Devin Haney stops Antonio Moran in DAZN debut – WORLD TITLE NEXT?

Devin Haney is inching closer and closer to his world title shot and his seventh round knockout of Antonio Moran at the MGM National Harbor Casino in Oxon Hill, MD, in his first fight with DAZN and Matchroom Boxing USA, might have been his best yet. Haney was far superior than Moran in every aspect of the fight and with the win, Haney puts more pressure on the sanctioning bodies for him to fight for a world title soon.

Undefeated heavyweight Filip Hrgovic stopped Gregory Corbin in one round. Corbin, a tough veteran, who was disqualified earlier this year against Charles Martin, just couldn’t handle the skills and power of Hrgovic, who knocked him out in exactly one minute.

Heavyweight Michael Hunter made short work of former UFC light heavyweight contender Fabio Maldonado, who is moonlighting the later stages of his career as a heavyweight boxer. The fight was all Hunter gave Maldonado a stand-eight count to start the second round and stopped him in that very round with body shots.

In a fun and competitive women’s super lightweight world title unification bout of the WBA and WBC titles, as Chicago’s Jessica McCaskill went to battle and defeated a game Anahi Sanchez, in order to pick up both belts. The judges had the fight 99-91, 96-94 and 98-92 all for McCaskill, a very entertaining bout.

Baltimore local, super middleweight Lorenzo “Truck” Simpson made short work of Rafael Garcia stopping him at 1:19 of the first round. Simpson, a Calvin Ford protegee, was deadly accurate, and hit hard, a fantastic performance for this level of developmental competition, Simpson was in with.

Junior middleweight Daniyar Yelussinov picked up a six-round unanimous decision win over Luis Normabuena

The first bout of the night saw a mild upset as lightweight Luis Gerardo Perez won a six-round unanimous decision over local Mack “Papi” Allison IV of Baltimore, MD. The two made an agreement to stand and exchange, and Perez just had a little more firepower and could take the shots a tad bit better. This would’ve been a good main card fight in terms of action.
