Arias was penalized a point for shouldering in the fifth round. The scores were 96-93 for Arias, 96-93, and 96-93 for Alexander. In a surprise, middleweight contender Luis Arias (20-2-1, 9 KOs) was beaten by Vaughn Alexander (16-6-1, 9 KOs) by a 10 round split decision.Despite the disappointing ending results, it was a fun fight. This was a seesaw battle with both guys unloading heavy shots and quickly becoming arm-weary from their efforts to score an early knockout. Heavyweight prospect Carlos Garcon (2-0-1, 2 KOs) battled Jason Soto (3-1-2, 3 KOs) to a four round draw. The loss for Marriaga was his second in his last three fights. Marriaga has an incredibly entertaining style, and he made this fight exciting the entire time. Marriaga, 35, landed a lot of heavy shots, but the work rate from Ramirez was too much in the end. Ramirez, 28, threw a massive number of shots to try and slow the powerful Colombian Marriaga down, but he stayed in there until the bitter end, winning hard shots with knockout intentions.

Granted, Derevyanchenko’s promoters have done him no favors with their tough match-making, putting him in this murderer’s row since 2018: Daniel Jacobs, Gennadiy Golovkin, and Jermall Charlo. The loss for Derevyanchenko is his third consecutive and fourth in his last five fights. Moreover, the 97-93 score for Adames was shockingly bad, making it difficult to understand how the judges derived to come with that outcome. The scoring, however, was troubling because it looked like the judges gave it to the wrong man. All in all, it was an excellent fight and easily the most entertaining on the card thus far. In the second half of the fight, Adames, 27, looked tired and clearly was feeling the face pace that Derevyanchenko was setting. Derevyanchenko appeared to take over the fight from the fourth round on, hurting Adames repeatedly with heavy shots to the head. Boxing News 24 had the 36-year-old Derevyanchenko winning the fight 96-94.
