Bryant Perrella: Prayers For France, Prayers For Fadli
No matter what happened in his fight, the last thing Bryant Perrella had to worry about was a long trip home or what awaited him upon arrival. The same cannot be said for his most recent opponent - Chaquib Fadli, who not only suffered a 1st round knockout loss at the heavy hands of Perrella, but is now a man without a destination following their Spike TV-televised bout Friday evening in Biloxi, Mississippi. The 34-year old boxer hails from Clermont-Ferrand, Puy-de-Dôme, France, roughly four hours south of Paris, but close enough to where the city serves as a major hub for international flights. Original plans called for Fadli to fly home from Gulfport, with stops in Atlanta and Paris. That has now dramatically changed, given the horrific terrorist attacks that have left more than 150 dead and the city on lockdown as the world prays for peace and restoration. Meanwhile, Fadli - who was not told about the events going on at home until after his fight - is now forced to worry about his loved ones from afar while he remains in the Gulf Coast awaiting news of when he can return home. Needless to say, learning of his opponent's situation didn't exactly leave Perrella in a post-fight celebratory mood. "I was naturally happy after my win on TV, but after hearing about everything that happened - it's just another fight. My thoughts are with Chaquib right now," Perrella (12-0, 11KOs) told BoxingScene.com.

Guerrero, Perrella KO Winners On Spike TV Undercard
Darwin Price worked hard to earn his ninth pro win in as many fights, taking an eight-round decision over Mexico's Alvaro Ortiz. Scores were 80-72 across the board for Price (9-0, 5KOs), who is based out of Houston and trains with Ronnie Shields. Ortiz (7-6-1, 5KOs) is 0-4-1 in 2015, but has now gone the distance with three straight unbeaten fighters, all in the span of just 60 days.

Alantez Fox: This Is The Best I've Felt About My Career
This weekend was originally supposed to represent a showcase opportunity for Alantez "SlyAzA" Fox, who was slated to fight on the undercard portion of a Showtime telecast featuring fellow DMV (D.C./Maryland/Virginia) product Gary Russell Jr. When the featherweight titlist was forced to withdraw from his bout, plans began shifting which led to Fox being placed on the undercard of a Spike TV-televised event in Biloxi, Mississippi. The undefeated middleweight won't appear on air (at least not live) but is still treating tonight's showdown with Todd Manuel as the most important fight of his young career.

Gonzalez On Frampton Loss, Bantamweight Return
He had two knockdowns banked in the opening round and was well on his way to the biggest upset of 2015, as well as the biggest win of his own career. An unfortunate thing happened to Alejandro Gonzalez Jr. after that. A damaged right hand disrupted the remainder of his performance, allowing unbeaten Carl 'The Jackal' Frampton back into the fight. In the bling of an eye, the second-generation boxer was on pace to follow directly in his father's footsteps, right down to knocking off an unbeaten champion in a title fight in Texas. Alas, Gonzalez Jr. was forced to settle for a 'valiant-in-defeat' decision loss in their CBS-televised headliner this past July. It wasn't quite the same as his father, Alejandro Sr. punching a then-unbeaten Kevin Kelley into blinded submission after 10 rounds of their featherweight title fight war some 20 years ago in San Antonio, but enough to earn the rising contender industry-wide respect. Four months later, he seeks more than just a good performance heading into his 10-round showdown versus Karim Guerfi tonight in Austin, Texas. "I knew I had him hurt and that I coud knock him out," the 22-year old boxer from Tijuana, Mexico told BoxingScene.com in a recent interview. "When I messed up my right hand, I knew I missed my chance, but overall I was pleased with my performance."
