ProBox TV results: Pauldo gets stoppage win
Justin Pauldo TKO8 Nike Theran ... Justin Pauldo took some early thunder from Colombia’s hard-punching Nike Theran but used a pinpoint jab and searing body attack to wear down his foe after seven tough rounds in the lightweight main event at the Save Mart Center at Fresno State in Fresno, California. After a careful opening round, Theran (20-2, 14 KOs) rocked Pauldo (20-2, 10 KOs) late in round two with a powerful counter left hook to the temple, but he was unable to capitalize before the bell to end the round. A fairly even third round was followed by Pauldo beginning to establish a strong body attack and spearing jab in the middle rounds that noticeably slowed and muted the aggression of Theran for the rest of the fight. Looking fatigued and hurt to the body, Theran took a fearsome beating in round seven, especially to the ribs, as Pauldo lost all fear of his opponent’s power and turned on the jets. The sustained three-minute beating was enough to convince Theran to remain on his stool before round eight. The official verdict was a knockout at 3:00 of round seven. “I never thought it would go like this,” said Pauldo, post-fight. “I thought I would blaze him out. That may have been the problem. He caught me early, but I was in good shape, so I bounced right back and got the job done. That was good adversity for me to face early in my career. “He was a strong guy. I’ve fought harder punchers, but he was also very awkward. I saw the jab was taking the confidence away from him, so I stayed behind the jab and beat him to the punch. I want all the big names. Anyone who wants to give me a shot. I want to show the world I belong at the top.” Muhamad Yaqubov D10 Cristian Cruz... In the ten-round junior lighweight co-feature, Muhammad Yaqubov (23-1-1, 12 KOs) of Tajikistan, and Cristian “Lacandonsito” Cruz Chacon (24-7-2, 12 KOs) of Tijuana fought to a split draw. A battle between two tough southpaws, Cruz set a busy pace early, often outworking Yaqubov by leaping in with solid combinations. Early on, Yaqubov conserved energy and landed the occasional reminder of his punching power. Yaqubov began to step it up starting midway through the fight, timing Cruz and landing a series of classy left hands to the head. Cruz came back to seemingly nip round seven and then landed a strong overhand left in a good round eight. After a closely fought round nine, Yaqubov took full control in the final round with a sharp jab and a powerful uppercut whenever a tiring Cruz tried to move inside. The scores were 96-94 Yaqubov, 97-93 Cruz and 95-95. MORE RESULTS 2016 US Olympian “King” Carlos Balderas (17-2, 14 KOs) of Santa Maria, California, won a ten-round split decision over Ricardo “El Cornejo” Quiroz (13-7, 7 KOs) of Oxnard. Fighting tall behind a sharp jab, Quiroz scored with a big right uppercut in round one and established himself in the fight. Balderas got the better of the inside exchanges with his straighter punches. Both men had moments in the fight, a good action all-Mexican junior welterweight battle. Quiroz rocked Balderas late in round seven with a right. Balderas came out firing in round nine, landing several hard right hands. In the end, the judges favored Balderas’ work. The scores were 97-93 and 97-93 Balderas, overruling a 96-94 card for Quiroz. In the opening televised bout, a ProBoxTV’s Future Stars Series matchup, former 17-time national amateur champion Charlie Sheehy (12-0, 7 KOs) scored a sixth-round stoppage over rugged veteran “King D-Lo” D'Angelo Keyes (18-7, 11 KOs). Unable to find an answer to Sheehy’s lightning jabs and blinding combinations, Keyes went down for the first time from a mean left uppercut near the end of round two. Sheehy came out firing looking for the finish in round three, but Keyes bravely gutted it out until the cobwebs cleared. Interestingly, Sheehy suffered a cut over the right eye in round four from a sneaky shot inside, but despite his game attitude, Keyes went down two more times in round six from sharp right hands before Referee Cameron Frizzell waved it off at 2:29.

