There are wins for Imam Khataev and Hemi Ahio Major Shows MARCH 22 Sydney, Australia: Super Light: George Kambosos (22-3) W PTS 12 Jake Wyllie (16-2,1ND). Feather: Tiara Brown (19-0) W PTS 10 Skye Nicolson (12-1). Bantam: Cherneka Johnson (17-2) W TKO 7 Nina Hughes (6-2). Light Heavy: Imam Khataev (10-0) W PTS 10 Durval Palacio (14-4). Heavy: Hemi Ahio (24-1) W TKO 1 Aekkaphob Auraiwan (9-4-1). Heavy: Teremoana Jr (7-0) W KO 1 James Singh (12-,2 ND). 
Kambosos vs. Wyllie Appearing in his home city for the first time in eight years Kambosos has to fight hard to win. There was plenty of action in this one from the start as both landed some good shots in the first. Wyllie was jabbing well but with Kambosos connecting with rights to the head and left hooks ending the round strongly. Kambosos continued to put his left hook to good use in the second countering long rights from Wyllie and he used his faster and more accurate jabs and hooks to outscore Wyllie in the third. Wyllie had been landing plenty himself without doing enough to take the rounds. Four was another Kambosos round. Wyllie opened it by connecting with a hard right but Kambosos was boxing cleverly on the outside and finding gaps for his jabs and left hooks. The fifth and sixth were sizzling rounds as Kambosos stood and traded more and they both banged home hard punches. Kambosos got the better of the exchanges in the fifth rattling Wyllie a couple of times but Wyllie, who was growing in confidence, landed some impressive left hooks and overhand rights in the sixth. Wyllie was fired up now and he attacked hard in the seventh forcing Kambosos back and getting through with rights to the head beginning to make inroads into the big lead Kambosos had built. Kambosos had a good eighth. He needed to take back the initiative and did so with some incisive work with his left hooks landing to both head and body and ending the round with a range of jarring punches. The ninth featured some savage exchanges but a clash of heads saw Kambosos suffer a bad cut over his left eye. Kambosos was not slowed by the cut and in the tenth he used sharp counters to blunt any impetus the cut might have given Wyllie and then boxed cleverly on the back foot through the eleventh. Wyllie put in a huge effort in the twelfth storming forward throwing rights and lefts to take the round. A great finish from a fighter who took this fight at only five days’ notice. Scores 117-111 twice and 115-113 all for Kambosos. The cut is a complication Kambosos could do without. Eddie Hearn has said Kambosos will fight WBC champion Richardson Hitchins on 21 June which should give time for the cut to heal. Wyllie replaced Indonesian Daud Yordan who was hospitalised just before the fight and his outstanding performance has earned him a contract with Matchroom 
Brown vs. Nicolson Brown spoils the homecoming party for Nicholson as she takes a deserved split decision to win Nicolson’s WBC title. Nicolson had a slight edge in a cautious opening round and outboxed the aggressive Brown in the second. Brown needed to get inside to work the body and slow Nicolson but hunted in vain in the third. Finally in the fourth Brown managed to drag Nicolson into some close-quarter action and pick up a round. Nicolson was back in control in the fifth and had built a good lead. Despite seemingly having injured her ankle in the fifth Brown was hustling Nicolson out of her stride and took the sixth and seventh. Now Brown was in charge and she stepped up the pressure over the closing rounds to wipe out Nicolson’s early lead and come out on top. Scores 97-93 and 96-94 for Brown and 96-94 for Nicolson. Apart from the USA Floridian Brown, 35, had fought in Mexico, Colombia and the Dominican Republic but Nicolson was a big step up from her other opposition and was an outsider here. Nicolson was making the third defence of the WBC belt. Johnson vs. Hughes Johnson retains the WBA title with a seventh round stoppage of Hughes. Johnson had won the title with a controversial majority decision over Hughes in May last year so the return was expected to be a close