Unbeaten heavyweight Joseph Parker (9-0, 8 KOs) scored a seventh round TKO over Pennsylvanian Brian “The Beast” Minto (39-8, 25 KOs) on Saturday night at the Vodafone Events Centre in Manukau City, New Zealand. The normally uber-aggressive Minto fought cautiously against the much larger Parker. Parker landed most the big shots as he patiently broke down Minto. Parker floored Minto at the end of round five with a big right hand behind the ear. Parker dropped Minto again at the end of round seven. Minto’s corner stopped the fight after round seven. Parker exacted revenge from Minto for retiring Kiwi favorite Shane Cameron last year. The bout was for the interim PABA and WBO Oriental titles. After the fight, Minto stated that he entered the bout with a broken nose.
WBO #10, WBA #12 light heavyweight Robert “The Butcher” Berridge (24-1-1, 20 KOs) annihilated Rogerio Damasco (12-2-2, 12 KOs) in just 2:18 of the first round. Impressive performance by Berridge, who dropped Damasco twice in the bout, which was for the PABA and WBO Oriental belts.
2012 Olympian welterweight Jeff “The Hornet” Horn (8-0-1, 6 KOs) outclassed Fernando Ferreira da Silva (32-4-1, 24 KOs) over twelve rounds. Horn dominated every round and dropped de Silva in round twelve. Scores were 120-107 on all cards as Horn claimed the WBO Oriental welterweight title.
