The Star Boxing show at Roseland Ballroom in New York started off with a thrilling four rounder between lightweights Jose Guzman and Luis Lopez, which ended with a win by knockout for Guzman, still undefeated at 4-0 (3) while Lopez dropped to 2-8-1 (2).
The next undercard bout was between cruiserweights, Ahmed Samir, 4-0 (0), and Tyronne Smith, 5-6-2 (2). Samir threw effective combos, and accurately switched his foot positioning, which led him to victory.
Bryant Pappas was most certainly the crowd favorite as his name was chanted when he stepped into the ring with fellow junior middleweight Chris Morton. Pappas displayed how he is a fast, rightfully aggressive fighter, and Morton did his best to keep up, showing great determination and effort.
It was Pappas that the crowd was cheering for, as he won by knockout in just the first round, advancing his perfect record to 7-0 (7) while Morton dropped to 1-3. More...

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...
