Wins for Stephan Shaw, Mikkel Lespierre in NYC

Stephan Shaw KO3 Gregory Corbin... As part of the Broadway Boxing show in New York City, 6-foot-4, 27-year-old heavyweight Stephan "Big Shot" Shaw, 246.8 lbs. of St. Louis lived up to his nickname by dropping Gregory "Bad News" Corbin, 274.4 lbs. of Dallas near the end of round one with a powerful jab-straight right combination to the temple. Following a barrage of shots to open the second, Shaw pumped a stiff jab to set up his power shots. In the third, a straight right downstairs followed by a left hook to the head stunned Corbin and another cracking right hand to the temple had him stumbling into the ropes, prompting the referee to stop the contest. Shaw upped his record to 13-0 with 10 KOs), while Corbin's resume dipped to 15-3 with 9 KOs. As an amateur, Shaw won the USA Nationals and National PAL tournament in 2013.
 
Mikkel LesPierre W8 Roody Pierre Paul...Fighting for the first time since challenging then-WBO junior welterweight champion Maurice Hooker in March, Brooklyn, NY's Mikkel "Slikk Mikk" LesPierre, 141.6 lbs., rebounded with an eight-round unanimous decision victory against Roody Pierre "Rude Boy" Paul, 141.2 lbs., from Quebec. Standing toe-to-toe for much of the contest, LesPierre used his shoulder roll defense to evade fellow southpaw Paul's offense and land well-placed counter shots. Paul sporadically landed a few punches cleanly, but LesPierre's accurate uppercuts and consistent body attack wore him down. Scorecards read 80-72, and 79-73 (twice), all for LesPierre who is now 22-1-1 with 10 KOs. Paul left the ring at 16-6-2 with 6 KOs. Born in Trinidad and Tobago, LesPierre moved to the US at age six and was raised in the East Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY.

Born in Vieques, Puerto Rico, now living in New Jersey, 21 year-old lightweight southpaw Victor "El Turu" Padilla, 136 lbs., outfought a very game Fredric Bowen, 134.8 lbs., of Jackson, TN, over five frames. Padilla began by applying pressure and trading shots with Bowen. Two right hooks to the temple wobbled Bowen near the end of the first. For the majority of the remaining rounds, it was Bowen pressing forward, though to his own detriment, as he ate a lot of leather. Padilla spent this time focusing on his counter attack. In the fourth, Padilla's hooks to the body appeared to sap Bowen's energy. Padilla continued to target the midsection in round five then, with under a minute left, he pawed his jab and followed up with a big left hook that sent Bowen to the canvas and his mouthpiece flying. Bowen rose to his feet, but was met with a follow-up barrage until the referee jumped into save him from further punishment. The stoppage came at the 2:47 mark of round five. Padilla is now 7-0 (6 KOs), while Bowen, 6-4-1 (3 KOs), was stopped for the first time in over a decade.
