(October 23, 2020) – Last night’s entertaining Roy Jones Jr. Boxing Promotions (RJJ Boxing) and iKON Fighting Federation (iKON) doubleheader was held outdoors at Marinaterra Hotel Spa Event Center in San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico.
Another undefeated Mexican fighter, Alan “Cachorro” Solis (11-0, 6 KOs), kept his perfect record intact with an 8-round unanimous decision over Mexican featherweight Eddy “Dinamita” Valencia (15-5-6, 5 KOs). A 6-time Mexican National amateur champion, the 21-year-old Solis has successfully transitioned from a solid amateur (87-6) to promising pro prospect.
Guatemalan super middleweight sensation Lester Martinez (6-0, 6 KOs) added another notable name to his list of victims, ironically, with the same nickname, “El Matador,” stopping veteran Mexican fighter Michi Munoz (28-12-1, 19 KOs) with a vicious body shot in the opening round. Martinez, 24, turned pro last year at home in impressive style, knocking out 3-time, 2-division world champion Ricardo Mayorga (32-11-1, 26 KOs) in the second round.
Jesus “Tigrillo” Hernandez (2-1-1) took a 4-round split decision from pro-debuting Giovanny Meza (0-1) in a battle of Mexican welterweights.
The action switched to mixed martial arts and Mexican featherweight Alejandro “Toro” Flores (18-3-0) won a 3-round unanimous decision in the iKon 2 main event against Andy “Golden Boy” Perez (10-9-0), who fights out of Tucson, Arizona.
The much-anticipated pro debut of bantamweight Bella Mir (1-0-0) resulted in a 3-round unanimous decision win for the 17-year-old from Las Vegas against Atlanta’s pro-debuting Danielle Wynn (0-1-0) in the co-featured event. Bella’s father is legendary 2-time UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir.
Las Vegas super middleweight Jonny “The Paradox” Parsons (6-2-0, iKON: 2-0-0) has found a new home in iKON. He stopped his Mexican opponent, Juan Raymon Grano Medina (6-5-1) in round one on strikes to become the only fighter to be 2-0 in iKON competition.
Mexican lightweight Daniel “Roka” Palomares (4-1-0) locked in a rear naked choke for victory by third-round submission of Anthony “Dead Game” Jimenez (5-2-1), of San Bernardino, California. The pro debut of Pete “Dean Game” Rodriguez (1-0-0) couldn’t have gone any better. The Tucson (AZ) super welterweight used an aggressive ground-and-pound attack to knockout Jorge “Halcon” Olea (2-3-0) in round one.
