Lightweights Michael Perez (18-1-2, 10 KO’s) and Lonnie Smith (14-4-3, 10 KO’s) fought to a disappointing majority draw after the fight was stopped in the seventh round on an accidental head butt incurred by Perez. Perez knocked down Smith in the second round on a left uppercut but Smith rebounded nicely to tighten up the scorecards. Scores were 67-65 for Perez with two identical scores of 66-66.




Junior middleweight Eddie Gomez (13-0, 9 KO’s) badly wobbled then stopped Javier Gomez (14-11, 10 KO’s) in the first round of a scheduled six. Javier went down after being rocked on the end of a left hook. He rose on unsteady legs and referee Arthur Mercante Jr. initially let the action continue but then promptly changed his mind before any further punches were exchanged, stopping the fight at the 1:17 mark.

Former Olympian Marcus Browne easily dispatched Josh Thorpe in a light heavyweight fight. Thorpe went down in the first, rose to his feet but absorbed a few body punches after taking the original count, prompting the referee to call a halt with 18 seconds left in the round. Staten Island’s Browne is now 3-0 with 3 KO’s. Thorpe is 1-3.



Junior middleweight Frank Galarza (9-0-1, 5 KO’s) knocked Guillermo Ibarra (7-2, 4 KO’s) around the ring for two rounds before stopping him with a single body punch. Referee Arthur Mercante Jr. waved the fight off after Ibarra went down on the shot, his second knockdown in the round after previously touching the canvas on the end of a strong combination. Time of the stoppage was 2:19.



Junior featherweight Claude Staten Jr. won his professional debut with a four-round unanimous decision against Mike Hill. Staten knocked down Hill (0-2) in the first round. All three judges scored the bout a shut-out at 40-35.



In a cruiserweight fight, Steve Bujaj had his hands full in winning a four-round unanimous decision against Zeferino Albino. Bujaj (9-0, 6 KO’s) controlled the pace of the bout from the outside but Albino (4-16-3, 2 KO’s) fought better than his record suggested and made Bujaj work for the win. All three judges scored the fight 40-36.
