Seven notable boxing cards took place this weekend, including four women’s title fights, and a big upset in Tijuana, Mexico.
Super middleweight contender Jaime Munguia, who was making his fourth appearance this year, was knocked out by Bruno Surace in the sixth round with an incredible right hook to the chin Saturday night. Munguia tried to get up but was counted out by the referee.
Surace (26-0-2, 5 KOs), who was fighting for the first time outside of France, went down in Round 2 and was in trouble most of the fight until he landed that heavy right hand to get the win. Munguia (44-2, 35 KOs), who defeated Erik Bazinyan by KO in September to rebound from his loss to Canelo Alvarez in May, has now lost two of his last three fights after starting his career with 43 consecutive victories.
On Saturday in Ontario, California, Alexis Rocha (25-2-1, 16 KOs) and Raul Curiel (15-0-1, 13 KOs), two of the most exciting fighters in the welterweight division, fought to a majority draw, with scorecards of 116-112 for Rocha, 114-114 and 114-114.
Also on Saturday, in Liverpool, Natasha Jonas defeated Ivana Habazin by unanimous decision to unify the IBF and WBC women’s welterweight titles. Jonas (16-2-1, 9 KOs) won by scorecards of 96-92, 99-91 and 100-90, securing another unification fight against against WBA champion Lauren Price (8-0, 2 KOs), who stopped Bexcy Mateus in the co-main event.
In Monte Carlo, Monaco, also on Saturday, Beatriz Ferreira (6-0, 2 KOs) defended her IBF women’s lightweight title with a one-sided unanimous decision against Licia Boudersa (23-3-2, 4 KOs) with scorecards of 100-90, 100-90 and 100-90).
On Friday, in Sydney, Australia, Desley Robinson (9-3, 3 KOs) defeated Kaye Scott (4-1) by unanimous decision to win the vacant IBF middleweight title. Robinson (9-3, 3KOs), of Queensland, Australia, won by scorecards of 97-93, 97-93 and 98-92.
