Montreal Casino, Montreal, Canada. In the main event of the evening, the native of Armenia playing for Canada Eric Bazinyan (29-0, 21 KOs) not without problems defended the titles of the champion of North America according to NABA And NABF in the second middleweight (up to 76.2 kg) in the confrontation with the American ex-challenger Alantez Fox (28-4-1.13 KOs).
It was extremely difficult for the favorite to adapt to a long, maneuverable opponent. But after the equator, Fox began to give up: he hid more and more often in clinches, picked up blows in the 7th round. He was close to an early defeat in the final three minutes, but waited for the final gong.
Two of the three judges were, traditionally for Canada, too loyal to the local fighter (twice 98-92), but the third was closely watching what was happening in the ring (95-95).
Bazinyan MD 10.
In the co-main event of the show in the limit of super lightweight (up to 63.5 kg), the local favorite Yves Ulysses Jr. (22-3, 12 KOs) hit the Mexican with an early knockout Gabriel Valenzuela (26-3-1, 16 KOs).
Already at the starting minute of the fight, the underdog scored an uppercut, after which it immediately became clear that even the efforts of the referee would not help Ulysses get back on his feet and continue the fight.
