Joshua Kevin Anton TKO1 Kudratillo Abdukakhorov... In a strange turn of events on ProBoxTV’s show in San Bernardino, California, junior middleweight Joshua Kevin Anton (13-0, 12 KOs) of Palmdale, California, picked a surprise stoppage of former contender Kudratillo “The Punisher” Abdukakhorov (22-6, 14 KOs) of Uzbekistan. With plenty of pitched battles in his history, Abdukakhorov began clutching his head in pain at the conclusion of an uncompetitive round one and indicated he was injured and unable to fight. Referee David Solivan accepted Abdukakhorov’s requested retirement officially at 3:00 of round one, per California rules.
ADDITIONAL RESULTS
To open the night’s action, former three-time national amateur champion Jocelyn Camarillo (6-0, 1 KO) of Coachella California, made quick work of Isis Sio (1-3) of North Dakota, knocking her out at 1:18 of the opening round. The 21-year-old Camarillo trapped Sio against the ropes and unloaded an extended salvo that left her light flyweight opponent Sio out cold for several tense minutes. Sio was taken from the ring on a stretcher and is currently in a medically induced coma.
Undefeated local fan favorite Albert “Chop Chop” Gonzalez (17-0, 10 KOs) of Riverside, California, had little problem knocking out Owings Mill, Maryland’s Brandon “The Hitter” Chambers (12-5-1, 5 KOs) at 1:47 of the opening round. The 23-year-old featherweight prospect Gonzalez moved in quickly and landed a powerful right hand behind the ear that left Chambers on the mat for an extended period.
LA’s Sam Contreras (5-0, 2 KOs) knocked out overmatched Texan Cesar “El Matrix” Cantu (3-5-2, 1 KO) of Weslaco, Texas. Contreras wisely used his advantages in height and reach and varied his attack to the head and body. The normally durable Cantu had no answers to the educated attack. Referee David Solivan decided the determined but outgunned Cantu didn’t belong in the ring with a prospect at Contreras’ level at 1:09 of round two.
Nineteen year-old Robert Garcia Academy bantamweight prospect Luis Coria (5-0, 5 KOs) of Moreno Valley, California, scored an TKO stoppage of 41-fight veteran Lito Naruto Dante (21-16-4, 12 KOs) of Sierra Bullones, Bohol, Philippines. Normally a durable road warrior, Dante grew tired of absorbing the hammering fists of the young puncher Coria and informed his corner he had had enough at the conclusion of round two.
Junior middleweight Kevin “The Badass” Ventura (12-1, 8 KOs) of Omaha fought his way to a six-round unanimous decision over Riverside, California’s Aaron Watson (2-2-2, 1 KO). Watson started out well throwing powerful right hands, but Ventura came on with every passing round. The in-ring action was closer than the scores of 60-54 by all three judges.
