Raul Garcia withstood a fierce barrage in the dying seconds to hang the first loss on the record of Emiliano Moreno on Saturday in Kissimmee, Florida.

Jeremy Hill returned home to collect the best win of his career. The hard-luck lightweight prevailed in an in-state grudge match versus Mark Davis, whom Hill stopped in the fourth-round. A looping right hand by Hill rocked Davis, who was floored by the ensuing valley. Referee Terry Boudreaux ended his count early to stop the contest at 1:30 of round four in the opening bout of the DAZN main card Saturday from Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Regis Prograis soaked in the last taste of pre-fight ambiance before he performs on familiar soil. The two-time and reigning WBC junior welterweight titlist was a lean and ready 139 pounds for his long overdue homecoming appearance. The occasion also marks Prograis’ first defense of his second title reign which comes versus Puerto Rico’s Danielito Zorrilla, who was also 139 pounds for their scheduled 12-round DAZN main event Saturday from Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.

LAS VEGAS – Raymond Muratalla accomplished something Saturday night that none of Jeremy Hill’s first 18 opponents could do. The rising lightweight prospect knocked out Hill in the third round of their scheduled eight-rounder on the non-televised

LAS VEGAS – Oscar Valdez stood stone-faced and didn’t utter a word when Shakur Stevenson stood before him on a stage Friday at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Jeremy Hill is not wasting any time getting back in the ring. The lightweight prospect hopes to rebound from the first loss of his career tonight when he squares off against gatekeeper Deivi Julio Bassa. The 10-round bout will take place at the Crown Reef Resort in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and will stream live on BXNG ($14.99, 7 p.m. ET/ 4 p.m. PT).

Steven Ortiz settled for a late replacement in preserving his perfect ring record. An interesting clash of styles saw Philadelphia’s Ortiz outbox New Orleans’ Jeremy Hill to claim an eight-round unanimous decision win Wednesday evening at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.

The moment they heard the word “yes” was enough for Jeremy Hill and his team to run with pen in hand to sign the contract. It hasn’t been easy for the unbeaten 6’0” prospect to line up fights, whether at lightweight or junior welterweight. A window of opportunity was provided when Steven Ortiz (11-0,3 KOs) was left without an opponent for a March 10 ShoBox appearance on Showtime after originally scheduled foe Damon Allen suffered an injury in training camp.
