Dragon Fire Boxing promoter Tony Tolj is expecting fireworks when the iconic Thunderdome series returns to Metro City Arena this Friday, August 28, with Thunderdome 55 shaping up as one of the strongest cards of the year.

The event marks the 55th edition of Thunderdome and the third instalment of the series on Dragon Fire Boxing’s 2026 schedule, bringing together an explosive mix of undefeated fighters, rising prospects, seasoned veterans and hungry debutants.

Headlining the card is undefeated Irishman and new Dragon Fire Boxing signing Owen “Bomber” Corrigan (6-0), who steps up to Cruiserweight for the first time to face highly regarded Fijian Paulo Ratumaikoro.

Ratumaikoro is the type of opponent who welcomes a challenge and has built a reputation for taking on anyone willing to share the ring with him. The Fijian has already faced a number of respected opponents, including undefeated prospect Omar El-Abdallah, Kirra Ruston, Donald Jones and Benjamin Hussein.

For Corrigan, the fight represents another major step forward.

“Owen has gone through more than a dozen opponents who have committed and then pulled out,” Tolj said.

“He's got the right mentality. He basically said, ‘Just put me in that ring and I'll fight anyone.’

“He's now ranked No. 14 at Light Heavyweight in Australia, and I'm very pleased with the improvements he's made under Angelo Hyder and Tony Nobbs.

“Corrigan has caught the attention of fans with his aggression and power — and he's called ‘Bomber’ for a reason.”

The undefeated Irishman now faces perhaps his toughest test yet as he makes the move up in weight.

LETHAL LEWIS READY FOR REMATCH

One of Perth's most entertaining fighters, Joel “Lethal” Lewis, returns against China's Weifang Li in a highly anticipated rematch.

Lewis has built a reputation for being involved in action-packed contests, while Li will be determined to upset the Perth favourite and derail his momentum.

“Joel is always in an exciting fight,” Tolj said.

“His Chinese opponent is looking to test Joel and upset the apple cart. One thing about Chinese fighters is that you can never write them off.”

Lewis has been putting in the work behind the scenes and is determined to take his career to another level.

“He has the tools, and with the right discipline, this kid can go very far once he fully commits,” Tolj added.

“Joel wants the knockout. He doesn't want to leave it in the hands of the judges.”

BIG BAD BAZLEY CHASING THE KO BONUS

Michael “Big Bad” Bazley is quickly developing a cult following in Perth and will look to continue his unbeaten start against tough Chinese opponent Sheng Xu.

Bazley enters the contest with a perfect 3-0 record and has made no secret of his intentions.

“He's vowed to take home the KO bonus,” Tolj said. “He's had three fights and three wins, and he wants to extend that streak.”

SABURI LOOKING TO BREAK INTO THE ELITE

Rising prospect Tanaka Saburi (3-1) faces China's Jingyang Chen (3-1) in what promises to be an intriguing clash between two evenly matched prospects.

Saburi has already broken into the Australian top 15 and sees Friday night as another opportunity to prove he belongs among the country's best.

“Both prospects are coming prepared to give everything they have and showcase who is the best prospect,” Tolj said.

“Saburi has cracked the top 15 in the national ratings and is looking to earn his stripes and eventually take on the elite Australian boxers.”

BIG BOSH BILLY LOOKING FOR REDEMPTION

Billy “Big Bosh” Quinncroft returns hungry to get back into the win column following his hard-fought battle with ANBF Australasian Champion Lewis Clarke in March.

Quinncroft now faces Theepakorn Pankasem in what Tolj describes as a redemption fight.

“Billy has left no stone unturned,” Tolj said. “He's looking to return to the winning column and show what he's capable of.”

DOOM FIST FACES TOUGH TEST

Fresh from an explosive knockout victory over former ONE Championship World Champion Suzuki, “Doom Fist” Manny Ritti returns to action against the durable Liang Wang.

Wang is no stranger to Corrigan, having taken the undefeated Irishman the distance on two occasions.

The question now is whether Ritti can become the first man to stop him.

“Can he stop Wang? We will see Friday night,” Tolj said.

JYE CHIN LOOKING TO CEMENT HIS RATING

CNS Fight Team's Jye Chin is another fighter making waves on the national scene.

Chin has recently entered the Australian rankings at No. 13 at Super Middleweight and will face Indonesia's Laurensius Lowa as he looks to strengthen his claim among the country's best.

