(MAY 28) TUCSON, Arizona
- Last night, nine-time world title challenger Simone Da Silva
registered the most significant victory of her pro boxing
career, stunning Ikram Kerwat in the first female main event
ever streamed live on RJJ Boxing on UFC Fight PassŪ, at Casino
Del Sol's outdoor AVA Amphitheater in Tucson, Arizona.
DaSilva, fighting out of Brazil, out-boxed her Tunisian
opponent, the Germany-based, Roy Jones, Jr.-trained Kerwat (9-2,
5 KOs), en route to a one-sided 10-round decision (100-90,
99-91, 98-92).
In the co-featured event, rising Las Vegas star Max "The Baby
Face Assassin" Ornelas (13-0-1, 5 KOs) kept his unbeaten pro
record intact, stopping veteran Mexican super bantamweight Alex
"Xhino" Rangel (17-10-4, 4 KOs) in the opening round. The
21-year-old Ornelas, a criminal justice major at the University
of Nevada at Las Vegas, is the reigning North American Boxing
Association (NABA) United States bantamweight champion.
In a Special Welterweight Attraction, Tucson's Alfonso Olvera
(11-5-3, 4 KOs) and San Antonio's Carlos "Silk" Villa (14-3-2, 6
KOs) battled to a six-round split draw.
A middleweight match between undefeated Arizona prospects,
Tucson's Nicholas Rhoads (5-0-1, 2 KOs) and Eduardo Ayala
(4-0-1, 1 KO), ended in a four-round split draw.
Off-FIGHT PASS in the first fight of the night, undefeated
Kazakhstan super welterweight Madiyar Asjkeyev (12-0, 6 KOs),
fighting out of Oxnard, California, out-classed Maryland's Cecil
McCalla (21-4, 8 KOs) for a 10-round unanimous decision to
capture the vacant North American Boxing Federation (NABF) super
welterweight crown.
In a battle of Tucson middleweights, Jose "Raging Bull" Pena
(3-1, 1 KO) won a four-round unanimous decision over Arturo
Resendiz (2-1, 2 KOs).
