Polish-born, former light heavyweight (175 pounds) and cruiserweight (200 pounds) champion, Tomasz Adamek, earned Saturday night's 12-round, unanimous decision over former U.S. Olympian, Jason Estrada, for his ninth straight win, and his second victory as a heavyweight before a partisan crowd in at the Prudential Center in Neward, N.J.
A 33-year-old Jersey City resident, Adamek (pictured at right) rose to 40-1, with 27 knockouts, even as he failed to earn his second straight KO of a heavyweight.
Venezuelan-born, WBC lightweight (135 pounds) king, Edwin Valero entered Saturday night's second defense of his crown against WBC interim titlist Antonio DeMarco of Mexico hoping not only to earn his 27th career knockout in as many victories without a loss, but to also do so impressively.
From the opening bell, however, the Showtime-televised bout hardly went as the 28-year-old champion had anticipated.
The 24-year-old DeMarco literally drew first blood when a hard left hand opened a cut beneath Valero's right eye.
And in the second round, DeMarco's left elbow grazed the oncoming Valero's forehead, opening a deep, gaping gash over the right side of the titlist's noggin -- as well as one that was sliced directly onto the champion's right eyelid -- from which blood spilled freely throughout the evening.
FanHouse has a live, round-by-round update of Edwin Valero scoring his 27th knockout in as man victories without a loss over Antonio DeMarco when DeMarco failed to come out for the 10th round, resulting in Valero's second defense of his WBC lightweight (135 pounds) title on Saturday night in a bout televised on Showtime from Arena Monterrey in Monterrey, Mex..
Valero improved to 27-0, and DeMarco dropped to 23-2-1, with 17 KOs, ending his 12-fight winning streak and his run of 15-0-1.
Their main event clash of southpaws will start at around 10 p.m. ET.
Once-beaten, Freddy Hernandez used a short, over hand right to the jaw that stiffened the legs and body of southpaw rival, DeMarcus Corley, who fell to his back and briefly lay motionless as referee Pat Russell got down on one knee and waved an end to a fifth-round, Showtime-televised knockout win at the Chumash Casino in Santa Ynez, Calif.
Corley (at right, being punched by Hernandez) pin-wheeled his arms before going down from the head-swiveling blow by the 30-year-old Hernandez, whose welterweight (147-pounds) victory came at the 1 minute, 48-second mark, earning the winner's 19th career stoppage, and improving his record to 28-1.