“Jye has a very deceptive record,” Tolj said. “He's looking to let his hands fly and cement his claim as one of the best Super Middleweights in the country.”

MORE ACTION ON A STACKED UNDERCARD

The card also features Michelle Lynch vs Harma Yesti over four rounds, a contest Tolj believes could be a genuine fight-of-the-night candidate.

Also scheduled are:

• Shaun Bayne vs Adam Milnes

• Brendan Drummond-Hay vs Nicolas Serano

• Joe Scaffidi vs Ratiphong Khamthao in Scaffidi's professional debut

With such a diverse lineup, Tolj believes fans are in for a night featuring everything professional boxing has to offer.

“I can't wait for Friday,” Tolj said.

“World Champion Andrew Moloney and his brother Jason will be in the house. It has the makings of a special night with a great mixture of technical fights, bangers, new blood and veterans.”

With Corrigan making his Cruiserweight debut, Lewis looking to settle the score, Bazley chasing another knockout, Saburi fighting to climb the rankings, Chin, Ritti, Lynch and a host of hungry prospects ready to make their mark, Thunderdome 55 promises to deliver another explosive night of professional boxing.

“Make sure to get there Friday and experience the Thunderdome.”

Mini Preview: Romero-Lopez

On Saturday, August 22nd, WBA World Welterweight champion Rolando Romero will make the first defense of his world title against former two-division world champion Teofimo Lopez at the T-Mobile Arenas in Las Vegas, NV. A twelve round world championship bout that can be seen worldwide on DAZN Pay-Per-View or included as part of a DAZN Ultimate subscription. 

This is a fight that in some ways may be the unofficial start or a two fight box off as it will occur only weeks before WBC World Welterweight champion Ryan Garcia defends his portion of the World Welterweight championship for the first time against top Welterweight contender Conor Benn at the same arena. Ironically, Romero defeated Garcia in Times Square in New York City in May of last year for what became the vacant WBA world championship in the Welterweight division. Now over a year later, both fighters are atop the Welterweight division and the possibility of a rematch where the stakes would be higher is obviously there. For Romero, first he must contend with Teofimo Lopez.

Lopez is coming off losing a twelve round unanimous decision to Shakur Stevenson in January in which he lost the WBO World Jr. Welterweight championship. Now eight months later, Lopez attempts to move up in weight as a former Undisputed Lightweight and former Jr. Welterweight world champion in attempting to become a world champion in a third weight division. 

What this fight will come down to in my eyes will center around which fighter will be able to set and dictate the tempo of combat. This is an encounter between two boxer/punchers who have shown the ability to do a little of everything inside the ring. There was a time, however, where Lopez, as a Lightweight, carved a reputation for being able to score quick, and often devastating knockouts. Coming off of a fight where he was bested by a master boxer in Shakur Stevenson, it will be interesting to see if Lopez takes a more aggressive approach here as Romero is also a crafty boxer that likes to give angles and most would say was able to have his way against Garcia last year by implementing such an approach where Garcia was dropped in the second round and simply could not find his rhythm throughout the fight.

As skilled as Romero has proven to be, in his two career defeats against Gervonta Davis and Issac Cruz, he has also shown vulnerability in that both Davis and Cruz were able to catch him and he was not able to stand up to either fighter’s punching power. Although Lopez has not scored a knockout/stoppage in over four years at the time this fight will take place, some will likely give the edge in terms of punching power to him and it is logical to assume that priority number one for the challenger will be to try and cut the ring off from Romero and not allow him an opportunity to be as elusive or establish a rhythm, which Garcia was unable to do when he fought the champion, but clearly worked for both Davis and Cruz when each fought him. 

What is also clear here regardless of the outcome of this fight is the Welterweight division is starting to heat up again with several intriguing bouts both that have been made and could be made in the near future. With many focusing on the fight to come in September between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn, both Romero as champion and Lopez as challenger are likely looking to make a statement with their performance that could make a showdown with the winner of Garcia-Benn enticing for whomever that might be in addition to the lucrative side of the equation that will likely be substantial for all involved. 

“And That's The Boxing Truth.”

Romero vs. Lopez takes place on Saturday, August 22nd at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV. The fight as well as its full undercard can be seen worldwide on digital subscription sports streaming network DAZN as either a standalone pay-per-view offering for $79.99 or included as part of a DAZN Ultimate subscription for $44.99 per month.