affair but Johnson won all the way. It was a scrappy fight marred by too much holding but Johnson had early success opening a cut on the nose of Hughes in the first. The tempo was quite fast despite the holding and the quicker Johnson dominated the exchanges with Hughes struggling to be competitive. Hughes was deducted a point for holding in the fifth and was fading and taking punishment Johnson scored heavily in the sixth and the towel came in from Hughes ‘ corner early in the seventh. New Zealand-born Johnson had lost her IBF super bantamweight title when being outpointed by Ellie Scotney in London in June 2023 and was making the first defence of the WBA bantamweight title. Former undefeated Commonwealth super bantamweight champion Hughes had won the WBA bantamweight title in November 2022 Khataev vs. Palacio Khataev goes the distance for the first time as he floors and outpoints Argentinian Palacio. Khataev made a good start as Palacio chose to stand and trade punches over the first two rounds with Khataev connecting well with shots to head and body. Palacio started to have some success in the third as Khataev already seemed to have slowed. Big statement in the fourth from Khataev as he connected with a booming right to the head that knocked Palacio back. Palacio tumbled but put both gloves on the canvas to stop going all the way down and was ready to continue after the count. Khataev lost a point in the fifth due to a low punch. Palacio was soaking up punishment but fighting back and the fight had plenty of action making Khataev work hard. Khataev was sporting swelling over his left eye and was visibly slowing. Although he was doing most of the scoring the persistence and resilience of Palacio was making it an entertaining scrap. Palacio showed a great chin and thwarted Khataev’s attempts to finish the fight inside the distance with Khataev dropping any pretence of boxing but just kept pumping out punches to win the rounds and the fight but having to go the distance for the first time. Scores 99-89 twice and 98-90 for Khataev. His nine inside the distance wins had taken under 27 rounds so this test showed he has some work to do on his stamina for ten round fights. Khataev won bronze medals at Olympics Games (where he lost a split decision to Ben Whittaker) and the World Championships and was Russian champion for three year in a row so gig things are expected from him. Palacio, the Argentinian No 1, had lost to Kevin Lee Sadjo in his only other fight outside of Argentina so this durability here might lead to more road fights as durable losers are always inndemand. Ahio vs. Auraiwan New Zealander Ahio disposes of hugely over-matched Thai in the first round. Two knockdowns in the round were enough for the referee to waive the fight off and save Auraiwan. Things were going great for Ahio after he won his first 19 fights but fight No 20 saw him suffer an upset fourth round stoppage against Faiga Opelu in 2022. He has rebuilt with five wins including victories over Lucas Browne and Opelu. Auraiwan lamb to the slaughter. Teremoana Jr vs. Singh Teremoana blasts out Singh in one round. Singh did manage to land a right but Teremoana just shrugged it of and dropped Singh with a left hook late in the round. Singh made it to his feet but was floored again by a sweeping left hook and was counted out. Teremoana, 27, makes it seven fights and seven wins by KO/TKO with only two, of his victims getting into the second round and none making it to the third. At 6’6” and around 265 lbs the Paris Olympics quarter-finalist is a big guy. He needs better opponents but there is no need to rush him. Fijian Singh at 6’0” was just too small to be useful as an opponent for Teremoana and suffers his sixth loss By KO/TKO. Las Vegas, NV, USA: Super Welter: Sebastian Fundora (22-1-1) W TKO 4 Chordale Booker (23-2). Super Welter: Jesus Ramos Jr (23-1) W TKO 7 Guido Schramm (16-4-2). Middle: Elijah Garcia (17-1) W PTS 10 Terrell Gausha (24-5-1). Welter: Freudis Rojas (15-0) W PTS 8 Maurice Lee (15-2-2). Super Feather: Alberto Mora (13-0) W PTS 8 Viktor Slavinskyi (15-4-1). 