New champion alerts: Adelaida M. Ruiz and Isabel Rivero claim vacant titles
Adelaida M. Ruiz W10 Alexas Kubicki... On Saturday, California's Adelaida Maria “La Cobra” Ruiz (18-1-1, 8 KOs) won a “closer than the cards” unanimous decision over Canada''s Alexas “Iron Lady” Kubicki (13-3, 2 KOs) to win the vacant WBC super flyweight championship. [The title was last held by Mexico's Asley Gonzalez]. The fight took place in Fresno in Ruiz's home state. Kubicki started the fight moving in and out effectively, landing dozens of straight right hands and may have won several of the opening frames. The fight turned late in round five, when the harder-punching Ruiz sent Kubicki down from a hard combination. Ruiz took over for the next three rounds after that, battering Kubicki around the ring. Kubicki, who moved up a division for this fight, came back to make it closer in the final two frames, but the judges were not impressed. The scores were 97-92, 97-92 and 99-90, all for Ruiz. Isabel Rivero W10 Silvia Torres... Last week (November 21st), Spain's Isabel Rivero (12-3-1, 1 KO) carved her name into her nation's boxing history books, scoring a hard-fought majority decision (97–93, 96–94, 95–95) over Mexico’s Silvia “La Guerrerita” Torres (22-5-3, 7 KO) to capture the WBA atomweight title (102 pounds). Germany's Tina Rupprecht, unified all the atomweight titles and then retired, leaving the WBA belt vacant. The bout, staged in Valladolid, Spain, delivered rounds of tight, tactical action. Rivero showcased crisp distance control and sharp counterpunching, while Torres leaned on her ring savvy and heavier hands to try and turn the tide. The scorecards reflected the competitiveness of the fight: two judges saw Rivero ahead, while the third called it even, sealing the Spaniard’s win by majority decision. A pioneer of women’s boxing in Spain and already a two-time European champion, Rivero now claims the first world title of her career, becoming just the third woman in Spain’s history to secure a WBA belt.

Erik Badillo defeats ex-champ Elwin Soto
Erik Badillo W10 Elwin Soto...In an all-Mexican slugfest between light flyweight contenders, southpaw Erik Badillo Mares (19-0, 8 KOs) outlasted former WBO minimumweight champion Elwin “La Pulga” Soto (21-4-1, 13 KOs) to win an all-action ten-round unanimous decision. The bout was part of the ProBox TV show in Fresno, California. With few single punches thrown, the two world-class fighters exchanged sharp combinations nearly non-stop. Badillo took the first round; Soto came back in rounds two and three. Badillo started round four looking determined to reassert himself, banging to the head and body of Soto with authority and hurting him late in the round with a flurry against the ropes. Badillo’s superior work rate, power and conditioning began to show more as the fight wore on, as he enjoyed an ever-increasing edge to the all-action back-and-forth. Soto found a second wind in a mostly good round nine for him but was rocked onto his heels by a right hand late in the stanza. Badillo closed strong in round ten to seal the deal. The rugged pair ended the fight going toe-to-toe. The official scores were 98-92, 99-91 and 99-91.

Watch: Whittaker steamrolls Gavazi
Ben Whittaker KO1 Benjamin Gavazi... Saturday night marked the Matchroom Boxing debut of Ben Whittaker as he took on Benjamin Gavazi at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, England, live on DAZN. Whittaker was expected to win, but the question was, how would he look? "The Surgeon" delivered, dropping Gavazi once and then flatlining him to win by knockout at the 2:15 mark of the first round. It was all Whittaker (10-0-1, 7 KOs) from the outset. His hand and foot speed were too much for Gavazi (19-2, 13 KOs). The first knockdown came after Whittaker unloaded an eight-punch combination, punctuated by an overhand right to send Gavazi to the canvas. Gavazi got up, but it was a matter of when, not if, Whittaker would put him out of his misery. A left-right hook combination from Whittaker forcing Gavazi into the ropes. The German was in a world of trouble, and Whittaker knew it. The 28-year old followed with an uppercut to the body and closed with another left-right hook combination, sending Gavazi to sleep. "When you walk out pretty like that, you have to back it up. And that’s what I did," Whittaker said in his post-fight interview.

Takuma Inoue now a two-time bantamweight champ
Takuma Inoue W12 Tenshin Nasukawa... Japan's Takuma Inoue (21-2, 5 KOs) is now a two-time bantamweight title holder. On Monday, he was crowned the WBC champion by defeating his compatriot, former kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa (7-1, 2 KOs). Inoue picked up the vacant title via a unanimous decision win on a Teiken Promotions show held in Tokyo. (The title was vacated when Junto Nakatani decided to move up to junior featherweight). Inoue, a former WBA champion and brother of superstar Naoya Inoue, proved that his vast experience to be the determining factor, especially in the championship rounds. The WBC's open scoring system also played a crucial role in the development of the fight. By revealing the judges’ scorecards after rounds four and eight, the system dictated the pace for both fighters at key moments. After round four, the score of 38-38 showed that the fight was level, with Nasukawa’s speed and power punches neutralizing Inoue’s technique. Bit the reveal after round eight was that Inoue had taken a significant lead (with scores of 77-75, 78-74, and 77-76 in his favor). This information was vital, as it forced Nasukawa to seek the knockout or win the final four rounds dominantly, while giving Inoue the confidence to box intelligently and secure the victory. Nasukawa used his speed and strong jab to dominate the second, fourth, and fifth rounds. His offense caused initial concern. However, Inoue’s boxing maturity emerged in the second half of the fight. In rounds six and seven, Inoue commanded the action with intelligence and short-range boxing, landing effective flurries and handling Nasukawa’s power. The key to victory was defined in the final rounds (ten to twelve), where Inoue neutralized Nasukawa’s pressure in close quarters. At the conclusion of the dozen rounds, the judges’ final scorecards dictated the victory for Takuma Inoue: 116-112 (twice and 117-111. Nasukawa suffered his first professional boxing loss (he also was KO'd by Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition), but made it clear that he still has the potential to be a dominant figure.

