Peter Quillin-Caleb Truax ends in no-contest

An IBF super middleweight elimination clash between former world champions Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin (34-1-1, 23 KOs) and hometown hero “Golden” Caleb Truax (30-4-2, 19 KOs) ended in a no-decision on Saturday night at The Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota, essentially leaving the division at a stand-still. A headbutt in the second round, caused Truax to have a nasty cut that stopped the bout. The bout was not heavily hyped prior and came and went with a bizarre ending.

In an IBF middleweight title eliminator, Sergiy Derevyanchenko (13-1, 10 KOs) scored a twelve round unanimous decision over Jack Culcay (25-4, 13 KOs). The bout was close with Derevyanchenko winning the early rounds, but Culcay winning a lot of the later rounds, the judges saw it 116-112, 116-112 and 115-113 for Derervyanchenko.

Derervyanchenko is now the mandatory challenger for the winner of Canelo Alvarez vs. Daniel Jacobs, whether he gets a shot either, we will see as, both fighters might vacate to seek bigger money fights, as Derevyanchenko is not the biggest draw in the sport.

Super welterweight prospect Joey Spencer (7-0, 6 KOs) picked up some great professional experience going six-rounds with veteran Osias Vasquez (4-3, 0 KOs). S