Fundora vs. Booker In a clash of southpaws Fundora retains the WBA and WBO titles with a fourth round stoppage of an outclassed Booker Round 1 Fundora was 8 ½ “ taller with a huge reach advantage and he was quickly pushing out right jabs with Booker circling looking for an opening. Fundora landed a couple of jabs and Booker actually managed to reach Fundora with a right. Fundora was finding the target with jabs and landed a combination to the head. Booker was just circling the ring whilst Fundora pinged him with jabs. Score: 10-9 Fundora Round 2 Booker came forward throwing hooks but he was having to punch upwards and Fundora blocked the punches and landed counters. Booker connected with a couple of hooks but again Fundora landed counters. Fundora continued to spear the retreating Booker with jabs and then put together some combinations. Score: 10-9 FundoraFundora 20-18 Round 3 Booker fired a burst of punches most of which Fundora blocked and then he fed Booker more jabs. Fundora upped the pace striding forward following his right jabs with chopping lefts keeping Booker under pressure. A sustained barrage of punches had Booker stumbling back and Fundora continued to chase him down landing jabs and lefts. Score: 10-9 FundoraFundora 30-27 Round 4 Booker again opened with a series of punches but Fundora blocked them and then raked Booker with straight rights and clubbing lefts. He backed Booker around the ring piercing Bookers guard with punishing rights and lefts and Booker was coming apart and dropped forward and down. He was up early but hurt by a left that curled around his guard and was driven to the ropes and with Fundora unloading punches the referee made a good stoppage. An impressive performance from Fundora but Booker was not a strong challenger. Then WBO have ordered Fundora to fight Xander Zayas and Zayas will be a much tougher opponent. Ramos vs. Schramm Impressive power showing from Mexican Ramos as he batter a courageous Schramm to defeat in seven rounds. Both landed some hard punches in the first with Ramos having the edge. Ramos was in complete control in the second. He forced Schramm to the ropes and worked him over with shots to head and body. Ramos continued to boss the action in the third and fourth pounding Schramm with body punches with Schramm visibly hurt by a burst of punches at the end of the round. Ramos was close to overwhelming Schramm in the fifth as he continued to land hurtful body shots. He pressed Schramm to the ropes and connected with a stream of punches with Schramm looking close to folding but somehow still trying to punch back . To his credit the Argentinian not only survived but tried to stand and trade with Ramos in the sixth but was badly shaken with an uppercut and soaked up plenty of punishment. There was no quitter in Schramm but in the seventh a series of straight lefts from Ramos sent him back to the ropes where he beckoned for Ramos to keep coming and Ramos obliged him by landing a solid right to the head. Schramm still sought to fire back but he was forced to the ropes again and Ramos connected with a left hook that snapped Schramm’s head back and as he began to slide down the ropes the referee stopped the fight. Ramos reportedly fought from the third with an injured Ramos, 24, was 20-0 before losing on points to Erickson Lubin in September 2023 but he had bounced back with victories over 34-2 Johan Gonzalez and former IBF/IBO/WBA super welter champion Jeison Rosario. Third loss in a row for Schramm following a majority decision defeat against Gonzalez and a kayo by Vladimir Hernandez 
Garcia vs. Gausha Garcia gets off the floor to score an unpopular split decision over Gausha. A great start from Gausha as he dropped Garcia in the first. A straight right drilled through Garcia’s defence sent him down. Luckily for Garcia it did not land flush on the chin. There was enough power to floor him but Garcia was able to recover. The fight really developed into a contest between the clever boxing on the backfoot and accurate countering from Gausha and the relentless pressure from Garcia. The second and third were close with pressure from Garcia seeing him outwork Gausha who still found gaps for straight rights. Gausha continued to work on the back foot under pressure from Garcia and the success coming from that pressure gave Garcia the round compensating for the 10-8 start and seeing him front for the first time. Gausha turned the fight his way in the fifth and sixth. Accurate rights from Gausha slid through Garcia’s poor defence in the fifth and