Undercard Coverage & Event Notes

Kell Brook vs. Luis Galarza

Kell Brook made his debut in the United States and looked to impress as he continues to climb the rankings and angle himself for a big fight. He came out strong in the first , and all of his advantages were immediately seen – speed, power, skill… basically an advantage in every department. Brook almost scored a knockdown at the end of the first but Galarza was saved by the bell.

Galarza had a few moments in the second round, hitting Brook with flush shots. But Brook had him hurt  and backed him into the ropes where he poured on the pressure and connected solidly.

Brook was super confident in there, and worked behind his jab. He stayed in the pocket, made Galarza miss, then lit him up and had his way with him. He hurt him multiple times along the ropes in the fourth, but couldn’t get Galarza down.

In the fifth, Galarza had his best moments, coming out aggressive with good pressure. But Brook caught him once again and got him against the ropes, and the referee called it there. It seemed to be a quick stoppage, but at the same time, Galarza was outgunned and had no chance of winning the fight.

Yordanis Despaigne vs. Cornelius White

In an intriguing battle between two one-loss veterans, Cornelius White was able to control more of the action in a bloody, hard-hitting affair against Yordanis Despaigne. White put in some great body work during the evening, and in the final stanza, staggered a gassed Despaigne several times to seal the deal.

The official judges scorecards read 60-53, 59-55 and 59-55 all in his favor for a unanimous decision win.

Edison Miranda vs. Kariz Kariuki

Edison Miranda scored a 5th round TKO win over Kariuki. He was dictating the action throughout the evening, although it was a fairly slow pace.

He sent Kariuki careening to the canvas in the 5th with a monster shot, and then didn’t have to follow up with much as Kariuki couldn’t get it together to continue and the referee waved off the contest.

Bowie Tupou vs. Donnell Holmes

Tupou took home a unanimous decision over Holmes in a fight with both guys getting rocked and gassed by the end of the night
