All Bally Sports Entrobox Championship Boxing fight cards air live on Bally Sports Network, the Bally App and Display TV. In the main event, featherweight Otabek “Bruce Lee” Kholmatov became the WBA’s number one contender following a dominant decision victory over previously unbeaten Andranik Grigorian. Khamatov stymied Grigorian with an excellent jab and body shots throughout the contest. Scores were 118-110 and 119-109 twice.

Falcao, a 2012 Olympic Bronze Medalist for Brazil, showcased his world class boxing skills but Bonelli had his moments and displayed a tremendous chin. The official tallies were 99-91, 98-92 and 97-93. Junior middleweight Anthony “ATV” Velazquez, 11-0 (10 KO’s) of Springfield, MA demolished Argentina’s Sergio Castellano, 11-9 (7 KO’s). Velazquez ended Castellano’s night with a vicious left hook at the end of the second round. Heavyweight hopeful Norman “Pooh” Neely of Paterson, NJ bested rugged Puerto Rican Hector Perez in an eight round contest.
