Anderson connected with a right uppercut followed by a brief right to the jaw to send Woodley down. After he got back up, referee Samuel Burgos waved it off. The time of the stoppage was at 1:33 of the second. Woodley’s record drops to 0-3. It was an oddity of a fight, involving two former MMA guys, each of whom were past victims of Jake Paul.
The short punches Silva threw were impressive. That’s to not say he would compete with any of the top-tier cruiserweights. But against this level of an opponent, Silva can thrive.
Jahmal Harvey stayed unbeaten with a six-round unanimous decision win over Kevin Cervantes in super featherweight motion in the primary fight of the fundamental card. The scores were 60-53, 60-53, and 60-53. Harvey dropped Cervantes in round one with a giant shot.
Cherneka Johnson was victorious, holding onto her undisputed female bantamweight championship with a large 10-round unanimous decision over Canadian challenger Amanda Galle.
The scores were 99-91, 98-92, 97-93. It was a blood bath with Galle bleeding from a nasty cut over her left eye through a lot of the fight. Galle landed cleaner, harder shots, but Johnson’s volume punching can have impressed the judges.
Johnson connected on 135 of 513 punches for a 26% connect rate. Galle landed 124 of 516 for twenty-four%.
Caroline Dubois retained her female WBC lightweight title with a lopsided 10-round unanimous decision over Camilla Panatta. The scores were 99-90, 99-90, and 99-90. Despite the wide scores, it wasn’t a straightforward fight for Dubois. She was hit continuously by Panatta. Most of the rounds were hard to attain since the Italian challenger was pressing the fight, and landing some good shots.
Dubois dropped Panatta with a right hook to the top within the sixth round. Panatta was throwing a right uppercut and never saw Caroline’s shot coming. The difference within the fight was the hand speed of the southpaw Dubois, as she was quite a bit faster.
Power-wise, there wasn’t much to separate them. Neither of them was a giant puncher.
Joshua enters off a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois and hasn’t boxed since elbow surgery. Paul has never shared a hoop with a legitimate heavyweight able to jabbing, stepping, and shutting distance without panicking. Those two facts are the one serious questions in an evening built mostly for spectacle.
Yokasta Valle edged Yadira Bustillos on a majority nod at strawweight, doing what she all the time does – turn a fight into jittery volume so judges reward motion as a substitute of unpolluted boxing. It keeps her belts secure, but she never answers anything about separation or real spite.
Avious Griffin and Justin Cardona felt like pub debt territory. Griffin clipped him late in the primary and Cardona ended up gazing the roof with five seconds left. The ref jumping in was the one stat that mattered.
Keno Marley opened with a straightforward points win over Diarra Davis Jr at cruiser. No chaos, no headlines, just wages collected.
