***********************************************

Burley Brooks, a light heavyweight from Dallas, knocked down Fabian Valdez four times before referee Ivan Guillermo stopped their scheduled six-rounder 2:35 into the first round. Brooks (4-0, 4 KOs) dropped Valdez (3-6) with left hands to the body each time that the Mexican veteran went down.

Valdez has lost five of his past six bouts by knockout.

Following Brooks’ knockout, Dallas’ Juan Antonio Lopez scored a mild upset when he defeated Fernando Garcia by unanimous decision in an eight-round featherweight fight.

Lopez (15-7, 6 KOs) was busier and more accurate throughout their bout. He also opened a cut across the bridge of Garcia’s nose with a punch during the fourth round.

Lopez won by scores of 79-73, 79-73 and 77-75.

After winning the first 12 fights of his career, Garcia (12-2, 7 KOs) lost a second straight eight-round decision. In his previous fight, Mexico’s Dennis Contreras (21-10-1, 19 KOs) beat him by majority decision May 25 in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Is it the prelims now on FS1?

Valenzuela wins again

Unbeaten junior lightweight Jose Valenzuela (5-0, 2 KO), of Mexico, drilled Charles Clark (2-5-1, 1 KO), of Dallas, in a first-round knockout victory. Valenzuela nailed Clark with a heavy right hand that dropped him along the ropes. He was very shaky as he attempted to get up, and referee Gerard White waved off the fight at 1 minute, 6 seconds.

Rodriguez dominates Maddox

Super middleweight Misael Rodriguez (10-5, 4 KOs), a 2016 Mexican Olympic bronze medalist, laid a beating on Brandon Maddox (7-3-1, 5 KOs), of Dallas until his corner pulled him out of the fight after the end of the third round.

Maidana wins in Round 1

Junior welterweight Fabian Maidana (17-1, 13 KOs), the younger brother of former welterweight and junior welterweight world titlist Marcos Maidana, blew away journeyman Ramses Agaton (21-11-3, 11 KOs), of Mexico, in the first round. Maidana scored three knockdowns before referee Thomas Taylor stopped the fight at 2 minutes, 7 seconds. Maidana rebounded from suffering his first defeat, a 10-round decision to Jaider Parra in January.

Lopez outpoints Garcia

In an all-Dallas featherweight bout Juan Antonio Lopez (15-7, 6 KOs) outfought Fernando Garcia (12-2, 7 KOs) to score the upset. He won 79-73, 79-73 and 77-75 in an action fight in which he got the better of most exchanges.

Lawson KOs Zavala

Junior middleweight Leon Lawson III (12-0, 5 KOs), of Flint Michigan, knocked out Alan Zavala (15-6, 13 KOs), of Mexico, in the second round of their scheduled eight-rounder. Lawson, the cousin of super middleweight titleholder Anthony Dirrell, dropped Zavala in the second round and referee Thomas Taylor counted him out at 2 minutes, 27 seconds.

Welterweight Alfonso Olvera (11-7-3, 4 KOs), of Mexico, upset Amon Rashidi (7-1, 5 KOs), of Dallas, in a one-sided fight. Olvera outhustled Rashidi and outpunched throughout the bout to win 79-73, 79-73 and 78-74.

This Gerald Thomas who's fighting Robert Guerrero on the prelims is just terrible. Swings wide, and from a distance like an amateur. If Robert were younger he'd have done knocked this guy out. Even as is he'll win every round, and probably still stop him anyway. Or at least shut him out.

Sucks. Maybe next time they'll match Robert with a guy that can actually fight a little

Molina has hahad so many forks stuck into him to see if he is done he can't go swimming any more because he sinks like a stone.

These american refs want a boxer cabbaged before they wave a fight off

Welterweight is to big for Molina

Anyone scoring Barrios fight ?

r1 to Barrios.

2-0 Barrios

Is that 2-1 ?

Or just seemed good because the Kazakh was better ?
