CRUISER: LENAR PEREZ (16-0) W PTS 10 ISAAC CHILEMBA (27-11).SUPER LIGHT: JHON OROBIO (17-0) W TKO 5 YOMAR ALAMO (22-6-1).SUPER LIGHT: STEVE CLAGGETT (40-8-2) W TKO 2 ALEJANDRO FRIAS (21-13-2). MORENO FENDERO (14-0) W PTS 10 SHAWN MCCALMAN (17-1). Butler vs. Hiseni In yet another explosive display BUTLER obliterates Swiss HISENI in two rounds. The danger signs were there in the first when Butler made Hiseni dip at the knees with a right and shook him with another. He ended it dramatically in the second. With Hiseni against the ropes Butler landed a hard right and then a fearsome left hook that dropped Hiseni on his back with his head resting on the bottom rope and the referee immediately signalled the fight was over. A candidate for Kayo of the Year. Butler has lost in two shots at the middleweight title but has now won four straight inside the distance victories since moving up to super middleweight. Butler collects the WBA Continental Americas title. The mixture of fierce power and vulnerability-all 5 of his losses have come inside the distance-makes Butler such a huge draw. Hiseni was having his third fight in Montreal having previously drawn with Butler’s unbeaten stablemate Shamil Khataev and outpointed Alexandre Gaumont. Perez vs. Chilemba Cuban PEREZ was too young and too big for experienced CHILEMBA . Both had some rust to shed Perez was having his first fight since April 2025 and Chilemba since May 2024. The 6’5” Perez was able to use his longer reach to dominate at distance and was just too strong inside for Chilemba. The Malawian needed all of his experience to stay in the fight as Perez pounded him with rights. Perez won on 100-90 on each of the three cards and wins the WBA Continental Americas title Orobio vs. Alamo OROBIO matches Butler for electrifying power as he beats ALAMO in five rounds. Alamo showed some good skills but was under pressure from the start. It looked to be all over in the third as Orobio forced Alamo to the ropes and then landed three clubbing overhand rights. Somehow Alamo beat the count and survived through the fourth. In the fifth Orobio connected with two left hooks to the body. A dazed Alamo retreated to the ropes and was nailed by an explosive right to the head that dropped him to the canvas half way out under the bottom ropes and the referee did not need to count. Colombian Orobio, 22, looks better in every night. His right was every bit as impressive as Butler’s left and he has 15 wins by KO/TKO. He was making the third defence of the WBA Continental Americas title. Puerto Rican Alamo very much on a downward path with 6 losses in his last 7 fights. Claggett vs. Frias Vetern CLAGGETT launches his comeback with a second round stoppage of FRIAS. Claggett landed some useful uppercuts in the first and finished the job in the second. With Frias retreating to the ropes Claggett stepped in and landed a left and a right and a left hook to the head that sent Frias down on his back. He made it to his feet at six but the referee waived the fight over. Claggett, 36, lost on points to Teofimo Lopez for the WBO title in 2024 and is looking to land one more shot at a title. Sixth defeat by KO/TKO for Mexican Frias. Fendero vs. McCalman Montral-based Frenchman FENDERO wins a unanimous decision over Colorado’s McCALMAN. This was the best fight of the night pitting the clever boxing of McCalman against the power punching of Fendero. McCalman made the better start and looked to have taken the first two rounds with some smart boxing. Fendero then took over with his harder punching giving him the edge over the middle rounds. As Fendero slowed McCalman had a good seventh and did enough to make the last three rounds closed but just came up short. Fendero won on scores of 96-94 twice and 97-93. He wins the vacant WBC Continental Americas title. McCalman’s only other loss came in a points defeat against Deigo Pacheco in 2024.