ProBox has strong show set for Saturday in Fresno
On Saturday, November 29th at the Save Mart Center at Fresno State in California, ProBoxTV will present another edition of its Contender Series, broadcast live on ProBoxTV beginning at 7:00 pm ET/4:00 pm PT. In a ten-round head-on collision at lightweight, surging Justin “The Million Dollar Man” Pauldo (19-2, 9 KOs) will face hard-punching Colombian Nike Theran (20-1, 14 KOs). n the ten-round junior lightweight co-feature, Muhammad Yaqubov (23-1, 12 KOs) of Tajikistan, will go to war with Tijuana's Cristian Cruz Chacon (24-7-1, 12 KOs). Yaqubov had been scheduled to face Jessie Magdaleno in the night’s original main event, but Magdaleno pulled out with an injury. “Coming off his stellar performance against highly regarded Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov, Justin Pauldo will be looking to continue his climb to a world title shot,” said ProBoxTV's founder and CEO, Garry Jonas. “This should be a phenomenal fight and a real test to see if Justin Pauldo is that guy. If he has another performance like Rakhimov, he is the running for a title fight in the 135-lb division.” Born in Orlando, Florida, but now living in Houston and training with Ronnie Shields, the 31 year-old Pauldo is a four-time ProBoxTV veteran. He came to ProBox after having put together eleven consecutive wins since his first defeat, a split-decision to Efrain Cruz in July 2015. In his ProBoxTV debut in August 2023, Pauldo scored a ten-round unanimous decision over Eduardo Estela (then 14-2) in Plant City, Florida. He returned there in November 2023 to stop Jerry Perez (then 14-3-1) in three rounds. Pauldo suffered his second career setback on ProBoxTV air in February 2024, dropping a ten-round split decision to Miguel Madueno (30-2), but returned to ProBoxTV a year later to score an upset eighth-round knockout over former IBF 130-pound champion Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov in February of this year. Pauldo scored two knockdowns on the night, the latter of the two produced an immediate stoppage at 1:53. In his most recent ring appearance, Pauldo took a ten-round unanimous decision over Said Chino last August. “Training has been great,” said Pauldo. “I’ve gotten a lot of great work to sharpen my skills and be at my best come fight night. I know my opponent is a tough guy coming out of Colombia. He’s got quite a few fights under his belt, so I’m looking forward to facing an experienced and hungry fighter and to being back on ProBoxTV. I’m going to put on a great show for all the fans.” Theran, age 28, is a nearly nine-year professional who will be making his debut fighting in the United States, having spent the bulk of his career fighting in South America and The Dominican Republic. He has won two consecutive fights since suffering his only career setback in October 2023, a close twelve-round unanimous decision to Italy's Michael Magnesi (then 22-1) in the 130-pound division. “Training camp has been going great; I’m very motivated,” said Theran. “Pauldo is a very good fighter and one of the best on ProBoxTV because he likes to fight. God gave me this opportunity and I’m well-prepared physically and mentally to win. I’m very happy for the opportunity and being in this important fight only gives me more motivation.” As for the co-featrue, Jonas had this to say: “We’re not happy that Jessie Magdaleno fell out, but we’re fortunate enough to get a great replacement in Cristian Cruz Chacon, who recently had a huge win over Jeremy Hill on ProBoxTV. Honestly, this could be a tougher test for Yaqubov.” The southpaw Yaqubov, age 30, started boxing at the age of 10 and turned professional in late 2015. In his decade-long career, Yaqubov has victories over Emanuel López (29-9-1), Abraham Montoya (18-1-1) and former two-time world champ Tomás Rojas. In March 2022, Yaqubov suffered his only career loss via a twelve-round unanimous decision in a WBC title eliminator to current WBC champion O'Shaquie Foster. He has since rebounded with five consecutive victories, including quality wins over Pablo Vicente (23 1) in a ten rounder, Zafar Parpiev (13-2) and his most recent fight, a ten-round majority decision over William Foster III in August of this year. The win was Yaqubov’s first under new head trainer Manny Robles. Holding one of the most deceiving records in boxing, the 28 year-old Cruz Chacon turned professional in 2014 and lost five of his first seven fights before turning things around and going 22-2-1 since then. Along the way, he has scored notable victories over Diego Ortiz Aleman (12-1-1), Jesus Acosta Ayala (15-1-1), a first-round stoppage of Pablo Robles (15-3), an eighth-round stoppage of Rafael Rosas Ramirez (19-3-2), a third-round stoppage of former world title challenger David Carmona, and his most recent ring appearance, an impressive split decision victory over a streaking Jeremy Hill (22-3-1) in September of this year on ProBoxTV. ADDITIONAL BROADCAST BOUTS Light flyweight Erik Badillo Mares (18-0, 8 KOs), a southpaw, will battle former WBO champion Elwin “La Pulga” Soto (21-3-1, 13 KOs) in a ten-round All-Mexican clash of contenders.