Fighting at Croke Park in front of 80,000 fans on Katie Taylor’s farewell card is a dream come true for IBF No. 1 welterweight Paddy Donovan

 

Credit: Bob Trieger - Full Court Press 

Press Release: August 20, 2026 By Bob Trieger Full Court Press - LIMERICK, Ireland 

– Coming off his successful performance in International Boxing Federation’s Title Eliminator this past May in Germany, the new IBF No. 1, mandatory challenger 

Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan

 couldn’t be happier or more excited to be fighting September 5

th

 at famed Croke Park on Irish boxing icon 

Katie Taylor’

s farewell fight card, “Once Upon a Time,” in Dublin.

Taylor (25-1, 6 KOs) faces undefeated 

Flora Pili

 (12-0, 2 KOs), of France, for the Undisputed World Super Lightweight Championship, while Limerick’s Donovan (15-2-1, 11 KOs) takes on 

Tyrone “The Mighty Celt” McKenna

 (5-6-1, 8 KOs), of Belfast, in a 10-round match.   “Once Upon a Time, “ which will be streamed live worldwide on DAZN, sold-out in 30-minutes.

It also marks the first professional boxing event held at Croke Park in 54 years, since “The Greatest” – 

Muhammad Ali

 – stopped 

Alvin Lewis

 in the 11

th

 round of their heavyweight fight there

. Donovan vs. McKenna

 is the lone scheduled All-Irish match-up on the Sept. 5

th

 main card, the first of its kind at Croke Park in a century, since promoter 

Jim Rice

 held a pro boxing event there on July 10, 1926, which featured several All-Irish fights.

“I am a proud Irishman and to fight in front of 80,000 people is a dream come true for me,” the charismatic Donovan said. “Once this card was announced, I told 

Andy

 (

Lee

, Donovan’s head trainer/co-manager) and 

Keith

 (

Sullivan

, co-manager/lawyer) to make it happen. Every single fighter wants to fight in front of 80,000 people, especially with Croke Park being a historical stadium for national sports, and it is a dream for me to participate and show fans around the world with 80,000 Irish fans in the stadium cheering. I’m really looking forward to it.

“This will be my third time fighting on a Katie Taylor card and it gets even more special every single time, none better than this one. Katie has led by example through the years and she’s a fighter I’ve looked up to. And to be a part of her last fight, here in Ireland is fitting. I can’t wait for fight night!”

Taylor will retire after this fight, leaving a void in terms of the contemporary face of Irish boxing. An impressive victory for Donovan on Sept. 5, followed by a world title challenge, could insert Donovan into that position.

“Katie Taylor is one of the greatest athletes Ireland has ever had; she’s the greatest female fighter of all time,” a respectful Donovan added. “She has already put Irish boxing on the map. Katie has put us in the history books. How great is that to be the greatest female fighter who has ever, and to be from our small country? Katie is a national treasure to us. It’s a proud moment for Katie to be fighting in front of 80,000 fans and I am so happy and grateful to get my opportunity and chance to fight on the same card. I wish her all the best, but she will be remembered in Irish folklore forever.”

“Fighting on Katie's retirement card in Croke Park before 80,000 people is exactly the kind of stage Paddy Donovan belongs on,” Sullivan commented. “Paddy has established himself as one of Ireland’s most exciting fighters, and now he gets the opportunity to perform in front of a massive home crowd on a truly historic night. We’ve always believed Paddy has the talent to become a world champion, and nights like this are another important step toward that goal. I expect Paddy to put on a spectacular performance and remind everyone why he is one of the brightest stars in Irish boxing.”

Donovan is facing a tough, experienced opponent in McKenna, who he knows, respects and isn’t looking past. A former WBC Inter-Continental Champion, the battle-tested McKenna has been in tough against the likes of 

Jack Catterall

, 

Roger Progais

, 

Harlem Eubank

 and Paddy’s archrival, 

Lewis Crocker

.

“Tyrone McKenna has nothing to lose in this fight,” Donovan added. “This is potentially Tyrone’s last fight, so he’s going to give it his all fighting in front of 80,000 Irish fans. Tyrone is a proud Irishman. I’m sure he’s taking this fight seriously, because he’s going to be in the ring with a young, very hungry, dangerous fighter. Let’s enjoy the moment and put it all on the line and give the Irish fans something to really enjoy.

“Tyrone and I have mutual respect for each other. We go way back to when I started my professional journey in 2019, when Tyrone McKenna was my sparring partner for many years while he was at the peak of his career. I helped him and he helped me along the way. He will bring a lot of experience in the ring on September 5

th

. I’m looking forward to seeing how good Tyrone can be. It’s a great matchup and I’m looking forward to it.”