he rocked Garcia with a right uppercut. The punishing power of Gausha’s punches had taken some of the fire out of Garcia and he was not pressing so hard in the sixth. Garcia was wide open as he waded in and Gausha was countering and ended the seventh with a flourish. Gausha looked to have a winning lead after seven but Garcia took then eighth on all three cards to keep the fight close. Although tiring Gausha again used precisely targeted rights to counter Garcia’s attacks in the ninth and landed right after right on Garcia for a strong finish. It looked as though Gausha’s finish more than merited the verdict but the judges scored it 96-93 and 95-94 for Garcia and 95-94 for Gausha. In his last fight in June Garcia dropped a split decision to Kyrone Davis so regains some kudos with this win. Gausha. 37, an Olympian in London in 2012, lost to Erislandy Lara in a challenge for the IBO and WBA super welter belts in 2017 and to Carlos Adames for the WBC middle title in June last year and his future may lay in acting as a test for younger fighters. Rojas vs. Lee Rojas beats fellow-southpaw Lee. Both may be southpaws but Riojas was in a different league and used his better technical skills and height and reach to win this one easily. Scores 80-72 twice and 79-73. Rojas has beaten some useful level opponents but has still to be really tested. Lee was 8-0-2 in his previous 10 outings. Mora vs. Slavinskyi Mexican Mora gets in some ring time against Ukrainian Slavinskyi winning on scores of 80-72 twice and a very different 77-75. ”Ironman” Mora 26, was Mexican Youth champion and a regular member of the Mexican amateur team so has that experience to build on. Slavinskyi has slipped to 2-3 in his last five fights. MARCH 20 Manila, Philippines: Light Fly: Arvin Magramo (19-2-1) W PTS 12 Rene Cuarto (23-8-2). Bantam: Adrian Lerasan (15-8) W TKO 2 Noli Maquillan (10-3). Fly: Roderick Bautista (8-0) W TKO 3 Alex Bonita (8-1-2). 
Magramo vs. Cuarto Southpaw Magramo was the aggressor from the start living up to his nickname of “Hurricane” coming forward behind a strong right jab forcing Curto onto the back foot and scoring with left hooks to the body. Cuarto was countering but the relentless pressure from Magramo made it hard for him to get off the ropes. Cuarto was down in the third but it was a slip and he finally had some success landing heavily in the fourth. It looked as though Magramo would finish it in the fifth as he dropped Cuarto twice but the former IBF minimum champion survived and fought back hard rocking Magramo in the sixth and eating into Magramo’s lead though rounds seven to nine. The tenth was close but Magramo took the last two rounds for a deserved win. Scores 116-110 twice and 114-112 for Magramo. Now 11 wins in his last 12 fights for Magramo. Mighty Mouse” Cuarto is 2-5 in a run of hard fights. Lerasan vs. Maquillan Lerasan wins the vacant Philippines title with a third round stoppage of Maquillan. After two hectic rounds Lerasan floored Maquillan with a perfect counter right hook. Maquillan made it to his feet but a further barrage of punches from southpaw Lerasan saw the referee stop the fight. A bit of an upset as Lerasan had lost 3 of his last 4 fights. Second inside the distance defeat for Maquillan. Bautista vs. Bonita Bautista, 20, stops Bonita in the third round, Bautista floored Bonita with a right hook in the first and chased the reluctant Bonita for the rest of the round. Bautista continued to hunt Bonita is the second with Bonita down three time due to slipping on water on the canvas in his own corner. Bautista scored another knockdown in the third and his corner waived for the fight to be stopped. Bonita returned to his corner-and slipped on water! This was for the vacant WBC Asian title but Bautista was 4 lbs over the weight so the title remains vacant MARCH 22 San Bernardino, CA, USA: Super Middle: Lester Martinez (19-0) W TKO 4 Joeshon James (9-1-2). Super Welter: Vladimir Hernandez (17-6) W PTS 10 Isaiias Lucero (19-3). Super Feather: Jessie Magdaleno (30-3) W TKO 3 Luis Coria (15-8). Welter: Kelvin Davis (15-0) W TKO 4 Jose Marruffo (15-16-2). Light: Charlie Sheehy (11-0) W TKO 7 Cesar Juarez (31-17). Martinez vs. James Guatemala’s Martinez stops unbeaten James in four rounds. James had slight edges in height and reach and was jabbing strongly and taking the fight to Martinez with confidence. Martinez was on the back foot but was firing some dangerous overhand rights. James worked well with his jab again in the second, Martinez pressed a bit more but James had the