A longtime contender, the 37 year-old Ruiz’s aggressive style, strength, and punching power make her a dangerous foe for any of the world’s female super flyweights. A victory over Kubicki will give her an opportunity to avenge her only career loss, a thrilling ten-round split decision to Ginny Fuchs for the WBC interim title in August 2024. The WBC has ordered the winner of Ruiz vs. Kubicki to fight Interim champ Fuchs, who has been out of action for 14 months due to injuries suffered in the fight with Ruiz and also promotional issues. Kubicki will be in just her second fight on U.S. soil. In her most recent fight, the 22 year-old lost by seventh-round TKO in a brave stand against undisputed flyweight champion Gabriela Fundora in September.

Golovkin is now president of World Boxing
Former world middleweight champion and 2004 Olympic silver medallist Gennadiy "Triple G" Golovkin, has been named the new president of World Boxing at its Congress 2025 in Rome. He will serve an initial three-year term and succeeds Boris van der Vorst, who did not seek re-election following the completion of his term. Golovkin was the only candidate for the role on the final ballot paper and was named president by acclamation at the Congress. Other candidates had put themselves forward in October 2025 to contest the Presidential election, however Golovkin was the only person approved to stand by an independent vetting panel, which assessed the backgrounds of all the candidates. The panel was made up of three independent, external experts and supported by the leading independent provider of sport-specific arbitration and mediation services, Sport Resolutions, and was designed to ensure World Boxing adheres to the highest standards of governance by providing independent, third party checking and oversight of Congress and the election process. Golovkin, said: “It is a privilege to be elected as the new president of World Boxing. But this is just the beginning. Starting today, athletes will be at the heart of every decision we make.

Saturday: Ruiz vs. Kubicki for WBC 115-pound title
On Saturday's ProBox TV broadcast from Fresno, California will be a battle for the vacant WBC women's 115-pound championship between California's Adelaida Maria “La Cobra” Ruiz (17-1-1, 8 KOs) and Canada's Alexas “Iron Lady” Kubicki (13-2, 2 KOs). A longtime contender, the 37 year-old Ruiz’s aggressive style, strength, and punching power make her a dangerous foe for any of the world’s female super flyweights. A victory over Kubicki will give her an opportunity to avenge her only career loss, which occurred in a thrilling ten-round split decision to Ginny Fuchs for the WBC interim title in August 2024. The WBC has ordered the winner of Ruiz vs. Kubicki to fight interim champ Fuchs, who has been out of action for 14 months due to injuries suffered in the fight with Ruiz and also promotional issues. Kubicki, from Edmonton, will be in just her second fight on U.S. soil. In her most recent fight, the 22 year-old lost by seventh-round TKO in a brave stand against undisputed flyweight champion Gabriela Fundora in September. Kubicki’s technical skills are predicted to test Ruiz’s aggression in what promises to be a thrilling clash of styles.