Donovan is eager to take on the elite of one of boxing’s hottest divisions and its “name” champions, but, first, he needs to get past McKenna.

“The welterweight division is a great place right now with some amazing champions

. 

(Americans)

 Ryan “King Ry” Garcia

 (WBC, 25-2, 20 KOs) for one, 

Devin “The Dream” Haney 

(WBO, 33-0, 15 KOs), 

Rolly Romero

 (17-2, 13 KOs) and (Australian) 

Liam Paro 

(IBF, 28-1, 16 KOs),” Donovan noted. “Once I capture the IBF title, I want to fight the best because I believe I’m one of the best fighters in the world. I will fight them anywhere, anytime. I’ll be ready. They will never see a storm like what is going to come their way once I capture the IBF title. I believe I can beat every single one of them. I’m not worried and don’t care about anyone as long as I get my opportunity to fight them. I will take those fights with both hands.”

A cracker of a fight is on the horizon, and more happy days are certainly coming for Paddy Donovan.

“HANDS WILL FLY” — JYE CHIN PROMISES WAR AUG 28 AT THUNDERDOME 55

 

Credit: Mike O'Hara/Dragon Fire Boxing 

Press Release: August 20, 2026 By Dragon Fire Boxing - Perth’s Jye Chin is back in action on August 28, determined to continue his rise through the Australian super-middleweight ranks when Dragon Fire Boxing returns to Metro City Arena for Thunderdome 55.

Perth fight fans are set for another explosive night of boxing when Dragon Fire Boxing brings the iconic Thunderdome series back to Metro City Arena on August 28.

Aussie #13-rated super-middleweight Jye Chin will return to the ring following a standout performance against fellow Australian contender Ryan Daye, carrying plenty of momentum into his latest challenge.

The 22-year-old prospect has built an impressive three-fight winning streak and now faces Indonesia’s Laurensius Lowa, with Chin determined to take another step towards the upper reaches of the division.

Despite his growing reputation, Chin isn't taking anything for granted.

“Don’t know much about my opponent. I don’t take anybody lightly, so I’m expecting a war regardless. I think he’ll bring pressure, and I’m ready to fight any kind of fight it turns into.”

That mentality has been reflected in Chin’s preparation, with the young contender putting in serious work ahead of fight night.

“Training has been great! Sparring nearly three times a week and I’m feeling very fit.”

Breaking into the Australian top 15 is already a significant achievement for the 22-year-old, but Chin insists he is nowhere near satisfied.

“To be in the top 15 is a privilege but also a testament to my hard work. I took the hard road and didn’t take an easy fight to achieve it. But it’s barely what I want. Top 5 by next year is the goal.”

Chin is also promising fans a memorable performance when he steps between the ropes on August 28.

“My message to my opponent is simply good luck. I’m not one for the talk, so hands will fly and one will be raised.”

And his prediction for the night is clear.

“Come down and watch the SHOW!! To the fans, I promise a performance and I promise a stoppage. Come down and support as it will be my last one this year.”

With a top-15 ranking already secured, a three-fight winning streak behind him and ambitions of breaking into the Australian top five, Jye Chin has plenty at stake at Thunderdome 55.

August 28. Metro City Arena.

Don’t miss the return of Jye Chin.

Two Worlds, One Champion: Gustavo "The Cuban Assassin" Trujillo Thriving in Bare Knuckle and Traditional Boxing

Undefeated BKB Heavyweight World Champion and WBO No. 13-ranked boxer embraces the differences between both disciplines as he prepares to defend his BKB crown against Mark O'Neil at BKB 58 in Miami

Credit: Team Trujillo

Press Release: August 20, 2026 By Mario Serrano/Visionary Sports Group -MIAMI, Fl  – Whether he's fighting with gloves or bare knuckles, undefeated BKB Heavyweight World Champion Gustavo "The Cuban Assassin" Trujillo has established himself as one of the most dangerous heavyweight punchers in combat sports.

Trujillo, who owns a perfect 8-0 record with eight knockouts in BKB, has yet to see the second round in bare knuckle competition. At the same time, the Cuban powerhouse remains undefeated in traditional professional boxing at 12-0 with 11 knockouts and is currently ranked No. 13 by the World Boxing Organization (WBO).

On Saturday, August 29, 2026, Trujillo will return to his bare-knuckle roots when he defends his BKB Heavyweight World Championship against veteran challenger Mark "The Veteran" O'Neil (3-4) at BKB 58 at the James L. Knight Center in Miami, Florida.

