Luis "KO King" Rosa had to settle for a No Contest versus Luis Hinojosa in last night's Broadway Boxing Main Event at the Premier Ballroom at Foxwoods Resort & Casino in Mashantucket, CT.

A severe cut, likely caused by an accidental head butt that opened up on the head of Hinojosa at the end of round number one forced Ref. Johnny Callas to wave off the fight. As only one round had been completed the fight was considered a No Contest.

The first belonged mostly to Rosa who had Hinojosa working hard to keep the KO King off of him. Luis Rosa of New Haven, CT,  attacked the body of Hinojosa from the start, with a couple shots landing below the belt. Luis Hinojosa of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, was on the deck

briefly but the punch was ruled a low blow. When they continued the action heated up and both fighters heads collided in the final seconds of the round opening a bloody gash over the right eye of Hinojosa. The ringside physicians were up in the corner of Hinojosa and advised Ref. Callas that the fight should be stopped. Rosa's record remains at 22-0(10) and Hinojosa's at 28-9(17) after the No Contest. Both fighters weighed 123 pounds for the bout. 

Jennifer Salinas now fighting out of Providence, RI, stopped Angel Gladney of Columbus, SC, in the fourth round of their third encounter. Salinas, 138lbs and celebrating her birthday, came right out

behind a chopping overhand right that reddened the face of Gladney, 139lbs, in the first. Pressing the action, Salinas blasted away with the right and both hands to Gladney's body softening her up en route to the fourth round finish. Halfway through the fourth, with Gladney absorbing punishment, Ref. Eddie Claudio stepped in to halt the action at 1:51. With the victory Salinas improves to 19-3(5) while Gladney slips to 9-12-1(6).

Charles Foster, of New Haven, CT, stopped Willie Williams of Baltimore, MD, at 2:01 of round 2. Foster, 174lbs, pelted Williams mercilessly in round one and had referee Eddie Claudio looking closely towards the end of the round. Things continued in much the same in round two, with Foster scoring with a mean right hook to the body from the southpaw stance. Williams,

177lbs, had no answers and with Foster landing repeatedly the ringside physician climbed up onto the apron and asked the referee to halt matters. Foster improves to 11-)(6) while Williams drops to 14-12-2(4).

Eighteen year old, Mykquan Williams of East Hartford, CT stopped Abdel Vera of Carolina, Puerto Rico at 1:33 of round number 3 to improve to 2-0(2). Vera falls to 0-4.

Irvin Gonzalez of Worcester, MA, made a successful pro-debut with a first round blitz of Gilvan Santos of Framingham, MA. Gonzalez, 137lbs, flattened Santos, 139lbs, in his own corner

with a powerful left jab. Gonzalez is now official at 1-0(1) while Gilvan Santos drops to 0-3.

Kevin Cobbs headlines at Twin River July 15

Renewed focus and a new team in his corner leads Cobbs back to his roots at Twin River Casino

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - He's dealt with losses in and out of the ring. He's had to listen to outsiders question whether or not he's got what it takes to make it in the sport of boxing.

The road has been bumpy at times, but Kevin Cobbs is living proof that all roads eventually lead home.

"Sometimes you've got to go left," Cobbs said, "to find out you should've taken the right turn."

More than five years since his professional debut, the Willimantic, Conn., native may have finally found the path worth traveling.

With a new team behind him and a fresh outlook on his career, the 6-foot-2 Cobbs (10-2, 4 KOs) returns to the ring Friday, July 15^th, 2016 to challenge undefeated Angel Camacho Jr. (15-0, 5 KOs) of Providence for Camacho's Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) International and New England Light Heavyweight Titles in the 10-round main event of CES Boxing's stacked summer fight card at Twin River Casino.

Coming off a loss in January on national television, Cobbs, 32, is wasting no time jumping back into the mix. Training out of George Foreman III's Everybody Fights fitness gym in Boston (formerly known as The Club), where he also works as a personal trainer, Cobbs has surrounded himself with a new team that includes Foreman, trainer Chris Daveiga, strength coach Kirby Espinal and at least one familiar face in trainer / advisor Israel Santiago, who has been with him since Day 1.

I am ready to get this party rolling," said Thompson, who is coming off a 7th round stoppage defeat to Liam Smith in Manchester, England for the WBO Junior Middleweight world title.

DEMETRIUS ANDRADE

Reflections of Muhammad Ali:

"Muhammad Ali certainly shook the world, and not only in boxing.  He was colorful; nobody talked like him.  He helped boxers, too.  Ali is the reason Floyd (Mayweather, Jr.) is who he is because Ali set the bar high.

Julian Williams ready for Jermall Charlo #Boxing

Undefeated and number-one ranked Julian "J Rock" Williams ready for Jermall Charlo next

PHILADELPHIA --On May 21, three of the four world championships in the hot junior middleweight division were contested as Erislandy Lara defended his WBA title with a unanimous decision over Vanes Martirosyan; Jermall Charlo defended his IBF title with a unanimous decision over former champion Austin Trout and Jermell Charlo scored a come-from-behind stoppage over John Jackson to capture the WBC belt.

Sitting ringside was IBF number-one ranked contender, undefeated Julian "J Rock"Williams.  Williams was a very interested observer and was interviewed on theSHOWTIME 

® 

 broadcast with his thoughts on the happenings of the evening.

 "Jermell did his thing. I thought he was losing but Jermell has a clutch gene. He comes through in close fights. He knows what it's like to be in tough. He's doing well under Derrick James. He looked better on TV than he did live at the fight. He was losing but he was walking Jackson down. The sand was running out of the hour glass for Jackson. Jermell can punch better than his record indicates. And that style would be better for him because people always called him boring but it was nothing boring about the KO," said Williams.
