Heavyweight prospect Deontay Wilder registered his 26th stoppage in 26 bouts inside four rounds with a third round knockout win over previously undefeated Kelvin Price at the LA Sports Arena.
The 'Bronze Bomber' made heavy weather of the first two rounds as the crowd booed, but then exploded with an overhand right early in the third and that was the end of Price as the referee pulled out of the count after three handing Wilder the win.
Light-middleweight contender Alfredo Angulo looked to be in for a routine night's work against Jorge Silva as the Mexican was on the verge of a stoppage on more than one occasion in the first four rounds.
Silva, 20, fought back gallantly though to defiantly make it to the final bell and cause 'Perro' one or two problems along the way as all three judges handed Angulo a 97-93 victory to push his record to 22-2 with 18 stoppages.
Shawn Porter lost his perfect record after an entertaining ten round battle with former lightweight champion Julio Diaz. The American was dragged into a war with the Mexican and proved his chin as the two fighters gave their all from start to finish.
Two of the ringside judges scored the fight 96-94 either way, with the third carding 95-95 to possibly set up a rematch in the New Year. Porter's new record stands at 20-0-1, whilst Diaz moves to 40-7-1.
