Late sub Mamadjonov outlanded the previously undefeated Santana nearly 2-1 in total punches after getting dropped in round two by a jab.

Post-fight quotes from ShoBox televised event at Teasure Island Casino in Las Vegas. Baha Mamadjonov: “One week notice and I win by that kind of knockout. The first couple of rounds he (Angelo Santana) was difficult to figure out but once I did I just got more aggressive. The hard work paid off. I came to the United States to be a champion. I want to win a world title and this was the first step. I’m just starting. It’s going to be one belt at a time. “Santana hits really hard and I respect him but I could see he was getting tired in the sixth round after I hit him with a body shot.” Angelo Santana: “The referee stopped the fight. I tell you I was still in it. I landed two big left hands earlier in the round. We were in a good fight and it should have continued. Nothing against Baha, he’s a good fighter, but I want a rematch.

Marcus Oliveira took one step closer to the WBA light heavyweight title by defeating Ryan Coyne via knockout. The stoppage occurred at the 1:15 mark of the 11th round. Through 8 rounds the fighters traded winning rounds and neither could establish their dominance but Oliveira's advantage in power was evident. Coyne didn't have enough to keep his opponent off of him. Olveira got stronger as the fight went on and staggered Coyne in the 10th round. Coyne went down early in the 11th but rose to his feet just before the 10 count. He was out on his feet though and dint respond to a flurry of punches prompting referee Jay Nady to stop the fight.
