Super featherweight Jan Paul Rivera-Pizarro (17-0, 7 KOs) defeated Abraham Perfecto Valdez (14-3, 9 KOs) by unanimous decision over ten rounds. All three judges scored the fight 99-89 for Rivera-Pizarro.
The Puerto Rican scored a knockdown in the second round, establishing an early lead that Valdez never threatened. Rivera-Pizarro controlled the action with cleaner punching and a steady work rate, preventing the taller Mexican from building momentum. Valdez struggled to establish his offense and spent much of the contest being outworked.
Despite the early knockdown, Valdez lasted the distance as Rivera-Pizarro continued collecting rounds through the final bell. It was a comfortable victory for Rivera-Pizarro against an opponent coming off a fourth-round stoppage loss to Leonardo Sanchez.
Tristan Kalkreuth (18-1, 13 KOs) stopped previously unbeaten Ivan Rosado (12-1, 9 KOs) at 0:44 of the third round in cruiserweight action. Kalkreuth used his height and reach to control the scheduled ten-round fight, leaving the shorter Rosado struggling to get his offense going.
The 24-year-old pressed the action and overwhelmed Rosado with his power. Rosado could not adequately defend himself as Kalkreuth continued the attack early in round three. The referee stepped in with Rosado still on his feet, ending a one-sided contest. Rosado’s unbeaten record offered little protection against the larger Kalkreuth, who dictated the fight throughout.
Heavyweight Joshua Edwards (8-0, 7 KOs) stopped Craig Lewis (15-10-1, 8 KOs) at the start of the third round of their scheduled eight-round bout. The 2024 U.S. Olympian controlled the action against the 42-year-old veteran, forcing him onto the defensive.
Edwards landed a combination late in the second round that hurt Lewis and brought the fight toward its finish. Lewis could not continue because of an injury, prompting the stoppage at the beginning of round three. The injury’s exact nature was not specified in the early ringside account. Edwards needed just two completed rounds to register his seventh stoppage victory.
Grant Flores (14-0, 10 KOs) stopped Mikey Dahlman (19-3, 17 KOs) in the second round of their scheduled eight-round light middleweight bout. Flores controlled the action with his size and punching power, putting the veteran under pressure early.
A hard left hook to the liver hurt Dahlman badly in round two and opened the door for the finish. Flores followed with a sustained attack as Dahlman struggled to recover from the body shot. With Dahlman unable to halt the assault, the referee stepped in to stop the fight. The 21-year-old Flores needed fewer than two rounds to secure his tenth knockout.
Minimumweight Naomy Valle (16-1, 9 KOs) defeated Sheyla Moreno Castillo (5-2-1) by unanimous decision over eight rounds in her professional U.S. debut. The judges scored it 78-73, 78-72, and 77-74 for Valle. Valle controlled most of the early action with her jab and right hand, landing the cleaner punches as Moreno pressed forward.
A right hand in the third round hurt Moreno, but the Mexican fighter kept coming and made Valle work throughout. The final two rounds became scrappier, with Valle losing a point in the eighth for excessive holding after repeated warnings. The deduction came too late to threaten Valle’s lead, which she had built through her more accurate punching over the first six rounds.