Boxingtalk salutes CES' Pat Sullivan
Pat Sullivan has worked for many years as Director of Operations for Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES), New England's leading boxing and MMA promoter. Though he has never thrown a punch in the ring, Sullivan is a champion of life based on how he has responded to tragedy. He established the Joanne Sullivan Memorial Fund following his mother’s passing in 2008, and he calculates that he has raised more than $950,000 for the Dana-Farber Cancer Research Institute in Boston. That total was current as of November 1st. But later that night, during a fight card at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, Burchfield along with CES’ righthand men Michael Parente and Steve Maze, presented a jumbo-sized $10,000 check to Sullivan in support of his efforts. In addition, Burchfield supported a Pink Out as part of the night’s festivities. Every fighter wore pink gloves; CES staffers wore pink dress shirts and ties; the round card girls wore pink crop tops; Sullivan wore a pink shirt, pink blazer and pink shoes; QR codes were posted in the fight programs and around the arena inviting boxing fans to donate to the Joanne Sullivan Memorial Fund; and a table was set up in the upper concourse to encourage donations, with pink T-shirts being given to everyone contributing. Burchfield said he considers Sullivan his “fourth son” and encouraged any generous donors out there to get Sullivan over the $1 millio mark. Anyone looking to support the cause can make a donation at https://joannesullivanmemorialfund.org/. “We definitely want to go over the $1 million mark before this year is over,” said Burchfield, who planned to have another Pink Out event at his mixed martial arts event one week later at the Historic Park Theater in Cranston, Rhode Island. Alongside support from his boxing boss, Sullivan has raised nearly a million dollars through an annual golf event at Framingham Country Club. The three largest sponsorships are Dinner, Hole and Golf Cart, at $5,000, $1,500 and $1,000, respectively. “Pat, I’m so proud of you,” said Burchfield after presenting the check. “Your mom and dad are smiling right now in Heaven. Thank you so much for everything that you do.” Maze also encouraged boxing fans in attendance to donate. “There are QR codes all over the place,” he said. “Please, please help. It’s a fight that everybody’s in, whether it was your mother, your father, your grandmother, your grandfather, your husband, your wife. Everybody’s affected by cancer. Every dollar helps.” As he accepted the generous donation, Sullivan thanked Burchfield, the CES team, Mohegan Sun for their combined efforts. He also talked about his mother. “In 2008 my mother passed away from breast cancer. I was only 23 years old,” said Sullivan. “And I’m not ashamed to say, I’m very proud to say, I am, 17 years later, I was and still am the biggest mama’s boy that anyone’s going to meet.” He added, “My mother was my best friend, my rock, the person I looked up to. She’s still my hero to this day , so when she passed away it totally crushed me. But we got such great care at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts, that we went in and met with the head of oncology, and said, ‘What can we do to support what you’re doing here?’ ” Sullivan and his family met with Dr. Sara Tolaney, an oncologist at the time who is now the head of Dana-Farber’s oncology department and an associate professor of nedicine at Harvard. “At the time, she said she was on to some pretty important research,” said Sullivan, “And we told her we’re going to raise as much money as we can, but the money has to go to the research [not to stock the shelves, or pay administrative fees, etc.], and I’m proud to say that in the 15 years of this research Dr. Tolaney has set the standard of care, not just in Boston, not just in Massachusetts, not just in the United States, but worldwide. People are being affected by the standard of care because of the research that we are funding.” Dr. Tolaney praised Pat's efforts, saying "Pat is truly extraordinary. He has been hosting an annual golf tournament in memory of his mother, Joanna Sullivan, and pours his heart and soul into every detail of the event. The funds he raises each year provide critical support for our breast oncology research, enabling us to pursue more effective and better-tolerated therapies for patients. His commitment has a tangible and meaningful impact on the progress we’re able to make." Sullivan’s said he’s proud he’s been able to support such change and “I know that my mother’s name might be on the check when it gets donated, but for everybody here that’s thinking of somebody, praying for somebody, remembering somebody, I want you to know..it’s also written and signed by hundreds of heavy hearts who are out here tonight in support of somebody.”

Hennessy steps up vs. Bytyqi this weekend
Francesca Hennessy (6-0), one of the most promising young fighters in British boxing, will see actionon Saturday, November 29, when, at bantamweight, she faces blown-up former atomweight champion Fabiana Bytyqi (22-2-2) at the Valliant Live Arena in Derby, United Kingdom. Hennessy enters motivated not only by fighting at home but by the chance to establish herself as a serious contender within the division. The British fighter has shown rapid improvement with each appearance, combining tempo, controlled aggression, and a tactical approach that has made her a standout prospect. Bytyqi represents a major challenge: she brings the experience of having been a WBC champion, along with the technical solidity that has long defined her style. Accustomed to performing on big stages, the Czech fighter will aim to spoil the evening for the hometown favorite and prove she remains relevant at the highest level. The fight carries clear implications: for Hennessy, it would be the first title of her professional career and an immediate rise in the rankings; for Bytyqi, a chance to relaunch herself in a higher division, using her ring IQ and experience to overcome a rising opponent.

