Middleweight John “The Phenom” Vera Jr. (20-1, 12 KOs) scored a strange first round KO over Cleotis Pendarvis (21-8-2, 9 KOs) on Thursday night at the Biloxi Conference Center in Biloxi, Mississippi. Bizarre ending as Pendarvis jabbed to the body, then suddenly turned away and went to his knees where he was counted out. Looked like a hand injury for Pendarvis. Time was 1:38.
Welterweight Christon Edwards (12-2, 6 KOs) scored a six round unanimous decision over Jonathan Steele (9-7-1, 6 KOs). Good action fight with many exciting exchanges. Judges favored Edwards by scores of 58-56, 58-56, 59-55.
In a clash between unbeaten super featherweights, Eridson Garcia (11-0, 7 KOs) took a six round majority decision over Jose Valenzuela (6-1, 1 KO). Scores were 57-57, 60-54, 59-55 for Garcia.
Unbeaten super lightweight Tyler Tomlin (10-0, 6 KOs) needed just 55 seconds to get a referee’s stoppage over Ricardo Ocampo (12-11, 7 KOs). Quick stoppage, although the result was probably inevitable.
I came out to support RJJ promotions. Cleotis Pendarvi actually looked as his name sounded. Weird and soft, nothing about him said professional fighter.
RJJ finally comes to the ring to take his seat for the main event. As quick as Roy sits down, Pendarvi throws a jab to the body, that was blocked. He hits the canvass for a count of 10. Roy pops right back up after a 3-min sit. Crowd was pissed!
Edwards vs Steele turned the place up. That was a nice scrap.
Overall, nice to see live fights on a Thurs night.
