2016 Olympian welterweight Alberto Palmetta (19-2, 13 KOs) scored a ten round unanimous decision over Janelson Figueroa Bocachica (17-2-1, 11 KOs) on Wednesday night at the Whitesands Events Center in Plant City, Florida. Good tactical fight with Palmetta prevailing 97-93, 96-94, 96-94.

Former super bantamweight champion Angelo Leo (22-1, 10 KOs), now campaigning at featherweight after a 2.5 year layoff, hammered out a hard fought ninth round TKO over rugged Nicolas Polanco (20-5-1, 11 KOs). Polanco couldn’t continue due to a shoulder injury. Time was 1:59.

  • Leo looked REALLY good and the main event was a pretty good fight. All for the low low price of free.99.

    • Lucie, pro box did not disappoint again. Leo was on fire with body shots, angles, everything except the kitchen sink. Palmetta, I felt won that fight. He was much more consistent.

      • Palmetta – Bocachica was close. I was pulling for the Detroit guy but to be honest, the decision was fair.