Benavidez KOs Yarde
David Benavidez TKO7 Anthony Yarde. ... In the main event of the big show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, David Benavidez successfully defended his title against Britain's Anthony Yarde. After a little bit of a slow start, Benavidez (31-0, 25 KOs) turned it on with his fast hands to bloody and swell Yarde's face up, which resulted in Benavidez dropping the Brit and stopping him at the 1:59 mark of the seventh round to retain the WBC and interim WBA light heavyweight titles. In the third round, Benavidez uncorked a series of left hands that let Yarde know trouble was brewing. He continued to unload those violent combinations until he completely broke Yarde and closed the show in the seventh round. “I got some news for you guys,” a victorious Benavidez said during his post-fight interview on the DAZN pay-per-view broadcast “May 2 — me versus [WBA/WBO 200-pound champion Gilberto] ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez. I’m going up to cruiserweight to challenge for his titles, so I’m excited for that.”

Devin Haney is an undefeated three-division champion
Devin Haney W12 Brian Norman... In Saudi Arabia, Devin Haney became a three-division champion and experienced a moment of redemption that precious few get to experience. He knocked down Brian Norman, Jr. in round two and cruised to a unanimous decision victory to become the WBO welterweight champion. The judges scored it 114-113, 117-110 and 116-111, all in Haney's favor. The win marked redemption for the 27-year-old Haney (32-0 with 1 no contest, 15 KOs), who used the quality victory to propel himself from his rather lackluster points win over Jose Ramirez in May. It also erased some of the stained memory of being knocked down three times in an April 2024 loss to Ryan Garcia that was later turned into a no-contest after the latter tested positive for a banned substance. "In 2024, I lost everything, everything came crashing on me," a victorious Haney said live on DAZN Pay-Per-View. "In 2025, I came to get it back, in 2026 I'm coming for everything."

Bam Rodriguez collects third belt at 115
Jesse Rodriguez KO10 Fernando Martinez... Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez was boxing a shutout against Fernando Martinez, winning every single round, until he exploded with a left hook that caught Martinez across the jaw for a tenth-round knockout Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, live on DAZN pay-per-view. By winning the unification bout, Ruiz grabbed Martinez’ WBA super flyweight world championship, adding it to the WBC and WBO titles he entered the ring with. The dynamic 25-year-old Rodriguez (23-0, 16 KOs) is now one title away from reaching undisputed glory at 115 pounds (the IBF version is held by Willibaldo García of Mexico). With nimble footwork, clever angles, piercing punch selection and placement in an all-around package of sweet science brilliance, Rodriguez showed he is levels above Martinez in a boxing masterclass. And it didn't take long for Rodriguez to know he's the superior fighter. Rodriguez told DAZN’s Claudia Trejos that he knew he had Martinez’ number “after round one.” As triumphant as the victory was, it was also bittersweet as ‘Bam’ missed the birth of his son this week, while preparing for the fight in Riyadh. “Honestly, I could cry right now because that’s the birth of my son and I missed it to be here,” Rodriguez told Trejos after his win. “It’s hard for me but it paid off. [My son will] understand when he’s a little bit older. I did it not only for him but for my daughter as well. I love my family a lot. This one’s for them.”

Skye Nicholson and Yuliahn Luna agree to fight
On December 13th at the Stockton Arena in Stockton, California, Skye Nicolson (14-1, 3 KO) and Yuliahn “Cobrita” Luna Ávila (28-4-1, 4 KO) will be competing for the WBC interim super bantamweight title. A former champion, Nicolson (14-1, 3 KO) returns to the ring on a two-fight win streak since losing the WBC featherweight title to Tiara Brown. The Australian, known for her constant movement, sharp precision, and a tactical style that frustrates more aggressive opponents, enters with the mission of reestablishing herself as an elite contender. Her back-foot boxing, angle control, and ability to score without taking unnecessary risks remain her key weapons. Mexico’s Luna is a seasoned fighter with championship experience and a record that reflects her depth. The former WBC bantamweight titleholder is methodical, strong, patient, and skilled at applying pressure without burning out early. She specializes in body work, a crucial factor when facing a mobile boxer like Nicolson. The matchup is a clear clash of styles: Nicolson’s technique and volume against Luna’s strength, durability, and experience. For Nicolson, it’s a chance to prove she remains championship material; for Luna, an opportunity to disrupt plans and reenter the world-title picture.

