Sergio Mora, winner of the first Contender series, survived a second round knockdown to force a seventh round stoppage over the useful Archak TerMeliksetian at the Aladdin Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on Thursday (May 4) night.

Middleweight TerMeliksetian, 15-4-(12), floored the 25 year-old from Los Angeles, with a left hook counter in the opening stages of the second round. Mora, managed to get to his feet reasonably quickly and regain his composure.

Mora upped the pace from then on, hurting TerMeliksetian a number of times in the fifth and sixth rounds before forcing a stoppage after 2.44 of the seventh stanza.

On the undercard of the Tournament of Contenders promoted card, Alfonzo Gomez and Jesse Feliciano battled to an eight round draw in the rubber match to decide who was the better man. The scores were 77-75 for Gomez while the other two judges saw the bout even at 76-76.


Can't wait till this chump get's stopped & we quit hearing this Contender crap.




Mora looked good last night, The knock down was more a flash knock down, He was off balance and got up at the count of one. He was killing that guy with body shots, And I think Gomez should of edged out a decision. Yeah but either guy will get a ass whooping if they step up.
