Lightweight Abraham "El Super" Nova (18-0, 14 KOs) had a winning Top Rank debut, knocking out Mexico's Pedro Navarrete (30-25-3, 19 KOs) in round four of a scheduled eight-round bout. Nova has now won four in a row via stoppage. "I knew I had to be patient in there because he's a tough, awkward fighter.

When my trainer told me to knock him out, I went out there and ended the fight."
