Las Vegas - Kevin Newman (11-2-1) suffered a shock loss in front of his hometown fans via unanimous against Genc Pllana (8-1-1) in the opening bout of a SHOBOX tripleheader. Pllana proved to be a very awkward opponent and Newman had trouble adjusting to his style.

The final bell for his previous fight served as a sense of relief for Richardson Hitchins, not because he feared the outcome but more so of it being the end of a night he wanted to forget. It wasn’t until he had begun preparation for the next one did he find appreciation in having survived a stiff test. “I was down on myself after my last fight,” Hitchins (10-0, 5KOs) told BoxingScene.com of his Showtime-televised win over Kevin Johnson last November. “Looking back, though, I realized he’s a difficult guy to fight in the ring. His ring IQ and reflexes are sharp and he was scrappy. He came at me with a lot I hadn’t seen as a pro, which I should’ve known because he saw it as his big opportunity if he beat me. “A lot of that played a part in the fight, but it forced me to offer something different. If I came with anything less, I would have lost. It was a clean win even though it wasn’t me at my best. But it’s a win where I learned a lot, which only makes me better.”
