Local junior welterweight Emmanuel “Pinky” Colon (17-1-1, 16 KOs) scored his 12th first round knockout with a opening stanza TKO over Richard Zamora (19-4, 12 KOs) of Mexico on Friday night at the sold out Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino in Niagara Falls, New York.

Colon dropped Zamora twice in round one and the carnage was waved off at 2:46. With the win Colon secured the WBA Fedecentro belt.

Junior welterweight Wilfredo “El Bravo” Vega Flores (8-0, 6 KOs) of nearby Dunkirk, NY scored a fourth round TKO over Adrian Martinez (3-3) of Puerto Rico.

Flores controlled the action during the early going then landed a flush right hand that stunned Martinez who momentarily looked as he was out on his feet. That forced the referee to jump in and wave the bout off at 1:16 in the fourth of a scheduled six.

Danny Dejesus of Buffalo registered a unanimous four round decision over Jonathan Smith of South Bend, Indiana in the debut for both junior lightweights. Dejesus came out strong in the first round and dropped Smith with a right hand. Over the next three rounds, Dejesus had some trouble with the awkward opponent but did enough to win the decision by scores of 40-35, 40-35 and 39-36.

Alex Castellano, bantamweight out of Buffalo, improved to 2-0 with a TKO in round two of a scheduled four over Alonzo Davis (1-2) of Philadelphia. Castellano was workmanlike as he controlled the action of the fight that finally was stopped at 2:10 of round two.
Lightweight Gerffred Ngayot (2-0) of Buffalo took home a well earned four round unanimous decision over durable Darel Harris (2-16) of Sarasota, Fl. The scores were 40-36, 40-36 and 39-37.

Ayanna Tramont of Buffalo won her pro debut with a second round TKO over Ashlee Futrell of Cleveland who also was debuting. The much taller Tramont overwhelmed her opponent and the referee was forced to stop the fight at 1:28 in the second of a scheduled four in the middleweight contest.

Junior welterweight Charles Garner III made his debut a success with a hard-fought four round decision over Angel Cotto (0-1) of Mt. Vernon, NY. In maybe the fight of the night Garner boxed well over the four rounds and was also willing to mix it up with the aggressive Cotto. In the end Garner landed the better blows and won by scores of 39-37 and 40-36 twice.

The opening bout of the evening had veteran female fighters Maureen Shea of the Bronx and Edina Kiss of Budapest in a six round featherweight clash. Shea was aggressive throughout the bout and had Kiss backing up from her powerful punches. Scores were 60-54 across the board for Shea who improves to 28-2-1 while Kiss drops to 15-12.
