Aside from the high profile cards this weekend in Atlantic City and Connecticut, there were a few decent shows at small hall venues and we start out on Friday at the Sovereign Center in Reading, PA where middleweight contender Marco Antonio Rubio won his eighth bout in a row.

The Mexican slugger, 42-4-1 (37), stopped the comeback of veteran Freddy Cuevas, 26-10-1 (17), when the Chicago man couldn't answer the bell for the sixth round.

On the undercard, Los Angeles area lightweight Urbano Antillon, 20-0 (16), stayed on track for a world title opportunity by climbing off the canvas in the second to stop Jose Leonardo Cruz, 12-3-2 (8), in the sixth frame.

In nearby Philadelphia, featherweight Eric "The Outlaw" Hunter, 9-1 (4), stopped previously undefeated Jules Blackwell, 7-1-2 (2), in the third at the Legendary Blue Horizon.

Also winning on the bill were light welterweight Steve Upsher, 17-1-1 (5), who knocked out Jaime Morales, 4-8 (2), in the first and heavyweight Ran Nakash, 13-0 (9), who stopped James Porter, 5-13-1 (1), in the second. More...
