Sicklerville, New Jersey’s Dylan “The Real Dyl” Price defeated 37-fight veteran Alberto “Metro” Guevara by unanimous decision in the eight-round super bantamweight main event of “The Unity Event. One City. Brotherly Love.”
The six-bout professional card, promoted by Hard Hitting Promotions and LH2 Promotions and powered by LVMNY, took place at Live! Casino Philadelphia and featured two fighters making their professional debuts and one fighter returning after an extended layoff, along with two undefeated New Jersey fighters scoring victories.
Price Dominates Guevara
Price entered the main event against the experienced Guevara as the aggressor, consistently pressing forward while looking to land power shots to both the head and body.
The aggressive approach paid dividends in the second round, when Price hurt Guevara with a body shot that buckled the veteran’s knees.
Price was penalized one point by referee Harvey Dock in the fourth round for an accidental low blow.
The pressure from Price eventually produced a knockdown in the seventh round. Guevara beat the count and finished the bout, but Price had done enough to earn a wide decision.
All three judges scored the bout 79-71 for Price, giving him a unanimous decision victory.
The win moves Price’s record to 22-1 (14 KOs). Guevara falls to 28-10 (13 KOs).
Colon Stops Diaz in Seventh
Newark, New Jersey’s Keith “Tsunami” Colon remained perfect in the co-main event, stopping Colombian Mickael Diaz in the seventh round of their eight-round featherweight contest.
Colon immediately pressed forward, committing to power punches to both the body and head. Diaz demonstrated considerable durability, however, absorbing Colon’s attack without hitting the canvas.
That durability was particularly notable given that nine of Colon’s previous knockouts had come within the first three rounds.
Colon continued to land heavy shots throughout the fight, including an overhand right in the fifth. Diaz remained on his feet, but referee Ricky Gonzalez eventually intervened at 2:22 of the seventh round.
Colon was awarded the victory by TKO.
The stoppage keeps Colon undefeated at 11-0 (11 KOs). Diaz falls to 10-7 (7 KOs).
Tinnin Returns After More Than Three Years
After more than three years away from the professional ring, Jayon “Showtime” Tinnin returned against Jesus “Finito” Alonso in a four-round bantamweight bout.
Alonso was the aggressor, consistently moving forward, but Tinnin used his footwork and accurate counterpunching to neutralize the pressure and land the more effective shots.
Tinnin, a southpaw, demonstrated his accuracy in the third round by splitting Alonso’s guard with a right jab.
The fight went the full four rounds without a knockdown. The official decision went to Tinnin, improving his professional record to 2-0. Alonso falls to 4-12-1 (1 KO).
Kamara Wins Pro Debut
Born in Sierra Leone and now living in the United States, Natasha “BigBidnez” Kamara fulfilled a long-held dream by making her professional debut against Karen Brown in a four-round super bantamweight bout.
Brown frequently moved forward, but Kamara’s punch volume, accuracy and intelligent shot selection allowed her to control the action.
Kamara landed an overhand right in the opening round and continued to dictate the exchanges as the fight progressed.
The bout went the distance without a knockdown. All three judges scored the fight 40-36 Kamara, giving her a unanimous decision victory.
Kamara begins her professional career 1-0, while Brown falls to 1-3-1 (1 KO).
Valdez Wins Professional Debut
A 2025 Golden Gloves winner, Deykel Valdez also began his professional career with a victory, defeating Rasuiod “The Reaper” Hollie in a four-round bantamweight bout.
The opening round was competitive, with neither fighter establishing firm control. Beginning in the second, Valdez effectively mixed outside boxing with stepping in and sitting down on his punches.
Valdez consistently outworked Hollie from that point forward, although Hollie had periods of effective pressure.
Valdez responded to Hollie’s pressure in the fourth with a head-turning right hand off the ropes.
The fight went the distance without a knockdown, with the judges scoring it 40-36, 39-37, and 39-37, all in Valdez’s favor.
Valdez begins his professional career 1-0. Hollie falls to 1-5 (1 KO).
Craig Continues Unbeaten Start
Darryl “Smiley” Craig, Jr. returned to action following his successful professional debut in May, facing Jerrod “Nugget” Miner in a four-round super featherweight bout.
Craig started aggressively, coming forward and landing the harder punches. An overhand right connected with Miner while Miner was against the ropes in the opening round.
Miner responded in the second, pinning Craig against the ropes and landing solid shots to both the head and body. Craig rallied late in the round, however, backing Miner into a neutral corner.
Craig regained control in the third and fourth rounds, outworking and out-landing Miner while Miner continued to find opportunities for effective counters.
The bout went the distance without a knockdown. The judges scored the contest 40-36, 39-37, and 39-37, all for Craig.
Craig improves to 2-0, while Miner falls to 2-16-2 (1 KO).
