Heavyweight prospect Mike Balogun remained unbeaten late Friday night, knocking out Sergio Ramirez Marin at the Garden Theatre in Detroit, Michigan.

DiBella Entertainment’s acclaimed Broadway Boxing series makes its debut in the Motor City on Friday, April 15, at Garden Theater in Detroit. The event, promoted by DiBella Entertainment and Lee Baxter Promotions, presented by Nissan of Queens, will be streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS, starting at 8:30pm ET / 5:30pm PT.

In his return to ShoBox: The New Generation, Saul Sanchez scored a first-round knockout to topple unbeaten rising star Ja’Rico O’Quinn in stunning fashion on SHOWTIME Friday night in front of an enthusiastic outdoor crowd on Main Street of the Rose District in downtown Broken Arrow, Okla.

Saul ‘The Beast’ Sanchez lived up to his pre-fight promise of not allowing matters to go to the scorecards. A statement-making performance was offered by the streaking bantamweight, who scored a stunning first-round knockout of unbeaten Ja’Rico O’Quinn in their ShoBox main event. Sanchez floored O’Quinn three times in forcing the stoppage at 1:58 of round one Friday evening at Central Park Community Center in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

Bantamweight Saul Sanchez has been able to bounce back from a setback earlier in his career. A win over an unbeaten prospect could lead him down toward contender status in a very competitive division.

Bantamweight contender Saul Sanchez has gained a greater sense of maturity since suffering the only loss of his career a few years ago. This is according to Alex Camponovo, who believes Sanchez has also become a more well-rounded fighter as well.

Saul Sanchez refuses to be defined by the lone loss on his career. Four wins have followed a narrow split decision defeat to Edwin Rodriguez in their August 2019 clash, with this Friday marking the third time in four fights where Sanchez fights outside of his home state of California. This weekend’s trek leads him to the Midwest against his most established opponent to date, as he faces unbeaten Jarico O’Quinn in a scheduled ten-round bantamweight battle atop a ShoBox card on Showtime from Central Park Community Center in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

Ja’Rico O’Quinn envisions Saul Sanchez learning quite quickly what Oscar Vasquez realized early in O’Quinn’s last fight. O’Quinn expects Sanchez to try to press him as soon as their 10-round bantamweight bout begins Friday night in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. The undefeated Detroit native also anticipates Sanchez having to abandon a game plan predicated on pressure once Sanchez recognizes that it won’t work in their “ShoBox: The New Generation” main event.
