Main Event — Kristian Prenga Stops Joe Jones in Wild First Round
Heavyweight contender Kristian Prenga entered the night riding a 15-fight knockout streak and extended it to 16 with a chaotic first-round stoppage of “Mighty” Joe Jones.
The bout was rugged from the outset, featuring more physical clashes than clean exchanges. Jones hit the canvas early, though referee David Franciosi ruled no knockdown due to a blow to the back of the head. As the action resumed, Prenga found cleaner work, landing a sharp right uppercut and later scoring the first official knockdown with a body shot.
Jones rose, only to be dropped again moments later. After beating the count a second time, another collision sent Jones to the canvas. Franciosi determined he had seen enough and waved the bout off.
Official result: Prenga TKO 1 (1:57).
Prenga improves to 20-1 (20). Jones falls to 16-15-1 (10).
Co-Main Event — Erron Peterson Breaks Down Jose Angulo
Undefeated Philadelphia southpaw Erron “JYD” Peterson showcased his measured aggression in an eight-round super lightweight bout against veteran Jose Angulo.
Peterson applied steady pressure throughout. A second-round knockdown was ruled a slip, but the tide turned definitively in the fifth when Angulo went down from a body shot. Though Angulo beat the count, he struggled to handle Peterson’s sustained attack.
In the sixth, Peterson dropped Angulo again. Referee Mary Glover halted the contest at 1:11 of round six.
Peterson advances to 14-0-1 (13). Angulo drops to 17-14 (10).
Zahir Abdus-Salaam Scores First Pro Knockout
Super welterweight Zahir Abdus-Salaam needed less than a round to secure his first professional stoppage, defeating Avante Kamara.
A body shot knockdown set the tone, and after Kamara rose, a second knockdown prompted referee Mary Glover to end the bout.
Official result: Abdus-Salaam TKO 1 (2:15).
Abdus-Salaam improves to 2-0 (1). Kamara falls to 0-4.
Devin Price Stops Lyle McFarlane in Opening Round
Super lightweight Devin “Baby Boy” Price extended his winning streak with a dominant first-round TKO over Lyle “The Island Prince” McFarlane.
Price dropped McFarlane with a left hook during an early exchange and followed with a right hand that staggered him. A second knockdown forced referee David Franciosi to step in at 2:55 of the first round.
Price moves to 7-1 (5). McFarlane drops to 3-8 (1).
Muadh Abdus-Salaam Edges Marsellus Campbell
In a clash of unbeaten super lightweights, Muadh “Nim” Abdus-Salaam overcame the height and reach advantages of Marsellus “Slim” Campbell.
Campbell switched stances effectively, but Abdus-Salaam closed distance and landed concise power shots. A late right hand in the fourth sent Campbell into the ropes.
The bout went to the cards, with Abdus-Salaam earning the decision.
Abdus-Salaam improves to 3-0 (1). Campbell falls to 2-1 (2).
Jasai Kirkpatrick Dominates Claudio Hernandez

Kirkpatrick displayed superior speed, power, and accuracy throughout. Hernandez rallied briefly in the fourth, but Kirkpatrick maintained control.
All three judges scored the bout 40-36 for Kirkpatrick.
Kirkpatrick remains unbeaten at 4-0 (2). Hernandez drops to 1-3 (1).
Ryan Zempoaltecati Shuts Out Rashad Bogar
Super lightweight Ryan “Pretty Boy” Zempoaltecati used sharp footwork and a committed body attack to control Rashad “Tank” Bogar over four rounds.
Zempoaltecati’s movement and punch selection prevented Bogar from establishing offense. The judges scored it 40-36 on all three cards.
Zempoaltecati improves to 5-0 (3). Bogar falls to 5-11-1 (2).
Zedric Stephenson Upsets Alonzo Neal
In one of three heavyweight bouts on the card, Zedric “The Black Matador” Stephenson earned a majority decision over previously unbeaten Alonzo “Bigfoot” Neal.
The bout was competitive throughout. Neal pressed forward, while Stephenson countered sharply. A right hand in the fourth snapped Neal’s head back and may have sealed the fight.
The judges returned scores of 39-37, 39-37 Stephenson, and 38-38.
Stephenson improves to 4-6 (2). Neal drops to 4-1-1 (4).
Alvaro Wins Battle of Debuts
In a four-round contest featuring two professional debutants, Alexander “El Larimar” Collado and Huizar Alvaro faced off in a spirited bout.
Alvaro seized control in the opening round, dropping Collado with an overhand right and continuing to land clean head shots throughout. Collado showed heart, particularly in the fourth, but could not overcome the early deficit.
Judges scored the fight 40-35, 40-35, and 39-36 for Alvaro.
Alvaro begins his career at 1-0. Collado starts at 0-1.
Viktor Jurk Opens Card with First-Round Body Shot Stoppage
Undefeated German heavyweight Viktor Jurk wasted little time in the opener, stopping Elder Hernandez Gama with a devastating body shot.
After a brief feeling-out process, Jurk landed a right hook to the body that sent Gama retreating in pain. Gama took a knee and rose at nine, but referee Shada Murdock deemed him unable to continue.
Official result: Jurk TKO 1 (1:25).
Jurk improves to 12-0 (10). Gama falls to 7-7 (5).
