Detroit’s Frank Martin dismantled Southern California’s Jerry Perez and won by knockout in a battle between undefeated lightweight prospects on Tuesday.

Martin (13-0, 10 KOs), a southpaw, proved to Perez (13-1, 10 KOs) that he was a step or two superior before no fans at the Shrine Exposition Center in Los Angeles. He won almost every round on the Premier Boxing Champions fight card.

As soon as the fight commenced it was evident that Perez had problems figuring out the antidote for Martin’s quickness and sharp attacks. Four rounds into the fight the Southern Californian discovered the body attack worked best.

Martin adapted to the body attack and used movement from one side to the other to keep Perez off balance. He also used a steady supply of right jabs.

Perez pushed the pace but when Martin flashed a double right jab followed by a left cross to the chin, down went Perez. He barely survived and got up at the sound of the 10-second warning. The fight resumed with Martin unloading a volley of blows. Referee Jerry Cantu stopped the fight at 2:59 of round seven. One second remained and Perez seemed surprised by the stoppage.

It was Martin’s first win over an opponent with a winning record and stamped him as a legitimate prospect.

Other Bouts

Marcus Browne (24-1,16 KOs) returned to the light heavyweight wars and defeated veteran fighter Denis Grachev (20-13-1) by unanimous decision after 10 rounds. It was his first return to the boxing ring since losing to Jean Pascal who floored him three times in August 2018.

Mexico’s Armando Resendiz (12-0) won by split decision over Quilisto Madera (12-3) in a fight that went back and forth between two super middleweights over eight rounds. Both fighters took turns clinching and both suffered by the tactic. One judge scored it 77-75 for Madera who held early in the fight. Two judges scored it 78-74 and 77-75 for Resendiz who held incessantly in the second half of the fight.

A super lightweight contest saw Jesus Silveyra (9-6-2) upset Amon Rashidi (8-2-1) after an eight-round slugfest fought mostly inside. It had been nearly three years since has last fight and four years since he last was victorious. The Mexican fighter was able to take advantage of Rashidi who clinched often allowing Silveyra openings to attack. All three judges scored in favor of Silveyra.

Cameron Sevilla Rivera (9-6-3) defeated Burley Brooks (6-2) by decision. Brooks was deducted a crucial point for low blows. It proved to be the difference as two judges scored it 57-56 for Sevilla in the middleweight fight.

Travon Marshall (1-0) won his super welterweight pro debut with a solar plexus punch that dropped Christian Marron (0-2) at 33 seconds into the opening round.

Ezequiel Flores (1-0) defeated Juan Muro (0-1) by unanimous decision after four rounds in a super bantamweight fight.