For Trujillo, succeeding in two different versions of the sweet science requires more than punching power. Although traditional boxing and bare-knuckle boxing share many of the same fundamentals, he believes each discipline demands a different mentality and appreciation for the craft.

"I love both sports because each one brings something different out of me as a fighter," said Trujillo. "Traditional boxing is about being patient, using your jab, setting traps, putting combinations together, and thinking several moves ahead. Bare knuckle is different. Everything happens so fast, and every mistake can cost you immediately. You have to be sharp, accurate, and completely focused. Boxing challenges my skills and patience, while bare knuckle challenges my instincts and toughness. I have a lot of respect for both."

Trujillo's extraordinary knockout percentage across both sports speaks to a rare ability to carry his power regardless of the rules or equipment. However, the champion says one of the biggest adjustments comes from understanding how punches affect an opponent differently when gloves are removed.

"The damage is definitely different," Trujillo explained. "With bare knuckles, you feel every punch differently, whether you're giving it or receiving it. Cuts can happen much quicker, and accuracy becomes extremely important because you also have to protect your hands. In traditional boxing, the gloves allow you to throw different combinations and generate damage over time, but heavyweight punches with gloves can still do serious damage. Neither one is easy. They're just different kinds of battles, and you have to respect what each sport demands from your body."

That versatility has helped make Trujillo a unique force. His BKB résumé has been defined by explosive finishes, with all eight victories coming by knockout in the opening round. In traditional boxing, 11 of his 12 opponents have also failed to hear the final bell.

Despite those numbers, Trujillo isn't allowing his past success to create complacency heading into his title defense against O'Neil.

"The fans know my style, and they know I'm coming to fight," Trujillo said when discussing what Miami can expect on August 29. "I'm going to bring pressure, power, and excitement, but I'm also going to be smart. Mark O'Neil is a veteran, and he’s a dangerous puncher. I'm preparing for the best version of him. As the reigning champion, I have to prepare like I'm the challenger every single time. My goal is to put on a performance the fans remember and walk out of that ring still the BKB Heavyweight World Champion."

For Abe Swidan of Visionary Sports Group, who manages Trujillo, his fighter's ability to remain undefeated while competing at a high level in two demanding combat sports makes his accomplishments even more impressive.

"What Gustavo is doing is extremely difficult," said Swidan. "We're talking about a fighter who is 8-0 with eight knockouts in BKB and 12-0 with 11 knockouts in professional boxing while climbing into the WBO world rankings. These are two different disciplines that require different approaches, yet Gustavo has been able to dominate in both. That tells you how talented, adaptable, and dangerous he truly is."

Swidan believes Trujillo's success has positioned him for significant opportunities on both sides of his career, but the focus remains on continuing to improve rather than simply celebrating what has already been accomplished.

"The exciting part is that Gustavo is still developing," Swidan continued. "He's a world champion in BKB, he's internationally ranked in professional boxing, and he's creating a path that very few fighters have been able to navigate successfully. Our goal is to continue building both sides of his career and put him in the biggest fights possible. But first, he has business to handle on August 29, and he understands that better than anyone."

For Trujillo, BKB 58 represents another opportunity to demonstrate that his success isn't defined by gloves, bare knuckles, rankings, or records. It's defined by his ability to adapt, compete, and perform whenever the bell rings. On August 29, "The Cuban Assassin" will once again step into the BKB ring with his heavyweight championship, undefeated record, and perfect first-round knockout streak on the line.

Late "Fights Under The Lights" Results From Sugarland, TX

Credit: Mario Serrano/CombatVisionTV 

Press Release: August 17, 2026 By Mario Serrano/CombatVisionTV  - SUGAR LAND, TX - Last night, (Friday, August 14th) Bobby Harrison’s BiYu Promotions presented “Fights Under the Lights” live from Constellation Field in Sugar Land, Texas. The event streamed worldwide on CombatVisionTV.com where you can watch the replay.

Hall of Famers Roy Jones Jr. and Al Bernstein provided expert commentary and analysis alongside Hector Camacho Jr. and undefeated female professional boxer Jewry Rodriguez, bringing viewers all the action from ringside. Adding to the excitement of the night, a $5,000 Knockout of the Night bonus was awarded to Mauricio Quintanilla for his standout stoppage victory.

