Ryan Garcia won the WBC welterweight title with a dominant unanimous decision over Mario Barrios in a slow, one-sided 12-round main event. Garcia floored Barrios with a right hand in the first round and then controlled the fight with his jab and sharp counters while the champion failed to generate sustained offense. The scores were 120-107, 119-108 and 118-109, moving Garcia to 25-2 (20 KOs) and ending Barrios’ reign decisively.

WBA light welterweight champion Gary Antuanne Russell successfully defended his title with a unanimous decision over Andy Hiraoka in a fight that drew boos when the scores were read. Russell relied on footwork and quick counters to outbox Hiraoka over 12 rounds, while the challenger pressed forward and made several middle rounds close. The judges turned in scores of 117-110 and 116-111 twice, moving Russell to 19-1 (17 KOs) and handing Hiraoka his first loss at 24-1.

Frank Martin and Nahir Albright fought to a 10-round majority draw in a competitive super lightweight bout that shifted momentum late. Martin boxed well early, but Albright’s pressure and body work closed the fight strongly, and a brief stoppage in the 10th to replace his mouthpiece came while he was under attack. It seemed like a pointless timeout by the referee. The scores were 95-95 across the board, moving Martin to 19-1-1 (13 KOs) and Albright to 17-2-1 (7 KOs).

Super middleweight Bektemir Melikuziev earned a dominant unanimous decision over Sena Agbeko after controlling all ten rounds. Melikuziev used his left hand and body punching to break Agbeko down and keep him on the defensive throughout the fight. Melikuziev improves to 17-1 (10 KOs), while Agbeko absorbed heavy punishment but lasted the full distance.

Middleweight Amari Jones stayed unbeaten with a fourth-round stoppage of Luis Arias after controlling the fight from the opening bell. Jones scored an early knockdown and continued landing clean combinations, forcing Arias to remain on his stool at the end of round four. Jones improves to 16-0 (14 KOs) with the win, while Arias suffered only the second stoppage loss of his career.

Heavyweight Joshua Edwards kept his perfect record intact with a six-round unanimous decision over Brandon Colantonio. Edwards used his jab and size to control the pace, landing consistently while preventing Colantonio from mounting a meaningful offense, as all three judges scored it 60-54. The win moves Edwards to 6-0 (5 KOs), marking the first time he has gone the full distance as a pro.

Super featherweight Mohammed Alakel remained undefeated with a second-round stoppage of David Calabro. Alakel used his reach to control the action before dropping Calabro twice with left hooks to the body, forcing the referee to stop it at 2:27 of round two. Alakel improves to 8-0 (2 KOs), while Calabro could not recover after the sustained body attack.
