An amazing boxing event took place on Saturday night in the Toyota Center in Ontario, California, where in the main event Brandon “The Heartbreaker” Figueroa (24-1-1, 18 KOs) met with Mark Magsayo (24-2, 16 KOs).
Eventually, Brandon Figueroa upset former WBC 126-lb champion Mark Magsayo by a 12-round unanimous decision to win the interim WBC featherweight championship.
The 27-year-old Magsayo received two holding penalties in rounds eight and eleven. With Magsayo continuously hitting the ground from tiredness and the consequences of Figueroa's devastating body punches, the referee seemed to miss at least three knockdowns. 117-109, 117-109, and 118-108 were the final scores.
Official fight highlights:
In the co-main event, little-known 24-year-old Jose Armando Resendiz (14-1, 10 KOs) unexpectedly stopped former IBF/WBA junior middleweight champion Jarrett Hurd (24-3, 16 KOs) in the tenth round.
Hurd, 32, was suffering from a cut lip when the fight was stopped by the referee, but he had already taken a serious beating by the seventh round and looked done
In the undercard, middleweight Elijah Garcia (14-0, 12 KOs) knocked out Amilcar Vidal (16-1, 12 KOs) in the fourth, junior middleweight Terrell Gausha (23-3-1, 12 KOs) defeated Brandyn Lynch (12-2-1, 9 KOs) by a ninth-round knockout, middleweight prospect Daniel Blancas (5-0, 3 KOs) destroyed Kynndale Prather (3-16, 1 KOs) in a first round, another middleweight prospect Travon Marshall (8-0, 7 KOs) stayed unbeaten with a win over Justin DeLoach (19-6, 10 KOs) and light welterweight veteran Samuel Teah (19-4-1, 8 KOs) outboxed Enriko Gogokhia (13-1-2, 8 KOs).
