Aloys Jr vs Ellis Zorro

In the chief support fight, Aloys Jr (11-1, 9 KOs) faced Ellis Zorro (18-3, 7 KOs) in a cruiserweight clash. It was a mostly cagey opening round with Zorro looking to establish his jab. Aloys Jr outworked Zorro for much of the first few rounds. Zorro didn’t do enough to take any of the early rounds, but did work well off his jab at times.

Zorro had his best round in the fourth, controlling the distance well and picking his punches impressively. As the fight reached the halfway point, Zorro began to set his feet and throw some heavier shots, looking the sharper fighter. Aloys Jr looked frustrated in the ninth, with Zorro using his jab and moving well. Aloys Jr continued to struggle to land his normal heavy punches.

Aloys was the aggressor, but was the quality of his work enough? No real change came in the last round, with Aloys following Zorro around, who looked comfortable. The work rate of the “The Animal” was seemingly enough for him to win the last round. It’s not been a great watch, making it a challenging fight to score. The judges’ scorecards read 96-94, 98-93 and 97-93, all in favour of Aloys Jr, who won the WBC international cruiserweight title.

Tony Curtis Jr vs Charles Tondo

Tondo had his best moment in the fourth round, backing up Curtis Jr on the ropes and letting hands go. Curtis Jr continued to box and move. The fan in me wanted him to do more and let his shots go. However, it’s a performance that showed promise, and with the backing of Roy Jones Jr, Curtis could go far. The referee’s scorecard read 59-55 in favour of Curtis.

Hassan Ishaq vs Brandon Gallardo Vargas

Next up in the bantamweight division was the 2x national amateur champion Hassan Ishaq (1-0, 1 KO), making his professional debut against Brandon Gallardo Vargas (3-8-1, 1 KO). It was a terrific start from Ishaq, who showed poise and picked his shots well while moving his feet. The domination continued in the second round, where his timing and accuracy stood out. Another flurry of punches came in the third, and the referee soon waved the fight off. Yes, not the greatest opposition, but that was an impressive performance from the 21-year-old, who showed power and variation.

Abubaker had his moments, yet Fail impressed with his movement and sharp counterpunching. The champion enjoyed a strong end to round three, with Fail against the ropes.

By the middle rounds, Abubaker’s pressure remained constant, while Fail continued to pick his shots smartly. Despite nearly two years out of the ring, Fail showed very little ring rust. In the eighth round, Fail stunned Abubaker with a left hook and capitalised with a series of well-placed shots that dropped the champion. The referee waved it off, sealing an impressive, well-rounded performance from Carl Fail.

Bevan upped the tempo in the third round, landing hurtful combinations to the head and body. Bule, the Bosnian-born fighter, could only respond with wild right hands that missed the mark. Midway through the round, Bevan scored a knockdown. Although Bule beat the count, the referee waved it off, awarding Bevan a TKO victory.
