Lorenzo Parra KO’s Elijah Pierce At Turning Stone Resort

Right hands on the ropes end it at 1:44 of round two

Lorenzo Parra stops Elijah Pierce by second-round knockout at Turning Stone Resort & Casino, finishing the fight at 1:44 after trapping him along the ropes. The stoppage earns Parra a minor featherweight belt and places him in the world-title picture at 126 pounds.

Parra, 24-1-1 (18 KOs), entered the ring days after the passing of his father and fought with controlled aggression from the opening bell. Pierce, 21-3 (17 KOs), started sharply. The 29-year-old southpaw landed straight left hands to the body in the first round and used his reach to keep Parra at range.

Parra made the adjustment in the second. He began stepping inside the jab, slipping to his left and closing distance behind his own lead hand. Once he backed Pierce to the ropes, he set his feet and let the combinations rip from the floor up.

A right hand high on the head froze Pierce. Two more clean shots followed in tight. Pierce went unresponsive against the ropes, forcing referee Ricky Gonzalez to step in immediately.

Pierce looked sharp early and invested to the body with purpose. Parra stayed patient, tightened his guard, and waited for the opening to commit fully.

The knockout snaps Pierce’s 12-fight winning streak. He entered the bout rated No. 2 by both the WBA and WBO at featherweight. That ranking gives weight to Parra’s finish and positions him for bigger opportunities.

Crumel Moton With Second-round TKO after Flores fails to answer bell for third round

Curmel Moton stops Wilfredo Flores by second-round technical knockout Saturday night at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York, when Flores did not return for round three. The win moves Moton to 9-0 and delivers his first victory in a bout scheduled for 10 rounds.

Moton set the tone early. He stepped behind a firm jab, closed the gap, and forced Flores toward the ropes within the first minute. Once in range, he worked the body with both hands and brought straight punches back upstairs, keeping his feet under him and punching in tight combinations.

Flores had more professional experience and looked to counter in spots, but he spent long stretches backing up. Moton did not give him space. He stayed chest to chest at times, dug to the midsection, then came back with short hooks and straight rights as Flores tried to cover up.

The second round followed the same pattern. Moton pressed forward, mixed levels, and pushed Flores into the corner. The punches came in clusters, body to head, with Flores offering little in return. The referee stepped in late in the round as Flores shelled up along the ropes and stopped punching back.

Effective aggression decided the finish.

After the bell, Flores remained on his stool while his corner spoke with officials. He did not answer the call for the third round, and the bout was ruled a second-round TKO.

The fight was scheduled at welterweight or super lightweight and marked Moton’s first appearance in a contest set for 10 rounds. It ended quickly, yet the performance showed his ability to carry his power and workrate into deeper waters if required. With seven knockouts in nine fights, Moton continues his early climb in a division that demands consistent pressure and disciplined punch selection.