In the 10-round main event. Izaiah Dent (11-0, 9 KOs) remained undefeated with a split decision victory over Chavon Stillwell (10-1, 8 KOs), capturing the WBA/NABA light heavyweight title and handing Stillwell the first defeat of his professional career. Both fighters had their moments throughout the competitive bout, but Dent was the busier fighter and did enough to earn the victory. The judges scored the fight 98-92 and 96-94 for Dent, while the third judge had it 96-95 for Stillwell.

“I knew I had to stay active and keep the pressure on him,” Dent said. “He came to fight and made me work for every round, but I believed I did enough to get the win. Becoming a champion and giving him his first loss makes this victory even more special. I’m only getting started.”

In the eight round co-main event, Jayden Britton (10-0, 6 KOs) remained undefeated with a unanimous decision victory over Bruno Pola Ruiz (11-5-2, 9 KOs) in a scheduled eight-round super middleweight bout. Britton consistently landed the cleaner shots throughout the fight, earning scorecards of 80-72, 78-74, and 77-75, all in his favor. With the victory, Britton captured the WBA/NABA super middleweight title.

“I felt like I controlled the fight from start to finish,” Britton said. “He was a tough opponent, but I stayed composed, landed the cleaner shots, and stuck to the game plan. Winning this title means a lot, but this is only the beginning. I’m ready for whatever comes next.”

“Launching CombatVisionTV with Fights Under the Lights is a special moment for us,” said Bobby Harrison of BiYu Promotions. “Our vision is to create a platform that gives fighters greater exposure while bringing boxing fans exciting, competitive fights from around the world. To launch with an event at Constellation Field and have legends like Roy Jones Jr. and Al Bernstein involved makes the night even more meaningful. This is just the beginning for CombatVisionTV and BiYu Promotions.”

Steven Grandy (5-0, 5 KOs) defeated Gerardo Reyes (3-5, 2 KOs) by second-round TKO. Grandy battered Reyes throughout the opening round, with Reyes suffering a severe cut in the process. Grandy continued to apply pressure in round two before the bout was stopped at the 2:21 mark.

Mauro Sierra (13-0, 7 KOs) remained undefeated with a unanimous decision victory over Miguel Menchaca (4-2-1, 1 KO) in a scheduled six-round bantamweight bout, capturing the ABO title. Sierra used his superior boxing skills and movement to outbox Menchaca throughout the contest, controlling the action and landing the cleaner shots. The judges scored the bout 49-46, 49-46, and 50-45, all in favor of Sierra.

John Torres (13-0-1, 8 KOs) defeated Ryan Adams (12-13-1, 7 KOs) by unanimous decision in a scheduled six-round super middleweight bout. Torres faced an early scare when Adams dropped him with a powerful right hook in round two. Torres recovered and began outworking Adams as the fight progressed, taking advantage as Adams faded in the later rounds. The judges scored the bout 57-56 twice and 58-55, all in favor of Torres.

In a battle of undefeated fighters in bout five, Mauricio Quintanilla (8-0, 4 KOs) handed Jerrell Mayweather (5-1, 3 KOs) his first professional defeat, scoring a second-round TKO in a scheduled six-round welterweight bout. Quintanilla dropped Mayweather with an overhand right in the opening round and sent him to the canvas again with a flurry of punches later in the round. Quintanilla continued the pressure in round two, dropping Mayweather for a third time with another barrage to bring the bout to an end at the 1:35 mark.

In bout four, Joshua Franco (5-0, 3 KOs), a southpaw, defeated Roberto Castro (3-5, 1 KO) by fourth-round TKO in a scheduled four-round welterweight bout. After dominating the first three rounds, Franco closed the show with a flurry of combinations, with his straight left proving particularly effective. The stoppage came at the 2:12 mark of round four.

Ivan Vasquez (12-2-2, 9 KOs) defeated Eduy Bernardo (27-12, 19 KOs) by first-round knockout in a scheduled four-round middleweight bout. Vasquez dropped Bernardo with a straight left midway through the opening round before finishing him with a barrage of punches at the 2:54 mark.

Ty Cassell (5-0, 3 KOs) defeated Charles Scott Jr. (1-6, 1 KO) by third-round TKO in a scheduled four-round super lightweight bout. After two closely contested rounds, Cassell caught Scott with a right-left-right combination that brought the fight to an end at 2:18 of round three.

Roy Knight (4-1, 3 KOs) defeated Bryan Springs (3-19-3, 1 KO) by unanimous decision in a four-round middleweight bout. All three judges scored the fight 40-36.
