Alycia Baumgardner vs Bo Mi Re Shin – results and post-fight report
Alycia Baumgardner defended her WBA, IBF and WBO super featherweight titles, scoring wide against Bo Mi Re Shin over 10 three-minute rounds at the top of the Most Valuable Promotions card at the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden in Up-to-date York.
Baumgardner (18-1, 7 KO) went 12 rounds for the first time in her last outing, defeating Leila Beaudoin in Miami, while former world title challenger Re Shin (19-4-3, 10 KO) earned a majority decision victory, pushing Caroline Dubois to fight for the WBC lightweight title earlier.
The champion started robust, with a dominant opening round, boosted by a solid second where her punch combinations kept her opponent unsettled.
A nice right hand landed for the visitor in the third period, but the 31-year-old Baumgardner responded with a powerful right of her own, and a powerful uppercut rocked the challenger a round later.
Re Shin, however, was competitive and clearly hurt the American in the sixth round, and in the seventh round she continued her momentum, with a meaty left hand finding the target.
Try as she might, the 32-year-old South Korean couldn’t handle the pressure, and Baumgardner used her moves to avoid trouble.
The pair then opened in the final frame, much to the delight of the crowd, but when the final bell rang, there was no dispute as to who was the winner.
“Bomba” kept the belts with scores of 99-91 and 98-92×2 and called for a fight against Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano.
Green stunned by Daniels

Daniels (12-4-2, 2 KO) increased the pressure in the penultimate round, and several unanswered shots forced the referee to intervene.
Green (16-2, 11 KO) was taken from the ring on a stretcher.

Dmitry Bivol returned home to Russia after over 500 days away from the ring due to an injury in his match against Michael Eifert.
Bivol summed up his best form against Eifert, who won by unanimous decision.
From the first round, Bivol showed no signs of ring rust, despite spending significant time outside the squared circle.
He knocked down Eifert slow in the first round and dominated the early stages of the fight, looking much better and sharper than his opponent.
Instead of forcing a break, the former undisputed lightweight heavyweight champion of the world took his time and put together a patient boxing display that has become the hallmark of a typical Bivol performance.
Towards the end of the fifth round, Bivol began to pick up the pace and continued to punish Eifert, who was having difficulty gaining distance and creating a significant threat.
In the 10th round the situation was very similar. Bivol was riding, and Eifert, despite his brave performance, was unable to trouble the champion.

Bivol applied the pressure in the 11th minute, clearly hurting his opponent with a brutal body shot that slowed down Eifert.
He chased the German around the ring and dominated the action until the final bell.
After a decisive victory, Bivol will now face a more arduous test. Two names stand out for his next fight: Artur Beterbiev to complete his epic trilogyor David Benavidez if he should return to cruiserweight.

Eddie Hearn detailed Oleksandr Usyk’s stoppage win over Rico Verhoeven.
Verhoeven pushed Usyk until the 11th round, causing many to question the Ukrainian’s preparation. However, Hearn disagreed.
Last weekend, he became the two-time undisputed heavyweight champion of the world returned during a historic event organized by Turki Alalshikh and The Ring magazine in front of the historic Giza Pyramids.
Usyk faced kickboxing icon Verhoeven in a fight that many thought would be straightforward for the champion, but it wasn’t.
The Dutchman gave a phenomenal performance and, in the eyes of many people, gave Usyk the toughest test of his career so far.
Hearn spoke to Fighting Hub TV and praised the challenger’s performance.
“You can’t take anything away from Rico, what he did was amazing.
“He was so unconventional, that’s one of the arduous things for a boxer, but normally Usyk would adapt to the style and find a way.
“I thought he was behind after 10 rounds. I thought the break was early, I thought the bell rang.
“He was unbelievable, so astute against the smartest in Usyk. It was great.”
Controversy surrounding the victory emerged already during the break. Verhoeven was ahead on many people’s scorecards and was eliminated in the 11th round with just 10 seconds left.
Usyk set up a series of attacks and referee Mark Lyson stepped in to stop the fight, even though the final shots appeared to have been thrown after the buzzer.
Although Hearn believed Verhoeven was in danger and could have been stopped in the final round, he believed the referee’s decision was wrong.
“I think he probably would have stopped him in the 12th minute, but we were robbed of finding out about it and Rico deserved to see what he could do in the 12th.”
Many questioned the winner’s preparation and whether he had taken Verhoeven seriously beforehand. Hearn provided insight into what could have changed during this camp.
“I think Usyk will always take it seriously, but the reality is he’s a guy who values legacy and this was a money fight.
“It wasn’t a fight he asked for, it was a fight that was presented to him and they said, ‘Yes, we’ll take it.’
“The others talked about legacy, about becoming a two-time, three-time undisputed world champion.”
Following Usyk’s victory, his next step remains unknown, but the promoter has outlined what he believes the ideal route will be before the 39-year-old finally leaves the sport.
“If I were Usyk, I would have a rematch with Rico Verhoeven right away in the Netherlands and probably end my career there.
“I don’t think he has to fight Kabayel, who is a great fighter, but what does he have to prove?”

The two exchanged words throughout the build-up, and their rivalry ended on Tuesday when Foster pushed aside his rival as they came face-to-face for the first time during fight week.
