In his first bout in almost a year, Dmitriy “Star Of David” Salita improved to 28-0-1 (16 KO’s) with a fifth round destruction of Mexican Fabian Luque 21-7-4 (12 KO’s). Salita went to work quickly and sent Luque to the canvas in the first round with a straight right hand just seconds before the bell rang. Salita then used an excellent jab in the second and third rounds, while making his opponent look foolish by missing wild shots. Salita dropped Luque with a jab in the fourth round although Luque appeared to slip. Salita was penalized one point later in the round for a low blow. The Brooklyn native closed the show in the fifth by dropping the smiling Luque then landing a few more shots as he rose from the knockdown forcing referee Benji Esteves to stop the contest 45 seconds into the round.
