In the co-main event, <strong>Xavier Martinez<\/strong> scored a sixth round TKO victory over <strong>Oscar Bravo<\/strong> to remain undefeated.<\/p>\n<p>After 10 rounds of non-stop action, <strong>Cameron<\/strong> <strong>Krael<\/strong> (14-13-3, 3KOs) came out on top over <strong>Jose<\/strong> <strong>Borrego<\/strong> (14-2, 12 KOs) to earn the victory. Krael\u2019s speed and piercing power allowed him to land strong shots and counter punches to his opponent. The bout was a war from the start of the first round, as the fighters took little time to feel each other out in the first round before getting to business, and there was no turning back. Krael and Borrego battled into the second round and continued the momentum in the rounds that followed. Both fighters threw consistent combinations and by the middle to late rounds they kept the fans on their feet. Krael\u2019s striking punches, and combinations of body shots and jabs, began to take a toll on his opponent. The toe-to-toe action and exchanges of electrifying blows continued until the bell sounded in the 10<sup>th<\/sup> and final round. It was an all-out war and judges scored the bout a majority decision in favor of Cameron \u201cSuave\u201d Krael\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Borrego was unavailable for post-fight quotes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI absolutely do not agree with the judges\u2019 decision, said Gary Jones, Borrego\u2019s manager. \u201cI think our fighter won at least 7 or 8 rounds, out-punched him every round, but you\u2019re dealing with a small arena with a loud crowd. He was a visitor and it was a hometown crowd and I think the crowd noise influenced the judges every time our fighter got hit and it got quiet every time our fighter hit him. It put the psychological target on the judges to really call the fight right when they heard that kind of noise. We\u2019re going to work on not taking those shots at the end of the exchanges. He got hit with a lot of jabs, but Krael definitely threw more power punches and hit him with bigger shots. If Borrego can take care of one thing and not get hit on the way out at the end of those exchanges, he would\u2019ve probably dominated the rounds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought I did great, fought in true champion style, said Krael. \u201cMy boxing was on point tonight, that\u2019s what I showed new to my game, thanks to my new coach Otis. He taught me how to box, how to jab, and just stay in the outside pretty much. I didn\u2019t face any major challenges against Borrego because I knew he was going to bring the pressure and I just tried to stay on the outside as much as possible. I felt that could\u2019ve stayed busy with my punches and threw a lot more of them. I\u2019m ready for bigger things, whatever they got coming up for me, I\u2019m ready.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>20-year old unbeaten prospect, <strong>Xavier Martinez<\/strong> (12-0, 7KOs), headlined the co-main event vs. veteran contender <strong>Oscar Bravo<\/strong> (23-9, 11KOs) in a Super Featherweight battle. Both fighters entered the ring with explosive shots. During the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> round, Bravo suffered a cut over the left eye from the exchange of on target blows he received from Martinez. This didn\u2019t stop Bravo\u2019s determination through the rounds. Martinez picked up the momentum and continued dominating in the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> round and didn\u2019t slow down. The referee stopped the fight at 2:46 into the 6<sup>th<\/sup> round deciding that the fighter was unable to continue, improving Martinez\u2019 record to (12-0, 8KOs). This was the first time Bravo has been stopped in his career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d rate my performance a \u2018C\u2019, I can\u2019t ever be satisfied, stated Martinez. \u201cI got hit with a few punches that I shouldn\u2019t have gotten hit with, but it\u2019s all a learning experience. I honestly knew he was going to be my toughest opponent to-date. I could\u2019ve been a little sharper on my defense and went to the body a little more towards the end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t agree with the judges\u2019 decisions, says Bravo. \u201cI was taking shots because I wanted to counter punch him with a cross punch, but the ref thought I was hurt, and it wasn\u2019t like that. I was only waiting for the exact moment to cross punch and knock him out. I feel that I forced myself enough, I knew I could throw another punch and be able to catch-up, but the ref didn\u2019t let me continue with my game plan that I had at that moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additional action saw a super middleweight match-up between <strong>Lionell Thompson<\/strong> (20-5, 11KOs) and Indiana\u2019s <strong>Derrick Findley<\/strong> (28-24-1, 18 KOs). This fight between two hungry and experienced fighters started off very measured with both fighters choosing their shots with caution but turned out to be a full-on brawl. The fighters got the best of one another and applied the pressure when needed. After 10-rounds of non-stop action, judges scored the bout a unanimous decision in favor of Thompson improving his record to (20-5, 11 KOs).<\/p>\n<p>Philly\u2019s<strong> Christopher Brooker <\/strong>(14-6, 5KOs) got his 14<sup>th<\/sup> victory over <strong>Lanell \u201cKO\u201d Bellows <\/strong>(18-3-2, 11KOs) by unanimous decision. <strong>Ava \u201cThe Lady of Boxing\u201d Knight<\/strong> (16-2-4, 5KOs) entered the ring eager to earn a victory and did just that by defeating <strong>Nancy Franco <\/strong>(15-13-2, 4KOs) by unanimous decision in a 6-round action-packed bout. <strong>Maurice \u201cAmbitous\u201d Lee<\/strong> (8-1-1, 4KOs) suffered the first draw of his career after a hard-fought battle between undefeated <strong>Ivan Pandzic <\/strong>(8-0-1, 4 KOs)<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Super middleweight, <strong>Kevin Newman <\/strong>made his return to the ring and improved his record to (8-1-1, 4KOs) with a second round TKO victory over Ohio native, <strong>Egerbhert Reed<\/strong> (4-5-1, 1KO). <strong>Jose Valenzuela <\/strong>(1-0) made his pro-debut in stellar fashion by earning his first professional victory by unanimous decision over <strong>Humberto Tellez<\/strong> (0-2) in a 4-round featherweight bout.\u00a0 In the opening bout of the night, we saw prospect <strong>Sevelle Hasan<\/strong> (2-1, 1KO) defeat <strong>Kaywann Sistrunk<\/strong> (0-1-1) by technical knockout 1:10 into the third round of a 4-round super lightweight battle.<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-157280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.soulcentralmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/KKKJ-791x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"901\" \/><\/p>\n<div># # #<\/div>\n<div>\nFans can view the playback of the stream\u00a0 on Mayweather Promotions Facebook.
