday was two and one: no, no, no knockouts stole the show they buzzed each other in back to back second round engagements, but in back-to-back second-round engagements baptiste blasted their day with Powerful right in the third but the brazil earlday bounced right back his own attack verde picked up the pace in the fourth effectively punching his spots, uh.
But but he’s responded in the fifth snapping irday’s head back twice in an action-packed round, the two fighters went toe-to-toe in the sixth and the final round of the unofficial fight of the night.
