WBO World Middleweight championship:

Demetrius Andrade vs Maciej Sulecki

Maciej Sulecki comes out first wearing a white rope with matching trunks and red shoes with a matching scarf.

The hometown hero Demetrius Boo Boo Andrade comes out to a happy wild crowd as the energy level at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center reaches a climax. Andrade wearing a gray wolf mask with white trunks with maroon trim.

Michael Buffer says: Lets get ready to rumble-and here we go- Main Event Time:

Round 1.

Andrade comes out quick and scores a quick knock down of Sulecki in the first round. Sulecki is able to weather the storm and land a few good shots at the tale end of the round.

Round 2.

A lot of distance between the two men now making it very difficult for either man to land anything significant. Very good fast exciting pace to the fight.

Round 3.

Both fighters keeping a lot of distance between them again. Sulecki doing well for facing an undefeated world Champion as 7,000 fans root against him.

What a round as Boo Boo looking to make it a short night by squaring up and unloading some serious power shots. Sulecki very sleek in the ring thus far though.

Round 4.

Andrade winning the round by landing more shots then Sulecki. Sulecki is having some good moments by landing some counter shots.

Sulecki is going to have to get a little more active so he can start possibly winning some rounds on the judges score cards.

Round 5.

Andrade using his speed to land some power rights. Sulecki lands a good right of his own. Andrade is like a lion in their tonight.

Round 6.

Andrade doing a good job of not forgetting about Sulecki body. Every now and then he pumps a good combination to Sulecki’s body.

Andrade’s side to side movement is making it difficult for Sulecki to get into a rhythm. A slow round for both guys.

Round 7 & 8. Andrade again still using great side to side movement as both guys pick their spots to throw punches. Not to much action at the moment. The crowd is getting a bit restless with all the dancing.

Round 9.

Andrade basically took the round off and Sulecki landed a few good shots as he is currently the aggressor in the match. Andrade finding out that Sulecki is a good boxer and not an easy out. Andrade being a bit careful, but you get the feeling Andrade can end the fight with one punch as he is very talented.

Round 10.

Andrade fighting in an odd low crouching Style, looking for the big right hand. Sulecki doesn’t currently have an answer for this low fighting stance Andrade is currently in. Andrade has way to much speed for Sulecki.

Round 11.

Sulecki is going to have to go for broke if he wants any chance of winning the world championship. He needs to understand that the Challenger hast to wrestle the title away from the champion and not the other way around. Very few punches being thrown in the round. When Andrade is moving/ running like this it’s practically impossible to hit him.

Round 12.

Lots of moving and jabbing in a very disappointing homecoming final round.

Winner: Demetrius Andrade by UD

Demetrius Andrade improves his record to 28-0 in his homecoming to the Ocean State.

Other Action From Providence:

12 x 3 minutes rounds:

Heavyweight Division:

Joseph Parker vs. Alex Leapai

Parker comes to the ring wearing beautiful white trunks with gold trim and Leapai is wearing red trunks with blue trim along with matching shoes.

Both men know what’s at stake for this fight and they are determined to win. The winner will be up for a big money main event fight.

Round 1.

Parker comes out pumping the jab. Parker hurts Leapai in the blue corner and unloads a barrage of shots, but the tough Australian survives the round and also has some good moments of his own.

Round 2.

Parker hits Leapai with everything he has and Leapai isn’t budging. Leapai throwing a looping monster right that misses and zaps all

his energy as well as these two giants end the round holding.

Round 3.

And now Parker lands a low blow and the referee calls time. Leapai does not take advantage of the rest period and wants to continue to fight. Both men landing uppercuts but Parker simply landing a lot more and scoring more. Parker also doing terrific body work. Boy is Leapai tough.

Round 4.

Parker lands a barrage of right hands that stun Leapai. Leapai coming forward with the jab as Parker keeps throwing and landing. Leapai does some great work at the closing seconds of the round landing a big right and left on Parker.

Round 5.

Parker doing a terrific job of boxing, using combinations and staying on the outside. After Parker lands his right, he’s not jumping in and leaving himself open for Leapai’s power like Joshua did against Ruiz. I think lots of big Heavyweights learned from Joshua’s mistakes.

Round 6.

Another round in the bank for Parker as he continues to work the body and the head. Leapai’s looping right is getting slower and slower.

Round 7.

Parker really taking it to Leapai now and eating a bit of leather for his efforts. Parker eager to put Leapai away.

Slow round as both men are completely exhausted.

Round 10.

Referee Ricky Gonzalez decides that he doesn’t want to work anymore and stops the fight for some reason.

Round 1.

Good feel out round for both competitors, Jimenez is a bit slower then Yafai and also

looks a bit rougher around the edges.

Round 2.

Yafai catches Jimenez with a left hook that rocks Jimenez as he tries to find his balance again. Yafai is being the aggressor now walking forward and throwing power shots, in the process not respecting Jimenez at all.

Round 3 & 4.

This is turning into a good fight as Jimenez is holding his own in a dull fight.

Round 5.

Yafai lands a low blow and Jimenez looks to milk it for a while and here we go. A boxing match breaks out as we see the best action of the fight thus far.

Round 6.

Good scrap breaking out as even Matchroom Head Eddie Hearn is standing up and rooting for the action. Yafai is getting the best out of a game Jimenez.

Round 7.

Jimenez has his best round of the fight landing clean on Yafai. I don’t know if it’s enough to win the round, but this is getting good.

Round 8.

Yafai lands another low blow and the crowd starts booing as they think Jimenez is faking. Now the crowd sees the replay and see it was a legitimate low blow.

Round 9.

Jimenez starting to box well and get into a groove. He might be to behind on the cards to be a finesse fighter.

Round 10 & 11.

Looks like to boxers sparring and training as opposed to trying to impress and capture the crowd. Lots of boring chants from the fans.

Round 12.

Yafai hits Jimenez as he’s falling to the canvas on a trip. Yafai catches Jimenez with a punch that’s sends Jimenez down and this awkward fight has finally come to an end as both fighters spend the last 20 seconds of the last round bouncing up and down and dancing.

Winner: Khalid Yafai by UD

I don’t think this is the action Matchroom Boxing was looking for when they paired these 115 pounders up.

The crowd boos so load that it’s difficult to hear the post fight interview.

Mark Deluca (23-1) vs. Brandon Brewer (23-0)

Round 1.

Canadian Brandon Brewer comes into the ring wearing black trunks with red trim and has a variety of colorful tattoos. Brewer did a good job controlling the fight by using his height advantage over Deluca. Deluca seems to be a bit quicker, that might be because Brewer likes to really load up on his punches.

Round 5.

Deluca continues to land his left hook and left uppercut doing a lot of damage to Brewer.

Round 6.

Deluca must be asking himself, “what do I have to do to get this guy out of here?”. Brewer  is taking all of Deluca’s shots and keeps on coming. Time to look for the kitchen sink.

Round 7.

This is a very scary fight as Brewer keeps coming forward, but Deluca has registered so many punches, the referee might have to look to stop the fight for Brewer’s safety.

Brewer is to tough for his own good.
