Wednesday night at the Aviator Sports Arena in Brooklyn, NY, was the second night in only five days that Sal Musumeci’s Final Forum hosted a televised professional boxing card this time in association with Star Boxing.

The ESPN broadcast of "Wednesday Night Fights" featured an action packed main event with Ali Oubaali from Brooklyn, New York against Chris Fernandez of Salt Lake City .

In the main event, Oubaali threw nearly 100 punches per round against the game Fernandez, who gave as good as he got. Both fighters rarely clinched or held and preferred to exchange heavy shots throughout the bout.

Oubaali clearly got the better of the exchanges landing an incredible amount of shots to the body. On at least three occasions, it seemed as if Fernandez was about to drop to a knee or go down from the shots to the body but he would take a deep breathe and come back swinging. More...

The ninth installment of Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing series “Punchin’ at the Paradise” could have been renamed “Knockouts at the Paradise” as Andrey Tsurkan stopped Jesse Feliciano inside the distance, a trend all the fighters on the ESPN Friday Night Fights telecast followed in the Bronx , NY on Friday night.

Tsurkan, 26-3 (17), put on a strong performance against Feliciano, 15-7-3 (9), dropping him in the first round and landing heavy blows through the rest of the fight. Tsurkan dominated every round utilizing his jab and landing accurate power punches at will.

The tough Feliciano absorbed the blows in stride but was never able to get the better of the exchanges. He seemed unable to get out the way of the crisp head shots being delivered at will by Tsurkan.

Although the fight was one-sided in the favor of Tsurkan, Feliciano was also able to land some good shots through the fight. More...

It wasn't the busiest of Friday nights across the globe but there were a few good fights on tap and we begin in America where former IBF Lightweight Champion Paul Spadafora, 41-0-1 (16), started another comeback by winning every frame of an eight rounder against Shad Howard, 13-11-3 (6), at the Avalon Hotel in Erie, PA.

32 year old Spadafora was appearing in just his fifth contest since WBA titlist Leonard Dorin held him to a draw in their unification bout of 2003, which was coincidentally the last world title bout that "The Pittsburgh Kid" has taken part in.

At the Utopia Theatre in The Bronx, NY, light middle Andrey Tsurkan, 26-3 (17), bounced back from losing his NABF title via split decision to Yuri Foreman in December to stop ex-IBF welterweight title challenger Jessie Feliciano, 15-7-3 (9), in the eighth of a scheduled ten rounder.

The Bronx based 30 year old Russian fighter has now gone 7-1 over his last eight bouts and is steadily climbing the ladder towards a world title opportunity.

Also on the bill, well-traveled Polish heavyweight Albert Sosnowski, 43-1 (26), continued to build his resume with a fifth round finishing of Terrell Nelson, 8-5 (5). More...
