STOCKTON, Calif. (Dec. 7, 2022): Quilisto Madera (14-3, 9 KOs) returned to the ring with an eight-round unanimous decision win over Hector Manuel Zepeda (21-6, 7 KOs) in front of a hometown crowd on Saturday night at the Stockton Memorial Civic Auditorium in Stockton, California. The fight headlined a full card of action that was presented by Toscano Boxing Promotions and was streamed live on FightHype.

After a tough start, Madera found his rhythm and began controlling the fight with stiff jabs and hard right hands. Madera won with three scores of 78-74.

“My corner told me to keep working that jab,” said Madera. “They also told me to let go of my right hand and set up the left hooks. I have a really good corner. They kept me on track, and we came to win. This event means a lot. We’ve been through a lot of trials and tribulations. But we just don’t know how to quit. I’ve got a fire in me. We don’t give up. We just keep coming.”
