In the headline bout, Freddie Roach’s protégé, Gor Yeritsyan, with a flawless record of 18 wins, 14 by knockout, outmaneuvered Quinton Randall in a thrilling ten-round showdown. Yeritsyan’s fierce approach eventually wore down Randall’s versatile tactics, clinching a unanimous nod from the judges with scores of 100-90, 100-90, and 99-91, securing the vacant WBC Continental Americas Welterweight Title. This marks Yeritsyan’s fourth triumph within just eight months under the 360 Promotions banner.
The co-main event saw Cain Sandoval, a knockout specialist with a 12-0 record, 11 by knockout, prove his mettle over ten rounds against the seasoned 2006 Olympian Javier Molina. The young Sandoval showcased a versatile skill set against the determined Molina, sweeping the judges’ scorecards with a unanimous 100-90 across the board.
The special attraction in the super flyweight division had Daniel Barrera, also known as Chucky, stopping Jonathan Almacen in his tracks with a breathtaking second-round knockout. Barrera’s rapid and forceful strikes sent Almacen to the canvas twice before referee Jack Reiss waved off the bout at 2:35 of the round, securing Barrera’s spot as a fighter to keep an eye on.
An undercard battle saw Alfredo Castro Villafuerte and Ezequiel Flores go toe-to-toe in a six-round thriller that had fans on their feet.