Veron and Erdenebat triumph in Florida
Francisco Daniel Veron W10 Roiman Villa... Fighting in his adopted hometown of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Francisco Daniel Veron (17-1-1, 10 KOs) served as the matador to the hard-punching Venezuelan, Roiman Villa (27-4, 25 KOs). The Argentine-born Veron dropped Villa in round nine en route to a ten-round shutout on ProBoxTV’s Friday Night Fights at the War Memorial Auditorium. Showing clear signs of being ready for the division’s upper echelon, Veron frustrated and dominated Villa in every round with non-stop punching and moving. Veron set a blistering pace from the outset of the fight and even fought through a badly bleeding lip from some temporary Villa effectiveness in round four to control the iron-fisted South American the rest of the way with a busy jab and debilitating punches with both hands. The scores were an academic 100-89. Tsendy Erdenebat W10 Abraham Montoya... Mongolian junior lightweight Tsendy Erdenebat (13-0, 6 KOs), now fighting out of Paramount, California, won an entertaining ten-round unanimous decision over ironman Abraham Montoya (23-6-1, 14 KOs) of Baja California, Mexico. A two-time Mongolian Olympian, Erdenebat came out firing in the opening two rounds, landing several big punches seemingly at will on the awkward, but impervious-to-pain Montoya. A proven veteran with several noteworthy victories, Montoya turned up the pressure starting in the third round, landing strong lefts and rights to the head and body of a puzzled Erdenebat. What followed was an entertaining battle between Erdenebat, the faster, sharper puncher, loading up on highlight-reel haymakers to the chin of the relentless Montoya, while Montoya scored with many of his own clubbing shots, and never let up on the nonstop pressure. Showing his conditioning, Erdenebat turned up the volume in round ten and was finally able to back Montoya up. Fighting like your drunk uncle playing video boxing at Christmas, Montoya kept the fight close and entertaining, while Erdenebat showed world-class mettle in making the adjustments to pull out a tough fight. The scores were 96-94 and 99-91 (twice). Both men surely gained fans in this fun affair.   UNDERCARD Cleveland light heavyweight Dante Benjamin (13-0-1, 9 KOs) won a carefully fought eight-round unanimous decision over Alabama’s Money Powell IV (13-3, 8 KOs). With both fighters having strong amateur pedigrees, the two skilled technicians fought a tactical battle that made the rounds tough to score. In the end, Benjamin occasionally landing eye-catching right hands made the difference. The scores were 77-75 (twice) and 79-73. In a ProBoxTV Future Stars Series featherweight fight, Cheverly, Maryland’s “The Franchise” Francois Scarboro Jr (12-0, 9 KOs) scored an explosive one-punch, first-round knockout over Las Piedras, Puerto Rico slugger Onyx “Gallito” Sanchez (8-1-1, 8 KOs). The taller Sanchez landed an uppercut early but went down hard from Scarboro Jr’s first big punch, an overhand right to the temple against the ropes. Sanchez somehow was able to rise after looking completely knocked out on the way down, but Referee Tyrone Parker Jr. judged him unable to continue at the 2:00 mark of the opening round “I feel great,” said a happy Scarboro Jr, post-fight. “The game plan was to come out and box, unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to do that. I read a lot of comments of people talking trash and saying my athletic ability gets me over sometimes, so I wanted to prove I could box all eight rounds. But I guess we’re never going to see that because we’re going to 10 rounds next. The best is yet to come. I’d fight every month if I could.” In the broadcast’s opening bout, Hawaiian junior middleweight KJ “K9” Waialae (3-0, 2 KOs) outclassed Rashad Bowens (1-2, 1 KO) of Virginia Beach, battering him mercilessly to the head and, especially, the body. Waialae outlanded the brave but outgunned Bowens 23-5 to the body, which eventually convinced Referee Samuel Burgos to wave it off for a TKO victory at 2:02 of round three.

Garcia says he's got a 2026 title shot vs. Barrios
Ryan Garcia has taken to social media to state that he will be challenging Mario Barrios for the WBA welterweight title on February 21, 2026. "Ima make you believe," tweeted Garcia, whose last two fights were a 2025 loss to Rolly Romero for the WBA version of the welterweight title, and a 2024 no decision vs. Devin Haney in which Garcia tested positive for ostarine, a banned performance-enhancing substance. Haney-Garcia was supposed to be a junior welterweight title challenge for Garcia, but, in addition to testing positive for ostarine, he failed to make the 140-pound weight limit.

