Unbeaten IBF welterweight champion Jaron “Boots” Ennis (33-0, 29 KOs) secured a twelve-round unanimous decision victory over Karen Chukhadzhian (24-3, 13 KOs) on Saturday night at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In their previous encounter in January 2023, Ennis had effortlessly defeated Chukhadzhian over twelve rounds. However, Chukhadzhian managed to secure a rematch by becoming a mandatory IBF challenger. This time, Chukhadzhian displayed more aggression, winning some early rounds. In round five, Ennis delivered a powerful uppercut that sent Chukhadzhian to the knee. Chukhadzhian was penalized with a point deduction for holding in round ten. The final scores were 119-107, 117-109, and 116-110.

WBC super flyweight champion Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez (21-0, 14 KOs) delivered an impressive performance, defeating former world champion Pedro Guevara (42-5-1, 22 KOs) with a third-round knockout. Rodriguez managed to drop Guevara twice, ultimately ending the fight in the third round. The match lasted for 2:47.

Former world champion Raymond “Savage” Ford, with a record of 16-1-1 and 8 knockouts, made a triumphant return to the super featherweight division. In a ten-round unanimous decision, Ford secured a hard-fought victory over Orlando Gonzalez, who stands at 23-4 with 13 knockouts. The scores were unanimous, with all three judges scoring the fight 100-88. Gonzalez was down twice during the bout.

Middleweight Austin “Ammo” Williams (17-1, 12 KOs) achieved a fifth-round technical knockout over Gian Garrido (11-2, 8 KOs). The bout was abruptly terminated by the referee due to Williams’ relentless assault on Garrido while the fighter was pinned to the ropes.
