Brooklyn native and heavyweight boxer Pryce Taylor kept his undefeated streak alive after defeating Isaac Munoz in a near-shutout 10-round unanimous decision victory in the main event of Wynn Records Networks\u2019 debut event from San Juan, Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n
Taylor, who holds a 13-0 record with eight knockouts, controlled the fight for all 10 rounds. The 6-foot-4 boxer leaned on his height and reach advantage to break down Munoz, who has an 18-3- 1 record with 15 knockouts. He won the bout with the judges scoring it 98-92, 98-92, and 97-93.<\/p>\n
Taylor, who remained confident and collected throughout the bout, seemingly scored a knockdown in the final seconds of the sixth round with a sweeping overhand left. Yet, referee Roberto Ramirez did not recognize the knockdown.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fight would have gone differently if they called the knockdown,\u201d Taylor said post-fight. \u201cIf you\u2019re being supported by the ropes, that\u2019s a knockdown. If it was called, it would have made him want to fight harder so he could win.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI want all the fighters. Efe Ajagba, I see you on the bench. Come off the bench and fight me. Kingsley Ibeh, I\u2019m going to take you out. All the fighters, Daniel DuBois, Anthony Joshua, I want the smoke.\u201d<\/p>\n
The five-fight broadcast was promoted by Universal Promotions and Salita Promotions in association with Wynn Records and was the first in a long-term partnership between Salita and Wynn that will develop and test some of boxing\u2019s most promising prospects.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was an incredible night of boxing in Puerto Rico,\u201d President of Salita Promotions Dmitriy Salita said. \u201cFrom the opening bell of the first fight to the final round of the main event, the fans were treated to competitive, action-packed matchups.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis event reflected exactly what Salita Promotions is committed to delivering \u2014 meaningful fights, rising stars, and unforgettable nights of boxing.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
