Arnold Barboza Jr vs. Kenneth Sims Jr – results and post-fight report
Arnold Barboza Jr. returned to winning ways in Anaheim in the early hours of the morning, defeating Kenneth Sims Jr.
Barboza Jr scored wide decisions over Sims Jr.
Before the competition, the 34-year-old suffered his first defeat on the pitch against Teofimo Lopez.
However, he made no mistakes last night, winning almost every round.
Three judges saw it: 117-111, 118-110, 120-108
Barboza was a level above the rather disappointing Sims Jr. on the night, even though he was unable to stop his man, he rode throughout the entire contest.
The American wasted no time in calling out Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney in his post-fight interview.
“Hey, who wouldn’t mind seeing me and Ryan Garcia in this arena, man?”
Alexis Rocha also shouted out the winner, claiming there would be a “war.”
Oscar Collazo vs. Jesus Haro
Collazo defended his WBO minimumweight crown in the co-main event.
He put pressure on the first beam and was the better player on the night.
Collazo made it his mission to dismantle Haro’s body, and his opponent seemed to grow weaker and the end seemed inevitable.
The fight was ultimately stopped with a cut to Haro’s left eye after an accidental clash of heads and the fight was called off.
Collazo became the winner and defended his belt in style.

Gabriela Fundora vs. Viviana Ruiz
Undisputed World Champion Gabriela Fundora returned to action on the card and flawlessly defended her undisputed crown.
Fundora was the bigger competitor in her fight and made her opponent pay to get into the ring as she was struggling with an injury to begin with.
“Sweet Poison” really started to benefit Ruiz in the fourth round, knocking her down after a good combination.
The referee had seen enough in the sixth round and called off the fight.

Undercard remaining
The Alexis Rocha vs. Joseph Diaz Jr fight took place in the welterweight division, with Rocha returning after more than 14 months away from the squared circle.
He faced Diaz, who was eliminated after a penniless performance against Regis Prograis last August.
Rocha made no mistake after a long break, winning by a decisive points decision.
Also in the welterweight division, Joel Iriarte stopped Rock Dodler Myrthil, and Grant Flores passed Rashid Stevens in the super welterweight division.

There were three second round stoppages early in the third round, with Daniel Garcia, Cayden Griffiths and Leonardo Sanchez all claiming victories before the third round began.
Fabian Guzman also had a mighty performance and took a unanimous decision, with two judges scoring the fight 79-73 in his favor.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
