Bright Edwards vs. Felix Alvarado
Published

By
J. HumzaBright Edwards made a routine third defense of his IBF flyweight title, defeating Felix Alvarado at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield.
Edwards (19-0, 4 KO) won the title with a stunning points victory in April 2021 against Moruti Mthalane and made two defenses in Dubai with wins over Jayson Mama and Muhammad Waseem on the cards, while Alvarado (38-3, 33 KO) he previously reigned as the 2018-2021 IBF lightweight flyweight champion, defending twice before moving up to a higher weight class.
Edwards made a familiar, elusive start and the challenger struggled to pin down the Croydon fighter in the first round.
In the second half, the Nicaraguan had more success with wing-to-body shots, but the champion performed solidly in defense.
‘It’s show time’ in the third quarter, he hit a keen counterattack and although the guy kept pushing forward, the 26-year-old was one step ahead of him and reprimanded any primitive forward movements of his opponent.
Edwards fired mostly at the gloves and arms and was largely in control, but Alvarado began to get into an argument midway through pure pressure.
However, the home favorite fought to regain control in the championship rounds, avoiding trouble and frustrating Alvarado, landing impressive series in the process.

The fight went to the cards, with two scores of 115-113 and the third score of 116-112 ensuring “Showtime” defended its crown.
Edwards has called for a fight with former American super flyweight world champion Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez, who is expected to move up to flyweight.
Masoud marches alongside Bateson
Shabaz Masoud won the WBA Intercontinental super bantamweight title and British title eliminator, defeating Jack Bateson in the twelfth and final round of their meeting.
The 26-year-old also won the Ali Tazeem commemorative trophy.

A counter combination led to a final-round knockdown of Masoud (11-0, 4 KO), putting an exclamation point on what had been an eye-catcher, and while Bateson (17-1, 4 KO) survived the count, another attack by “Maverick” forced the fight to be stopped. as the Leeds fighter dropped towards the bottom rope.
Braithwaite defeats Essomba
In a tumultuous fight, the final eliminator for the British super flyweight title was won by Marcel Braithwaite, who scored a split decision over twelve rounds against Thomas Essomba.
One of the judges awarded Essomba 116-113 (11-8-1, 4 KO), but Braithwaite (14-3) deservedly secured the victory by scores of 117-111 and 116-114.

Braithwaite weighed in at over 114 pounds, so it’s unclear whether he’ll be fielded for a future Lonsdale Belt fight.
Undercard remaining
2020 Olympic gold medalist Hebert Conceicao was present in Sheffield and the Brazilian was largely unimpressive but untested in a winning six-round points victory over Gideon Onyenani (4-2). Conceicao (3-0, 1 KO) won every round.
Levi Kinsiona was upset when the Sheffield lightweight was defeated in eight rounds in his fight against Alin Florin.
Kinsiona (9-3, 1 KO) suffered a grave injury in the later rounds and it was a close fight that would have been a welcome rematch. Florin (17-3, 7 KO) scored a 77-76 victory on the judge’s scorecard.
Ishmael Davis (10-0, 4 KO) remained undefeated, and the middleweight fighter had to stop the fight with German Dustin Ammann (7-8, 5 KO) in the fifth round.
Nicola Campbell (10-1, 2 KO) scored a six-point victory in her opening super middleweight match against Frane Radnic (11-35, 10 KO).
Lisa Whiteside extended her undefeated streak as the super bantamweight champion scored over eight rounds against Eva Cantos.
Judge Michael Alexander awarded the score 79-74.
Lithe heavyweight Bradley Cousins (4-1) returned to winning ways with a points victory over Genadij Krajevski (0-42).

