The 25 year old Contreras improved his perfect knockout record of 10-0-0 (10KO’s) by stopping Julian Rodriguez at the 1:35 mark of the second round under a hailstorm of power shots from the Dominican. The loss evened Rodriguez’s record to 17-17-4 (11KO’s).

Contreras and Taylor are both promoted by Chet Koerner’s TKO Boxing Promotions.
Said Koerner, “Terrific wins for both Francisco and Andres. Contreras is really showing why he’s one of the best young prospects in boxing. This was Taylor’s second knockout in a row since suffering his first loss earlier this year and he’s definitely back on track in the cruiserweight division.”
Upcoming bouts for Contreras and Taylor will be announced in the near future.
