Marlon Harrington made short work of yet another opponent Thursday, blasting out Bryan Polaco at the War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Marking the return to the ring of Aguas Buenas favorite Yomar “The Magic” Alamo (20-2-1, 12 KO's), Universal Promotions will present “UP Boxing Series: Return of The Magic” to take place on Saturday, February 24 at the Samuel “Sammy” Rodríguez Coliseum in Aguas Buenas.

Cesar Juarez put an end to the Cinderella story enjoyed by Dennis Contreras. The summer season finale of Boxeo Telemundo saw Mexico City’s Juarez turn around his career in a big way, overpowering his countryman en route to a ten-round, unanimous decision victory. Scores were 97-93, 96-94 and 96-94 in favor of Juarez in their entertaining featherweight slugfest Friday evening at White Sands Events Center in Plant City, Florida.

Hairon Socarras has made his way back to the ring and to the win column. The Miami-based Cuban featherweight had his way with late-assigned foe Julio Buitrago, stopping the fleshy Nicaraguan in the 3rd round of their curtain raiser Friday evening at Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida.

Bryan Polaco and Omar Rosario both opted to turn pro during an originally designated Olympic year for the purpose of remaining active. Their handlers are more than doing their part to live up to that promise. The pair of amateur standouts and rookie prospects will both appear in separate bouts on the fall season premiere of Boxeo Telemundo, which takes place October 2 at Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida.

Bryan Polaco continues to sharpen his tools in the pro ranks while preparing for the biggest stage of his amateur career. The four-time Puerto Rico national champion and the island's best shot at medalling in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics improved to 2-0 (2KOs) in the pro ranks following a 1st round knockout of Joshua Sikes. Two knockdowns produced the fight's end at 1:24 of the opening round of their Telemundo-televised junior middleweight contest Friday evening at Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida.

Marques Valle waited eight months before finally making his pro debut but didn’t waste any time once he arrived on stage. The former amateur standout and blue chip welterweight stopped Jernato Harris in the 1st round of their preliminary bout Friday evening at Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida.

All boxers but one did their part at the scale to ensure that the summer season finale of Boxeo Telemundo moves forward without issue. Antonio Moran and Luis Solis collide in a scheduled 10-round welterweight clash atop Friday’s show live on Telemundo (12:00 am ET) from Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida. Both boxers weighed in right at the contracted weight of 143 pounds.

The pro journey for Bryan Polaco now includes an official promoter to go along with his first career win. All-Star Boxing Inc. put ink to paper in signing the four-time Puerto Rico national amateur champion to a promotional deal. The move comes immediately after Polaco enjoyed his successful pro debut, scoring a 1st round knockout on Friday’s summer season premiere of Boxeo Telemundo at Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida.

The summer season premiere of Boxeo Telemundo featured a different look beyond the ropes but a satisfying result for Ricardo Espinoza. A dominant performance was turned in by the Tijuana slugger who was extended the distance for the first time in nearly three years. It was welcomed in the end as he outpointed previously unbeaten Brandon Valdes over 10 rounds Friday evening in front of a crowdless Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida.
