(JAN 4) On Saturday night at
the American Airlines Center, in Dallas, Texas, USA, there were
nine fights featured on the Golden Boy Promotions Card. In
the only female bout scheduled on this card featured Franchon
Crews-Dezurn vs. Ashleigh Curry. At the weigh-in prior to
this fight taking place, Curry came in heavy over the contract
weight. Franchon weighed in at 171¼, and Curry came in at
176¼.
The weight apparently made no
difference as Franchon won the eight round bout by a unanimous
decision with the final scoring of 80-72 on all
scorecards. Franchon moved her record to 7-1-0 (2KO), and
Curry slipped to 8-14-4 (1KO).
In the main event of the evening
in a scheduled 12 round Interim WBC World title bout,
lightweight Ryan Garcia, 135, remained undefeated when he KO'd
Luke Campbell, 135, in the seventh round. In this non-stop
action packed bout, Garcia went down in the second round by the
Southpaw Campbell throwing a left, landing Garcia on the canvass
for the first time as a pro, and it apparently woke Garcia up by
the surprise knockdown and immediately took command throughout
most of the bout when he KO'd Campbell in the seventh round,
where when Campbell went down to the canvass he failed to get
back up from a kneeling position. The very young Garcia,
at just 22 years old, improved his boxing record to 21-0-0
(18KO), and 33-year old Campbell, fell to 20-4-0 (16KO).
Other bouts on
the card:
Roger Gutierrez, 129½, won by a
12-round unanimous decision over Rene Alvarado, 129¼.
Alvarado was knocked down twice in the in the third round by
Gutierrez, and once in the 12th round which gave Gutierrez the
edge in winning this bout. Final Judges scores were
112-113 on all score cards. Gutierrez became the new WBA Super
Featherweight title holder.
Light flyweight
Felix Alvarado, 107¼, won by a tenth round TKO in a 12-rounder
for the IBF Light Flyweight world title over DeeJay Kriel, 107¼.
Alvarado was just too strong for Kriel, whereas Kriel went down
in rounds two and four.

Ramses Agaton, in a scheduled eight round bout. In this
action-packed bout, Curiel was the aggressor from the

it showed this night in his fight with Agaton.
