Claiming the vacant NABF super flyweight title, undefeated Filipino Jade Bornea (15-0, 10 KOs) took a split decision win over Dallas’ Ernesto Delgadillo (11-1-2, 2 KOs) on Thursday night at Legends Casino in Toppenish, Washington. The fight was a close one, with Delgadillo boxing early on and building up a slight edge in the first few rounds and Bornea coming on later in the fight with the heavier shots. The judges scored the bout 96-93 twice for Bornea and 96-93 for Delgadillo. The bout was the main event of RJJ Boxing’s first UFC Fight Pass live stream of the year.

Undefeated Irish middleweight Connor Coyle (12-0, 5 KOs) scored a quick first round win over Mexico’s Miguel Dumas (12-3, 8 KOs). Coyle worked well behind his jab in the fight’s opening round, stalking forward and connecting with solid follow up right hands. Late in the round a one-two from Coyle seemed to catch Dumas on the arm, drawing a grimace. In between rounds, on advice of the ringside physician, referee Joel Scobie called it, giving Coyle the TKO victory. After the fight, Dumas stated he had injured his shoulder.
