Rodriguez stays unbeaten

Pryor, Johnson also victorious

Exciting super middleweight Edwin “La Bomba” Rodriguez (17-0, 13 KOs) scored a ninth round stoppage of James McGirt Jr. (22-3-1, 11 KOs) at Scheels Arena in Fargo, North Dakota. Rodriguez was the aggressor the entire fight, forcing McGirt to keep his guard up trying to fend off Rodriguez’ relentless power shots. Referee Mark Nelson finally waved it off at 1:57 of the ninth after imploring McGirt to “show me something” between rounds.

The co-feature was a super middleweight clash between the sons of 80s boxing stars Aaron Pryor and Howard Davis Jr. with Aaron Pryor Jr. (15-2, 11 KOs) winning a clear eight round unanimous decision over Dyah Davis (18-2, 9 KOs). Scores were 79-73, 79-73, 78-74.

Unbeaten light heavyweight Marcus “Too Much” Johnson (20-0, 15 KOs) scored a third round TKO over Kevin “The Hitman” Engel (18-4, 15 KOs). Johnson dropped Engel twice in round three and referee Mark Nelson waved it off at the end of round three.

Viloria, Mayol triumph

Ex-world champion and current WBO #1 flyweight Brian Viloria (28-2, 16 KOs) dropped Liempetch Sor Veerapol (19-8-1, 12 KOs) twice en route to a seventh round TKO in a non-title fight Friday night at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City, Philippines. Viloria is now eying a shot at WBO flyweight champion Julio Cesar “Pingo” Miranda.

In other action, former WBC 108lb champion Rodel Mayol (27-5-2, 21 KOs) stopped Pompetch Twins Gym (14-3, 4 KOs) in round seven of a flyweight bout.

WBA #14 Jr flyweight Denver Cuello (25-4-6, 15 KOs) prepped for his November 27 title shot against WBA champ Giovanni Segura with a first round blowout of Kongkrai Kiatpracha (17-12, 11 KOs).

In a battle of unbeaten lightweights, Al Sabaupan (14-0-1, 10 KOs) outpointed Arnel Donal (10-1-1, 4 KOs) over ten rounds.

JM Cotto hammers Henry

Welterweight Jose Miguel Cotto (32-2, 24 KOs) punished late sub Chris “Shaka” Henry (22-21, 17 KOs) until the bout was stopped in round four on Friday night at the Coliseo Cosme Beitia Catano in Catano, Puerto Rico. The 5’6 younger brother of boxing superstar Miguel Cotto knocked down the six-foot tall journeyman Henry in round two and dominated the fight from start to end. Time of the stoppage was 1:19. Henry replaced Cotto’s original opponent Oscar Leon on short notice after leon was forced to withdraw from the fight because of visa issues.

In the co-feature, featherweight Jesus Rojas (16-1, 12 KOs) scored a second round knockdown against veteran Reynaldo Lopez (30-9, 22 KOs), but was forced to go the full scheduled six to take a split decision. The 36-year-old Lopez was clearly the fresher at the end. Scores were 59-54, 59-54 Rojas, 57-56 Lopez.
