Heavyweight prospect George Arias beat Tyrell Wright by unanimous decision in a highly competitive, eight-round fight Saturday in Brooklyn.

The Bronx’s Arias (11-0, 6 KOs) won by scores of 78-74, 77-75 and 77-75 in a non-televised battle at Barclays Center. The Arias-Wright fight was the opener of a 10-bout card that’ll feature a 12-round, 144-pound main event between Adrien Broner and Jessie Vargas (Showtime).

The 26-year-old Arias often fought with his hands down and threw one shot at a time, while moving away from the taller Wright. But Arias landed his left hook regularly early in the fight, later had some success with his overhand right and was able to withstand Wright’s consistent body attack.

Arias caught Wright with an overhand right that briefly made Wright hold him with a little over a minute to go in the fifth round. Wright started the sixth round strong, though, as Arias tired and couldn’t throw as many punches as he had during previous rounds.
A rejuvenated Arias rallied in the seventh and eighth rounds. The Dominican Republic native was busier than Wright in those rounds, and consistently connected with right hands to the head and body shots to secure his victory.

The 31-year-old Wright (9-2-2, 6 KOs), of Jersey City, New Jersey, lost a second straight fight. He suffered his first defeat October 19, when unbeaten Jermaine Franklin (16-0, 13 KOs) beat him by unanimous decision in an eight-rounder in Washington, D.C.

In the second fight Saturday night, unbeaten bantamweight prospect Dylan Price remained undefeated by beating up Edson Noria for most of their six-rounder.

The 19-year-old Price (6-0, 5 KOs), of Sicklerville, New Jersey, was too fast and too skilled for his game Mexican opponent and won all six rounds on each of the three scorecards (60-53, 60-53, 60-53). The flashy, slick Price switched southpaw, punched in combination and generally picked apart Noria to the head and body on his way to going the distance for the first time in his 14-month pro career.

Price dropped Noria with a right hand in the center of the ring late in the fourth round. Price appeared to land a low left hand to Noria’s leg, however, just before blasting Noria with the punch that sent him to the seat of his trunks.

Noria reached his feet and took several more power punches from Price prior to the fourth round ending.

The 28-year-old Noria (2-3, 1 KO) lost a third straight fight.

Following Price’s win, super lightweight prospect Richardson Hitchins needed just one minute and 17 seconds to knock out Alexander Charneco.

Hitchins hit Charneco with a right hand to the body that left Charneco on the canvas, writhing in pain. He couldn’t get up and the scheduled six-rounder was stopped.

The 20-year-old Hitchins, a 2016 Olympian from Brooklyn, improved to 5-0 and recorded his third knockout. Charneco (4-5, 4 KOs) has lost four fights in a row.

Heather Hardy vs Paola Torres in the ring.

[marvelous marv]

I have Hardy winning round 1.

Torres winning round 2

[marvelous marv]

Torres round 3. She is pushing foward and Hardy is fighting going backward.

[marvelous marv]

Round 4 for Hardy. Torres still coming foward but much less effective. Possibly tiring.

[marvelous marv]

Round 5 Hardy
Round 6 Torres all even with two rounds left.

[marvelous marv]

I have it 4 rounds each after 8. A draw?

[marvelous marv]

I feel like Hardy may have edged an extra round somewhere. Let's see what judges say

[marvelous marv]

78-74 twice and 79-73 all for Hardy. Crowd did not seem to like that decision but I think Hardy won the fight albeit closer.

Rau'shee Warren vs Juan Medina in the ring. Didn't warren win an eliminator in his last fight?

[marvelous marv]

Warren with a dominant round 1

[marvelous marv]

Warren dominant in round 2 and 3.

[marvelous marv]

Warren with a shut out thru 4. He seems more suited to the 118 pound class. Seems like there is a little more power on his punches while retaining speed.

Warren with a shut out thru 4. He seems more suited to the 118 pound class. Seems like there is a little more power on his punches while retaining speed.

Sometimes it's like that. It's never a good thing to be draining yourself to make weight I don't think. Especially if strength and power isn't your primary focus as a fighter
