| LERATO DLAMINI SHOCKS EX-CHAMP SIMPIWE VETYEKA
Youth beats experience in featherweight tournament
| | Lerato Dlamini W10 Simpiwe Vetyeka... Former world featherweight champion Simpiwe Vetyeka was shocked by unheralded Lerato Dlamini, who won by majority decision. Few gave Dlamini (10-1) much chance against the vastly more experienced Vetkea (29-4). However, the younger Dlamini produced a brave, bustling performance against a man who had clearly lost his edge. Vetyeka’s 18 months of inactivity showed as he was repeatedly beaten to the punch. In his prime, he was a devilishly hard man to beat, but Dlamini showed him little respect as he advanced on him and unloaded at will. There were few highlights, but ultimately Dlamini’s better work rate served him well and he was announced the winner by majority decision: 97-93, 95-94 and 95-95.
Azinga Fuzile TKO3 Tshifhiwa Munyai ... On the same South African card, featherweight Azinga Fuzile (9-0) destroyed Tshifhiwa Munyai (28-5-1) in the third round at Emperors Palace. Fuzile will face Lerato Dlamini next. No one quite knew how the South African featherweight champion would fare against experienced Tshifhiwa Munyai, but minutes into the first round it was glaringly obvious as he began throwing punches with bad intentions. source for all results: rodney berman's golden gloves

Andreas Valavanis TKO2 Vladimer Janezashvili... In Cairo, welterweight Andreas “King Cheetah” Valavanis had a somewhat disappointing, albeit victorious, evening. It was no fault of his own, and he put on a flawless performance. The 25 year-old Valavanis (10-0) was superior to Georgian opponent Vladimer Janezashvili, who was hurt by body shots in the second round. Janezashvili (12-6-1) claimed a shoulder injury, and was saved by his corner when the towel was thrown in and referee Eddie Marshall waved it off. source for both results: wbf

| THIS TIME, MURATA LEAVES NO DOUBT AGAINST N'DAM
By Scott Shaffer
| Ryoto Murata TKO6 Hassam N'dam... In Tokyo, 2012 Olympic gold medal winner Ryoto Murata gained revenge over Hassan N'dam, winning a middleweight rematch when N'Dam's corner stopped the bout after six one-sided rounds. N'dam was credited with winning their first encounter earlier this year, but that was discounted by the horrible judging that robbed Murata. With the win, Murata improves to 13-1 and captures the WBA's secondary middleweight title (the true world middleweight champion, Gennady Golovkin, holds the WBA super championship). N'Dam heads back to France with a record of 36-3. source: espn

By Scott Shaffer
| Murat Gassiev KO3 Krzysztof Wlodarczyk ... In Newark, New Jersey, IBF champion Murat Gassiev punched his ticket to the semi-finals of the World Boxing Super Series semi-finals by defeating former two-time title holder Krzysztof Wlodarczyk by knockout in the third round. An uppercut / body shot combination put Wlodarczyk down for the count. Gassiev is now 25-0. He should also hold the WBA title as he defeated Denis Lebedev when Lebedev held the title but the WBA corruptly continued to recognize Lebedev. The 36 year-old Wlodarczyk is now 53-4-1. Gassiev will next face Cuba's Yunier Dorticos, who holds the WBA's secondary title, while the other cruiserweight semi-final will feature WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk vs. WBC champion Mairis Briedis.

By G. Leon
| Alberto Machado TKO8 Jezreel Corrales: Puerto Rico has a ne wworld title holder as Albert Machado (19-0 with 16 KOs) captured the vacant WBA 130-pound title in Vernona, New York on Saturday.

In another hotly contested round, both fighters landed straight left hands, but Machado's did more damage as Corrales went to the canvas face first. He beat the count, but the referee stopped the fight. Official time of stoppage was 2:18. Source: HBO

| ESPN RESULTS FROM FRIDAY: GABE ROSADO WARS ON
By Scott Shaffer
| Gabriel Rosado TKO6 Glen Tapia ... On Friday in Las Vegas, Gabriel Rosado of Phialdephia snapped a two-fight losing streak and sent New Jersey's Glen Tapia to a fourth straight loss. Rosado (24-11) stopped Tapia (23-5) in round six of their middleweight contest. Tapia, who has absorbed a lot of punishment in his career, developed a hematoma (swelling) on his forehead, and Rosado began targeting it. Tapia was floored in round six, and when he got hit a few more times after getting up, the referee wisely stopped it. Roasado will continue to wage war, while Tapia may want to consider another line of work after the consistent beatings he's been taking.

| JEZREEL CORRALES LOSES WBA TITLE ON THE SCALES
| According to the WBA, Jezreel Corrales has been stripped of the WBA junior lightweight super championship because he failed to make the division's weight limit of 130 pounds. Corrales (22-1, 8 KOs) is facing Puerto Rico's Alberto Machado (18-0, 15 KOs) at the Turning Stone Casino in Verona, New York tonight. But at yesterday's weigh-in, the Panamanian Corrales came in heavy at 133.25 pounds, forfeiting the title. The WBA has a confusing and often corrupt system of awarding multiple titles in the same weight class. Corrales was the super champion on the strength of two wins over Takashi Uchiyama in 2016, but the WBA's website says if Machado wins, he would become only the regular WBA champion. The WBA's regular championship at 130 pounds has been vacant since Jason Sosa was stripped for trying to unify against WBO champion Vasyl Lomachenko. Corrales vs. Machado will be shown on HBO's Boxing After Dark. --Scott Shaffer