better of the trading. Martinez began to find the range with his rights in the third but James shook them off and kept working with his jab. He then decided to stand and trade with Martinez and he paid for it. An overhand right and a left hook sent James crashing to the floor on his back with his head out under the ropes. There did not seem any way he could beat the count but he made it up at nine and when the action resumed there were only seconds remaining in the round and James made it to the bell. James seemed to have recovered as he kept firing his jab at the start of the fourth and landed a sharp left hook. Martinez then landed three overhand rights that staggered James and a series of punches ending with a left hook again put him down on his back. James again managed to beat the count but his corner signalled for the fight to end. Martinez, the only Guatemalan fighter in the ratings, was coming off a win over former IBO champion Carlos Gongora. He is No 2 with the WBA so may be somewhere in the picture when it clears after the Saul Alvarez vs. Willian Scull fight but interim WBA champion Caleb Plant and Christian Mbilli are ahead of Martinez in the queue. Hernandez vs. Lucero Southpaw Hernandez outpoints Lucero after ten rounds of war. Lucero was quickly forced onto the back foot by the marauding Hernandez but did enough to edge the round. In the second Hernandez marched into a right uppercut from Lucero and tumbled to the side and down. He got straight up and went back to war but was also cut over his right eye by a punch. Two rounds over and already Hernandez was three points down. From there the strength and work rate of Hernandez saw him getting the better of the savage exchanges. Neither fighter wanted to take a step back and neither had much in the way of defence. It was a simple trial of strength and although the decision was split Hernandez was a deserving winner. Scores 97-92 and 96-93 for Hernandez and 95-94 for Lucero. Hernandez is never in a bad fight but too many of them are wars and clever boxers give him problems. Lucero had been beaten by Souleymane Cissokho in 2023 but had won three fights going into this one. Magdaleno vs. Coria Magdaleno stops Coria in three rounds. Coria had lots of height over Magdaleno and pressed behind a sharp jab with Magdaleno looking to draw the lead and use his hand speed to land counters. Late in the first round a left to the head from Magdaleno caused Coia to sag at the knees and he only just avoided going down but was then caught with a right and left at the bell. Coria had some success in the second coming in behind his jab and firing straight rights but Magdaleno was dangerous with his left hooks. In the third Magdaleno banged home a straight right and a left and then landed two lefts that sent Coria down. Coria got to his feet but was caught by a heavy right to the head at the end of the round and when Coria walked back to his corner they indicating the fight was over. Magdaleno, a former WBO super bantam champion, needed the win after a loss to Ray Fiord and to Brandon Figueroa for the WBC interim featherweight belt. He was 129 ½ lbs for this one so might be going to fight at super feather and try to get a title shot there. Three tough fights in a row and three losses. Davis vs. Marruffo This was a farce. Davis was 7 inches taller than Maruffo who was crude and wild. Maruffo just kept walking forward flailing with his hands with no accuracy and no power and fought the whole fight with his mouthguard poking out of his mouth. Southpaw Davis was able to spear him with jabs and land hooks and uppercuts as Maruffo lunged in. Davis connected with a series of hard straight lefts in the third but Maruffo kept coming. The referee had the doctor examine Maruffo before the start of the fourth and late in the fourth after Davis connected with hard rights to the head the referee stopped the fight. Eighth inside the distance win for Davis the older brother of Keyshawn Sheehy vs, Juarez Sheehy stops Juarez in the seventh. The fight followed a predictable course with the taller better boxer Sheehy jabbing, moving and countering as Juarez ploughed forward. Sheehy jabbed to head and body and dug in some solid body shots . Juarez just soaked them up and when he did get inside managed to land some clubbing punches. The body punishment began to get to Juarez and the chasing of Sheehy in vain tired him. The referee asked the doctor to check Juarez at the start of the seventh but it was decided Juarez was OK to continue. Juarez spat out his mouthguard