i was reading and I learned that Fres Oquendo had fought MMA fighter and former UFC Heavyweight Champion, Andrei Arlovski in a 5 round boxing exhibition back in February of this year
Here were the articles:

Arlovski went on to win the match, Arlovski dropped Fres twice during the boxing match and eventually won a one sided decision.
But it dont matter, Arlovski trains his standup with Freddie Roach
just was surprising to see,
Arlovski and Fres know each other though, heres a clip of Arlovski and Fres sparring, (not their exhibition match, but Arlovski does seem to beat up Fres in the standup)
arlovski is in the black shirt, fres is in the white
AND for those who don't know who this guy is, this is him:
Arlovski training with Freddie Roach:
Arlovski is set to begin his professional boxing career. He was supposed to have his first official professional boxing match in 2009, but that fell through. He is still however going to pursue the career in Boxing, rather than Mixed Martial Arts.
Here is a video of some of the MMA fights he has (it's mostly striking as he is a stand up fighter, which is why they are saying he will have success in boxing), anyway, here are some of his knockouts
