Mohegan Sun Casino, Uncasville, Connecticut - In a light heavyweight contest, top contender Sullivan Barrera (19-1, 14 KOs) scored two knockdowns and stopped Paul "PPV" Parker (8-2, 4 KOs) in five rounds. They started off cautious for the first 45 seconds before the punches started flying from both boxers. The long Parker was trying to use his reach to keep Barrera back while luring the Cuban boxer in for a counter. And in the final ten seconds Parker landed a huge right hand to the chin of Barrera, which he took well.

Arif "The Predator" Magomedov was slotted to face Elias Espadas as the co-feature on this Saturday's HBO Latino Boxing telecast live from Uncas Ballroom at Mohegan Sun Resort & Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut but an illness has forced doctors to sideline the 24-year old Russian middleweight.

By Keith Idec - For the first time since 2004, Vaughn Alexander was able to spend at least part of Thanksgiving Day with his family Thursday. He was more than thankful, though, to have to travel later in the day from Missouri to Connecticut. Spending 10½ years in prison makes a man appreciative of such opportunities.
