Milas Brutally KOs Shala in Final Round to Secure Victory

In a dramatic showdown, Petar Milas (now 20-1) scored a brutal knockout of Granit Shala (18 – 2) in the final round, but what’s puzzling is the fact that both DAZN Germany and the German press row had Shala ahead at that point. The fight had been competitive, with Shala finding success early on, landing powerful shots and seeming to control some of the earlier rounds. However, as the rounds wore on, Milas began to take charge with his superior footwork and consistent pressure.

The turning point came in Round 10, when Milas landed two devastating right hooks that sent Shala to the canvas twice, ultimately ending the fight. Milas’s power was evident as he closed the show in commanding fashion. Despite this, German observers had Shala ahead, which is a strange assessment considering how much Milas had controlled the latter stages of the bout.

Milas’s clear dominance in the final rounds, coupled with his ability to land accurate and powerful shots, should have left no doubt about the winner.

Herrera Scores Controversial TKO Victory Over Nunez

Jadier Herrera (17-0, 15 KOs) scored a controversial TKO victory over Ricardo Nunez (26-7, 22 KOs) in the 8th round, after struggling against a fighter who had previously faced Gervonta “Tank” Davis. The fight was filled with wild exchanges, with Nunez rocking Herrera in the earlier rounds, but Herrera responded with hard shots. In the 8th, the referee stopped the bout after Herrera pushed him down while trading punches with Nunez. The stoppage was seen as premature, and Herrera’s celebration seemed out of place for such a questionable win.

Herrera secured the vacant WBC interim lightweight title, but many ringside observers questioned whether he’s prepared for elite competition like Shakur Stevenson.

Roman Fury (6-0, 3 KOs) secured a one-sided victory over Kevin Greenwood (6-12, 1 KO) in their heavyweight clash, forcing the referee to stop the fight in the fourth round. Fury dominated throughout, with his sharp left hand and well-timed body shots taking control early. Greenwood attempted to pressure Fury but was consistently met with quick counters, struggling to close the distance. In the third round, Fury’s combinations, including a right hook and left hand, had Greenwood’s head snapping back and left him increasingly vulnerable.

Despite Greenwood’s attempts to launch offense, Fury’s footwork and defense kept him safe while landing scoring punches. Fury’s dominance continued, and in the fourth, a flurry of punches forced the referee to intervene, giving Fury the TKO victory. Greenwood was not in immediate danger, but the referee stopped the fight due to the one-sided nature of the fight.

Tiafack Stops Cwik in the Second Round

Nelvie Tiafack (now 3 0, 3 KOs) began the second round with his strong jab, building on the success from the opening round. He landed a clean body shot followed by a short left hook.

A sharp right hand followed by another solid shot had Cwik in trouble.

Tiafack then unleashed a flurry of punches, sending Cwik to the canvas. Cwik barely managed to get back to his feet, but with no response to Tiafack’s barrage, the referee stepped in and stopped the fight with 1:30 remaining in the second round.
