Baranchyk came out throwing hard punches early as he was looking for an explosive early knockout. In round two, Baranchyk started getting to Bracero and opened a cut over the right eye of Bracero. In round four, Baranchyk landed two hard body shots that were followed by a jab and big right that forced Bracero to hold on and eventually fall to the canvas. When Bracero got to his feet, the fight was waved off at 1:30.
With the win, Baranchyk will look for another significant opportunity with a record of 20-1 with 13 knockouts.
“The Beast is back. This is my message for everybody,” said Baranchyk. “This is a good opponent, and I am back. I fought opponents that were dirtiier and I was prepared for that. Pedro Diaz is my guy as a trainer.”
Ceballo was fighting in front of a hometown crowd and continued his ascent of the prospect rankings as he was dominant in his surgical dissection of Amanov.

With the win, Ceballo, who was fighting for the 5th time in 2019, is now 11-0 with six-knockouts. Amanov loses for the 1st time and is now 16-1.
