CAROLINE DUBOIS TD WITH JESSICA CAMARA

WBC lightweight champ Caroline Dubois remained champion when her first defense was stopped after two rounds due to a cut over the eye of opponent Jessica Camara. The action was one-sided while it lasted in Sheffield, England on Saturday night, as Dubois (10-0-1, 5 KOs) dropped the challenger a minute in and fired heavy shots throughout the short bout.

Camara (14-4-1, 3 KOs) was busted up by punches but the cut over her left eye was from an accidental headbutt. After the second round, referee Kieran McCann notified Camara’s corner that he would have the doctor take a look at the start of the third. When the bell rang, McCann immediately called time out and after the doctor’s inspection, the bout was waved off.

Dubois won the title last August with a UD10 over Maira Moneo.

USYK UD12 OVER FURY IN REMATCH

Oleksandr Usyk decisioned Tyson Fury again, this time by unanimous decision. All three judges had it 116-112. The rematch took place in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, with Usyk pulling away over the second half of the fight.

Fury didn’t have the energy in their first go-round, a split-decision victory for Usyk. This time it was more clear cut.

 

MUNGUIA SHOCKED BY SURACE

Jaime Munguia was stopped via one-punch knockout by lightly regarded Bruno Surace on Saturday night in Tijuana, MX. What was supposed to be a successful end of a busy, four-fight year for Munguia (44-2, 35 KOs) went bad when Surace (26-0-2, 5 KOs) recovered well from a second-round knockdown and landed the show-stopper in the sixth.

Nothing in Surace’s record indicated he would be anything other than fodder for a hometown party for Munguia. The Frenchman had just eight wins over fighters with winning records and only four knockouts in 27 fights. But he came up with the power to damage Munguia much more than Canelo Alvarez was able to do in May.

ROCHA, CURIEL BATTLE TO A DRAW

Alexis Rocha and Raul Curiel went 12 tough rounds that saw their welterweight bout end in a majority draw on Saturday night in Ontario, CA. One judge had it 116-112 for Rocha while the other two saw it 114-114.

Rocha (25-2-1, 16 KO’s) is ranked #2 by the WBO and #9 by the WBC while holding the NABO belt. Curiel (15-0-1, 13 KO’s) hold the NABF title and is ranked #5 (WBC), and #10 (IBF).

Both fighters called for a rematch immediately after the fight.

ESPINOZA DEFENDS FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE WITH TKO6 OF RAMIREZ

Rafael Espinoza (26-0, 22 KOs) defended his WBO featherweight title for the second time, this time against the man he won it from last year, Robeisy Ramirez, with a TKO6 on Saturday night in Phoenix, AZ. Ramirez waved off the fight himself just after the start of the sixth round due to double vision in his right eye.

Espinoza was coming on after a slow start in the first two rounds where Ramirez was able to have success with constant movement and rapid fire attacks on the inside before moving away. Espinoza stepped up the action in round three and slowed Ramirez’ progress the rest of the way.

MIKE TYSON – JAKE PAUL COVERAGE

I’ll be following along on the Netflix event tonight with fight results and some commentary on the Serrano-Taylor rematch as well as the headliner.

JAKE PAUL UD8 OVER MIKE TYSON

Pretty underwhelming. Either you like the “event” or you don’t. I’m ok with it. Mike had very little and Jake went easy on him. Fair enough. We got a couple of great fights on the undercard and a lot of eyes were on boxing tonight. Just my personal opinion but this new era of boxing is going quite well. Events such as
