4 ROUNDS; JOSELIZ CEPEDA/debut vs ALEX MENDEZ/debut
> 2 local Featherweights making their debut, both were highly skilled & aggressive however,
it was Mendez landing the more telling blows.
MENDEZ UD

4 ROUNDS; JUAN RODRIGUEZ/debut vs BOBBY BYNUM/debut
> This fight was a mismatch from the bell, at 1:11 of round 1 a long overhand left by Rodriguez dislodges the mouthpiece into the first row,
Bynums head nearly followed it before it hit the canvas for good.
RODRIGUEZ KO1

4 ROUNDS; TYREE ROBERTS/debut vs TYRONE MILES/1-1
ROBERTS: 4x NJ Golden Gloves Champion/Police Officer/3 year layoff before deciding to fight pro at 27
> One of the best 4 rounders I’ve seen.
Miles used his reach and superior jab to squeak out a draw on one card, but not the fight.
ROBERTS MD

4 ROUNDS; EDDIE EDMUNDS/0-0-1 vs MARIO FISHER/0-2
> The “1 foot” height advantage for Edmund was nearly absent for the 1st half of the bout,
as Fisher grew tired – Edmunds arms gained momentum and got longer and stronger.
EDMUNDS UD

6 ROUNDS; ANTONIO ESPINOSA/11-0 vs FLORIANO PAGLIARA/9-3
> This fight was close all the way through, Espinosa was the sharper of the two until ROUND 4 when he morphed into a track-star & refused to mix it up anymore,
by the final bell the decision was up in the air.
PAGLARIA MD

8 ROUNDS; JEREMY BRYAN/12-0 vs DARREN FALLEN/12-4-1
BRYAN: Malignaggi’s sparring partner all month for his upcoming fight with Diaz
> The fight was relatively close until a “top-of-the-head” shot drops Fallen to his knees with a few seconds left in ROUND 1, the fight switched “cat chase mouse” in ROUND 2 leading to 2 further knock-downs for Bryan, finally at 2:35 of the 2nd round Fallens corner has seen enough.
BRYAN TKO2
