Gary Russell Jr. TKO10 Hugo Castañeda ... Prior to the pay-per-view, a three-fight PBC on Prime Video lineup streamed live and for free topped by the return of former longtime WBC featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr. (32-2, 19 KOs) as he stopped Hugo Castañeda (15-3-1, 11 KOs) with a body shot 26 seconds into the tenth and final round of their lightweight affair. The body shot was the fourth knockdown scored by Russell, who looked sharp from the outset as he sent his opponent down twice in the second round, before scoring another knockdown in round six. Ruseel had not fought since January 2022 and had not won a fight since 2020.
Mark Magsayo W10 Jorge Mata... Kicking off the stream, Filipino power puncher Mark “Magnifico” Magsayo (28-2, 18 KOs) took home a unanimous decision over Mexico’s Jorge Mata (21-3-2, 13 KOs) after ten rounds in the featherweight division. The former champion’s offense first broke through in round four as he bloodied Mata’s face with a series of power shots. Two judges scored the fight a 100-90 shutout for Magsayo, with the third judging turning in a 98-92 card in Magsayo’s favor.
David Picasso W10 Kyonosuke Kameda...The streaming presentation also saw undefeated super bantamweight contender David “Rey” Picasso (32-0-1, 17 KOs) keep his unbeaten record intact with a hard-fought unanimous decision over Kyonosuke Kameda (15-5-2, 9 KOs) in their ten-round clash. Picasso adjusted to the aggressive Kameda to take control of the second half of the fight, earning scores of 98-92 and 97-93, which overturned one score of 95-95.
