Uh from the weekend, a result coming out of the paramount theater in huntington usa in california, a sold out paramount was draped in ukrainian flags from the rafters to ringside as a prideful ole ukraine, pitbull duvan now 14-0, with five knockouts made his first defense of his Napa super bantamweight title against gritty, belgian bruiser, jaram eloyan, an absolutely grueling 10-round main event, duvan garnered the energy of his throngs of ukraine supporters starting fast and strong, dictating the action.
His impressive work rate continued through the first three rounds when a clash of heads caused a cut above his left route.
The fourth round saw the fight turn into a grueling bloody battle of wills.
Duhan’S work rate continued to impress, but aloyan was finding home for his left hook in the sixth round alloying buzzed dufon, with a hard left, madufan returned fire with eight punch combination, aloyan now, seven and three with six knockouts of his own, came on strong in the Back half of the battle, but it proved to be too little too late as duvan.
Maintaining an extraordinary work rate defended his title and took home.
A split decision by scores of 96.
94 for dupont, 97-93 for illion and 97-93 for dupont, sounds like a pretty good fight to watch.

After nearly three years out of the ring caused by covet and tommy john’s cernitry to his elbow due to a torn acl, his opponent was james, jimmy quiet, storm williams, who’s now, 1872, with six knockouts for the vacant.
North american super welterweight title williams, fresh off his upset over former world champ yuri foreman, controlled the pace early, forcing james to fight off his back foot in the second round that james counter right impressed the crowd enough, though williams continued to press the action.
James appeared to be shaking off the ring rust while working off the back foot and began to find his timing made through the fourth round.
James landed perfect a picture-perfect counter right over a lingering job williams.
Blasting williams into the ropes williams was hurt and james unleashed in the corner, throwing power punches with blazing speed and accuracy in an impressive onslaught.
The barrage of punches forced a referee to stop the fight.
As a wobbling williams tried to stay upright on very shaky legs with the tko victory, james was crowned the new north american champion.
