It was an outstanding opening round from Tellez, as she worked impressively in between Turhan’s huge wild swings.

The champion had her best moment near the end of the sixth round, landing a clubbing right hand that visibly shook Tellez.

Tellez had success in the eighth round, picking her moments well. Turhan landed a big right hand in the final round, which hurt Tellez, who did well to survive. The fight went to the judges’ scorecards, which read 96-94 x3, all in favour of Elif Nur Turhan, who retained her IBF title. The Turkish fighter landed the more impactful punches, but Tellez’s work was more impressive. A close fight that could have gone either way, but Turhan got the job done.

Elias Montoya Terraza vs Adrian Rodriguez

Terraza enjoyed a strong opening round, landing several heavy shots and looking the sharper fighter, with Rodriguez one step behind for much of the first three minutes. The second round started in a similar fashion, and Terraza soon had Rodriguez hurt, knocking him down with a right hand. The end was near, and Terraza pounced, landing a series of hurtful punches, forcing the referee to jump in and wave the fight off. What a performance from the Sinaloan resident, winning by second-round stoppage.