Saturday: Bam Rodriguez shoots for belt #3 at super flyweight
Fernando “Pumita” Martínez and Jesse “Bam” Rodríguez (pictured) are set to square off this Saturday at the ABN Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in a high-stakes unification bout for the WBA, WBO and WBC super flyweight titles. Martínez, the Argentine pressure fighter who currently holds the WBA crown, will put his two belts on the line against the reigning WBC and WBO champion. (Willibaldo Garcia Perez holds the IBF title). Martinez, a 34 year-old Argentine captured his titles in 2024 with a breakthrough win over Kazuto Ioka on Japanese soil, and reaffirmed his reign by winning a rematch this past May. Known for his relentless aggression and willingness to trade, Martínez has carved out his path with grit, volume and an iron will. Across the ring stands the two-division champ Rodríguez, one of the sport’s brightest stars who has run through elite names with startling dominance. The unbeaten Texan already owns victories over Pedro Guevara, Juan Francisco Estrada, Sunny Edwards, Carlos Cuadras and Srisaket Sor Rungvisai—a résumé that would be impressive for any veteran, let alone a fighter only 25 years old. The fighters made their official arrivals in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. On Friday they’ll step on the scale, needing to hit the 115-pound limit before settling things inside the ropes. Martínez enters at 18–0 with 9 knockouts, while Rodríguez stands at 22–0 with 15 knockouts.

Martínez enters at 18–0 with 9 knockouts, while Rodríguez stands at 22–0 with 15 knockouts.

A few words with Erislandy Lara
WBA middleweight champion Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara highlighted a Las Vegas media workout on Thursday ahead of his world title unification clash against IBF and WBO middleweight champion Janibek Alimkhanuly that serves as the co-feature of a jam-packed PBC pay-per-view event available on Prime Video on Saturday, December 6th from Frost Bank Center in San Antonio. Here is what Lara had to say Thursday from Radiant Brand Complex in Las Vegas: “Let people keep thinking that Janibek is the most dangerous guy in the division. We’ll see on December 6th if that holds. “This is the fight that will solidify my legacy. I know what I need to do and I’m confident in my ability to come out victorious. Everyone watching is going to see the best possible version of myself. Training is going great and I’m ready to go. “Fans are going to see a Lara that’s going in there to throw punches to hurt Janibek. I’m coming to hurt my opponent. If I get the opportunity, I’m gonna end the night early. If it goes the distance, you’ll see me win a beautiful fight. “This fight means everything to me. It’s a unification fight, so if I win this fight I’ll show everyone that I’m the best fighter at 160 pounds.”

WBA to fill atomweight vacancy today
With unified world atomweight champion Tina Rupprecht announcing her retirement last month, Spain’s Isabel Rivero (11-3-1, 1 KO) will square off against Mexico’s Silvia “La Guerrerita” Torres (22-4-3, 7 KOs) for the WBA 102-pound title in Valladolid, Spain. The bout will mark the first time a women’s world championship at this weight class will be contested on Spanish soil. Rivero heads into the matchup fresh off a unanimous decision win over Johana Zuñiga, a fight in which she showcased sharp distance management and solid command of the tempo. Prior to that, she went the distance with Germany’s Sarah Bormann—currently a reigning 105-pound champion—and despite dropping a split decision, Rivero earned respect for her poise and competitiveness. That international experience now serves as a confidence booster as she walks into another world title opportunity, this time at home. Torres, meanwhile, is coming off a loss. However, in 2019, she fought Evelyn Bermudez to a draw with a 108-pound title at stake. PRIOR BOXINGTALK COVERAGE OCT. 16, 2025: The WBC reports that undisputed four-belt atomweight world champion Tina Rupprecht of Germany has announced her retirement from boxing due to personal reasons. If the report is correct, Rupprecht (pictured) walks away in her prime, at age 33 with a 15-1-1 record and world titles in two weight classes. She last fought in April, a win over Sumire Yamanaka. Boxingtalk salutes Tina Rupprecht and wishes her a healthy and rewarding retirement. Meanwhile, the WBC was very quick to e-mail its women's 102-pound championship to Camila Zamorano (12-0), a seventeen year old. Zamorano won the interim title in June after defeating Japanese fighter Mika Iwakawa. APRIL 6, 2025.. Germany's Tina Rupprecht was crowned unified atomweight champion in her home country. The 32 year-old Rupprecht handed previously undefeated Sumire Yamanaka of Japan her first loss. Rupprecht's triumph came via decision after an exciting fight at the MBS Arena in Potsdam in front of 2,500 spectators. Rupprecht, who is barely five feet tall and is nicknamed “Tiny Tina,” was quick on her feet and the more active boxer overall. Her Japanese opponent launched a few counterattacks but in the end, Rupprecht prevailed thanks to her greater variability. Rupprecht entered the fight as WBO, WBA, and WBC champion, while Yamanaka came in with IBF recognition.
