On a warm summer night at the Quiet Cannon in Montebello, California, Ed Holmes of All-Star Boxing in association with Bash Boxing presented a capacity crowd of about eight hundred fans to an exciting and competitive night of boxing. Even though only three bouts took place, because of California Athletic Commission strict rules, nobody went home disappointed.

In the main even of the evening, a six rounder in a featherweight division, Jesus” Pollo” Hernandez(7-0,2KO’S) from East Los Angeles, California had to overcome a second round knock down to submit his foe Inzuna from Sinaloa, Mexico by the end of fifth stanza. Hernandez, who is managed by Frank Espinoza, pressed the action from the onset and looked more polished than his overmatched opponent. After being stunned and tasting a canvas “Pollo” got up and resumed pushing the pace and putting together good combinations both to the body and head. Fifth round was especially dominant for Hernandez, who threw a lot of accurate punches and hurt his foe several times, at the conclusion of which Inzuna’s corner had seen enough and threw in a white towel.
 

The first fight of the evening was a barnburner, a six round middleweight battle between two undefeated warriors: Russian-born Max Skayzer and Javier Sanchez. What these pugs lacked in skills they supplied tenfold with their grit and determination to win.

Max brought his own cheering section which roared with every blow landed and they did have a lot to cheer about: these two combatants stood toe to toe in the trenches and fired heavy artillery at each other for six rounds. Max neglected to use his reach and height advantage and went to war on the inside to the delight of the crowd that was on their feet for the duration of the bout. Judges score cards: 58-56, 59-55, 60-54 for Skayzer did not fully reflect how highly contested this fight really was.

The Armenian-born, super welterweight, Arnen Osepyan, trained by Justine Fortune, dominated his outgunned opponent John Dunham and forced the referee to stop the contest at 2 minutes and fourteen seconds of the third round.
 

Kudos to All-Star Boxing: good venue to develop young prospects
