Undercard outcomes
Tiara Brown SD-10 Skye Nicolson: Brown scores the upset on the street, combating very well in a really aggressive bout that was, I believe, scored truthful each methods, taking the WBC featherweight title. Nicolson (12-1, 1 KO) took one card, 96-94, and the opposite two went to Brown (19-0, 11 KO) on tallies of 96-94 and 97-93. I believe you seemingly see a rematch; Nicolson has been vastly promoted by Matchroom and nearly absolutely had a rematch clause, however the story of the night time is actually that nonetheless you scored it, Tiara Brown talked a terrific sport coming in, and he or she delivered within the ring. Even for those who edged it to Nicolson, Brown was undoubtedly proper there together with her and by miles her hardest foe within the professionals thus far. Good combat.
Teremoana Junior TKO-1 James Singh: Nothing combat. Teremoana goes to 7-0 (7 KO) with this all-but-a-walkover, with respect to Singh (12-6, 11 KO), who completely tried his finest and all that. It’s not essentially time to rocket Teremoana up the ranks, however a combat with Hemi Ahio — who gained a gimme on the off-TV undercard — would make quite a lot of sense by the top of 2025.
Cherneka Johnson TKO-7 Nina Hughes: “Sugar Neekz” makes it two straight over Hughes, this another definitive. Good scrap once more, as they each simply got here out firing, however Johnson (17-2, 7 KO) simply had extra going for her. Not a giant shock, actually, as she’s the a lot youthful and of the 2, figured to have much more probability to be higher than their aggressive first bout from 10 months in the past. At 42, Hughes (6-2, 2 KO) has most likely actually carried out as a lot as she’s going to do, however she had run even when we don’t see her once more, and even counting how quick her professional profession was.
Imam Khataev UD-10 Durval Palacio: A very good combat to observe, however one that will have actually uncovered the constraints and low ceiling of the 30-year-old Khataev (10-0, 9 KO), who couldn’t put Palacio (14-4, 11 KO) away regardless of shelling out quite a lot of good photographs, and wound up wanting the more severe for put on. Scores had been 98-90, 99-89, and 99-89, which don’t actually inform the story of the combat but in addition aren’t unfair or something, as a result of Khataev did deserve the majority of the rounds and dropped Palacio, however the Argentine was double robust and appeared that Khataev actually solely has the one velocity, which simply gained’t be sufficient at larger ranges. However Khataev on the very least is enjoyable to observe, and he’s robust himself, as Palacio landed some nice photographs and isn’t a light-weight puncher.
