JAQUAN CARTY SCORES UNANIMOUS 10-ROUND DECISION OVER SEMAJAY THOMAS PhilBoxing.com Tue, 28 Oct 2025  IN MAIN EVENT OF PROMOTER CARLOS LLINAS ‘NIGHT OF KNOCKOUTS XXXVI’ AT SOUND BOARD IN MOTORCITY CASINO HOTEL ON FRIDAY NIGHT, OCT. 24 Detroit (October 27, 2025) – On Friday night (October 24) Toronto, Canada’s undefeated Jaquan Carty (11-0, 7 KOs) won an exciting 10-round unanimous decision over Semajay Thomas (11-2, 8 KOs) of Chicago in the super welterweight main event of longtime Detroit-based promoter Carlos Llinas and CLIP Boxing’s “Night of Knockouts XXXVI (36),” event at Sound Board in MotorCity Casino Hotel in Downtown Detroit. In the first of two shows to be presented by Llinas at the same venue in just eight days, the back-and-forth Carty vs. Thomas fight lived up to its hype, as it was nonstop action. Carty started off strong and was controlling the pace through the opening rounds, but Thomas survived the onslaught and had moments of his own in the middle rounds. As the fight went on, however, the accumulation of hard shots from Carty looked to be taking their toll on the swollen left eye of Thomas. In the end Carty won by disappointing scores of 100-90, 100-90 and a respectable 97-93. In another exciting fight, fan favorite Josiah Shackleford (8-2, 4 KOs) won a hard-fought six-round unanimous decision over Jonathan Ryan Burrs (6-11-1, 2 KOs). Looking to throw Shackleford off his game, Burrs employed showboating and taunting tactics throughout the fight that kept the large, vocal crowd fully engaged. The Detroit-based Shackleford had to dig deep and battle through many of the rounds to make the entertaining fight a great learning experience for him. The scores were 60-54 by all three judges. On the undercard, super lightweight Wesley Rivers (11-6, 4 KOs) cruised through Akeem Jackson (6-9, 5 KOs), knocking him down three times in the first round for an automatic TKO. Referee Steve Daher waved it off a 2:13. The scheduled six-round Kevin Carree (5-0-1, 3 KOs) vs. Andre Byrd (10-17-3, 1 KO) super welterweight bout ended in a technical draw as Byrd went through the ropes and hurt his shoulder in round one and was unable to continue. The official time was 2:37. Also on the card, Daishaun Bundrage (2-0, 2 KOs), the son of Detroit’s former two-time IBF Junior Middleweight Champion Cornelius “K9” Bundrage, stopped normally durable veteran Lamar Bolden in spectacular fashion by scoring three quick knockdowns in the opening round of their super middleweight fight. Referee Lorraine Aldrich waved off the mandatory stoppage at 2:13. Super welterweight Marcus Wilson (6-0-1, 3 KOs) won a hard-fought with a TKO 6 over Latiss Norman (4-11-2, 2 KOs). Wilson showed improved aggression and determination compared to past fights. The time of Referee Lorraine Aldrich’s stoppage was 0:50. Heavyweight David McPherson (2-0, 2 KOs) did not fight, as his opponent Armonte Summers was arrested moments before the fight was to start.