and was deducted a point then a right shook Juarez and when Sheehy cut loose with a barrage of punches the referee stopped the fight. A former Elite Level amateur Sheehy is progressing well. Juarez lost to Isaac Dogboe in a challenge for the interim WBO super bantam title in 2018. He was seven years younger and a lot lighter then. Atlantic City, NJ, USA: Welter: Brian Arregui (11-5) W PTS 10 Vlad Panin (21-2). Heavy: Bruce Seldon Jr (5-0) W TKO 1 Gabriel Costa (4-8-1). Arregui vs. Panin Argentinian Arregui snaps a four-bout losing run with an upset victory against favoured Panin. Over the first three rounds Panin’s better skills saw him boxing at distance with Arregui unable to make much progress. From the fourth Arregui’s aggression began to get him inside where he was able to outscore Panin banging to the body and landing straight rights as he began to close the points gap. Arregui continued to enjoy success over the second half of the fight but the rounds were close and with some widely differing scorecards the result could have gone either way. Two judges scored for Arregui 99-91 and 97-93 with one judge going with 97-93 for Panin. Arregui was a big outsider as apart from losing his last four fights he was only No 10 in the Argentinian super welterweight ratings. Real setback for Belarusian Panin who had won his last 14 fights. Seldon vs. Costa This one was all over in 53 seconds. A left cross dropped Costa and although he got up a body punch sent him down again and the fight was stopped. Seldon, 30, is the son of former WBA heavyweight champion Bruce Snr. and has taken less then nine rounds for his five wins but against weak opposition. All eight of Costas’ losing fights have been done and dusted inside two rounds. El Cajon, CA, USA: Super Feather: Jeremy Hill (22-3-1) W PTS 10 Maliek Montgomery (20-1). Light: Kurt Scoby (16-1) W TKO 5 Cesar Villarraga (11-12-1). Hill vs. Montgomery Hill comes from behind to outpoint unbeaten Montgomery. It was Montgomery who made the better start and looked to have taken the first two rounds. The third was close but then Hill took over. Montgomery was applying pressure but Hill was boxing well using his longer to break up Mongomery’s attacks. Montgomery continued to press and made the rounds close but Hill was comfortable on the front foot or countering and took the unanimous decision on scores of 97-93 twice and 98-92. Hill was knocked out in three rounds by Ray Muratalla in 2022 but had scored a reasonable level win over 19-1 Mark Davis and drawn with experienced Leonardo Padilla in a 5-0-1 run. Montgomery, twice National Holden Gloves champion, had beaten Bruce Carrington, Albert Bell and Edgar Berlanga in the amateurs and scored pro wins over Oscar Escandon and Sakaria Lukas. Scoby vs. Villarraga Scoby stops overmatched Villaraga in five rounds. Scoby put Villaraga on the floor with a left in the second round. He continued to land heavily over the next two rounds and had Villaraga under heavy fire in the fifth when the referee stopped the fight. Scoby suffered a disappointing loss when he was halted in six rounds by 13-6-3 Dakota Klinger in April last year but has won three in row inside the distance since then. Colombian Villaraga is 1-7 in his last 8 fights. Buenos Aires, Argentina: Super Feather: Ayrton Gimenez (22-1,1ND) W PTS 10 Diego Ruiz (26-12-1). Super Bantam: Rodrigo Ruiz( 22-0) W KO 2 Luis Millan (30-9). Gimenez vs. Ruiz Gimenez wins unanimous decisioned over seasoned pro Ruiz to retain the South American title and win the vacant WBO Latino title. Gimenez boxed a clever fight controlling the action with his jab and employing some classy defence work to blunt Ruiz’s attacks. Ruiz had some success when he worked his way inside but never really threatened Gimenez. Scores 98-92, 97-93 and a too close 96-94. Gimenez lost a points decision against Michael Magnesi in Italy for the vacant WBC Silver title in 2023 but is 5-0 since then. Ruiz is 2-6 in his most recent action but often fights on the road in the other guy’s back yard and did hold Lee McGregor to a draw in England in 2022. Ruiz vs. Millan Ruiz scores a win for the Ruiz family as he kayos Venezuelan Millan in the second round. Ruiz floored Millan twice in the first but Millan survived to the end of the round. In the second a left put Millan down and out. Ruiz makes it 16 wins by KO/TKO. He was making the ninth defence of the IBF Latino title and sixth of the South American title. Millan’s record very misleading as 24 of the guys he beat had never won a fight. About the Author