Maxi Hughes defended his IBO lightweight title for a second time with a majority decision victory over former world champion Kid Galahad at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham.
The original winner of the event was supposed to be home hero Leigh Wood defending his WBA featherweight title against Mauricio Lara, but Wood was forced to withdraw due to injury.
Hughes (26-5-2, KO5) came into this in the form of his life after a brilliant two years in which he won the British and WBC International titles, then captured the IBO strap with a points victory over Jovanni Straffon in September last year. He made his first save in March, significantly outperforming Ryan Walsh. Galahad (28-3, KO17) fulfilled his dream of becoming the IBF featherweight world champion last August, but his first defense shattered his world when Kiko Martinez stopped him six to three months later.
Galahad started this round confidently at the start, having enjoyed a decent first round, but Hughes stepped up to the plate and engaged in an argument, although the rounds were challenging to come by. Hughes landed his left hand, which gave him a foothold in the contest, but the rounds were uneven and it was a matter of what you liked. Galahad worked the body well in the second half, but round nine was Hughes’ best yet, landing cleanly and then landing his left hand consistently. Galahad had a point deducted for using his head in round ten, which lifted Hughes’ spirits, but once again the Yorkshireman led with his jab, which seemed to keep him alive in the fight. Hughes’ work rate allowed him to finish well in the final round, and by the time the fight was over the result looked to be a winnable one.

Terri Harper (13-1-1, KO6) won the WBA and IBO super welterweight titles with an impressive points victory over Hannah Rankin (12-6, KO3).
Harper was previously the WBC and IBO super featherweight champion, and in her last fight she fought at lightweight. The Dennaby native Main moved up about three weight classes to face Rankin.
What a right-hand man for Harper 💨#RankinHarper pic.twitter.com/5yydphID2D

Harper was too quick and exact for a Scot early on, leaving Rankin with a nasty cut above her left eye. Harper stayed one step ahead almost the entire race and tired in the behind schedule stages, but won by two scores of 98-92 and one third by a score of 97-93.

Claressa Shields once again became the undisputed middleweight champion with a breathless points victory over Savannah Marshall in a thriller at the O2 Arena in London.
History was made as the fight was all-women’s and culminated in a long-awaited grudge match between two opponents with history as Marshall (12-1, KO10) defeated Shields (13-0, KO2) as an amateur before the American scored two Olympic gold medals and became the undisputed champion as a professional in the middleweight and super welterweight divisions. Marshall became the WBO middleweight champion in October 2020 and has defended three times, all on schedule.
Marshall came running to meet Shields from the first bell, but the American pounced on Marshall with multiple shots to the head and body midway through the first round. The pair traded to start the second, with Marshall landing a substantial right hand but then being caught by an uppercut as the frantic action continued. Shields’ speed gave her the edge against Marshall’s powerful striking, and the fourth saw her step out on the front foot, regularly out-boxing Marshall. Marshall rallied in the fifth, pinning Shields down in the corner, but “GWOAT” had the better of the exchanges.
The pace is INCREDIBLE! 😳#MarshallShields | @boxxer pic.twitter.com/EzjRM3tS2G

Shields was excellent, although she was starting to tire in the sixth period, yet she still peppered her opponent with solid shots. Marshall had her best round yet in the seventh, landing decent hooks and body shots, and Shields was cut above the left eye in the eighth as Marshall gained confidence. In the penultimate round, the two men swapped places again and traded skin until the final bell, when the crowd was on its feet at the end.

Baumgardner’s Unification
There were plenty of world titles on offer in the co-main event, with Alicia Baumgardner (13-1, KO7) adding the IBF and WBO super featherweight titles to her WBC belt with a split decision win over Mikaela Mayer (17-17-). 1, KO5).
There were a lot of pins and needles throughout the preparations and it was the Detroit native who came out on top in the injury battle.

Mayer started well, using her boxing skills to good effect, but Baumgardner found success in miniature, keen bursts. The pair attracted attention at various stages and it seemed that Mayer’s slick and clever boxing won the fight, but Baumgardner’s aggression seemed to win the fight in the end for the judges, and she won by two points, 96-95, topping the 97-93 score for Mayer.
Undercard remaining
Caroline Dubois (4-0, KO3) was once again in absolute form when the athlete stopped Milena Koleva (10-15-1, KO4) in the fifth round. Dubois knocked Koleva to the ground in the fourth round, and a session later, a body shot bent Koleva, and another attack left the guy stabbed on the ropes and the referee waved him off and stopped the fight.

In addition to Dubois, another pair of British Olympians were in action, with 2020 Olympic gold medalist Lauren Price (2-0, KO1) impressing with a fourth-round stoppage of welterweight Timea Belik (6-7, KO2). Price was a level ahead of her opponent and the fight was wisely called off as Belik came under ponderous fire.
