Radio City Music Hall, New York City - Super featherweight banger Felix Verdejo (5-0, 4KOs) of Puerto Rico beat down Steve Gutierrez (4-4-1, 2KOs) with a big first round knockout. A series of hooks to the body sent Gurierrez down the first time and then Verdjejo unleashed a combo with a massive right hand that finished the job. Hot super middleweight prospect Jesse Hart (7-0, 5 KOs) drilled Marlon Farr (2-3) in three rounds. Several hard right hands sent Farr down to the mat in the third, with the second knockdown putting Farr down for the count.

On Saturday, January 19th in New York inside of Madison Square Garden, two of boxing’s rising stars moved forward with contrastingly different victories.

Verdejo, Monaghan, Tapia, Zewski Win in New York

•Jan 19, 2013

In the first fight of the evening on the undercard at Madison Square Garden, Ronald Ellis brought his record up to 7-0 with five knockouts with a workman-like unanimous decision against Steven Tyner, who dropped to 3-10-2 in a four-round bout at super middleweight. Both guys tossed bombs back and forth for most of the fight- either that or the microphone was particularly sensitive to every piece of noise in the ring. Ellis was the slicker and smoother fighter, even if Tyner did his best to keep up with Ellis and punch with him when the two got in close.

Glen Tapia got cut Saturday night for the first time in his four-year pro career. The undefeated junior-middleweight prospect also went the distance against Dashon Johnson in an eight-round fight TV Azteca didn’t air as planned. The 22-year-old Tapia realized, though, that his 16th professional fight still served its purpose in El Paso, Texas. After recording four straight knockouts, mostly against overmatched opposition, the Passaic, N.J., native got in some much-needed rounds against Johnson (13-8-3, 4 KOs), who has been stopped just once in 24 fights.
