ANDRADE WINS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

Demetrius Andrade TKO2 Alex Hloros... In Manchester, New Hampshire, junior middleweight Demetrius "Boo Boo" Andrade (18-0, 13 KOs) displayed his entire arsenal and stopped Alexis  Hloros (16-5-2, 12 KOs) in the second round on show featuring pros and amateurs. The 24-year-old Andrade, a 2008 U.S. Olympian, dropped Hloros early in the second round with a straight left and then finished the show with a right hook. Fernandez beat the count but the referee halted the action as the second round ended.

"I wouldn't say I was rusty, just cautious in the first round, feeling him out to see what he had," Andrade said after the fight. "I established my jab. I came out in the second round knowing he had trouble with my jab and left. I put some power and speed behind my punches. I showcased it (his entire arsenal); it looked good and sealed the deal."

[Andrade might finally feel ready to step up his level of opposition. He said afterwards:] "I want (Sergei) Dzinziruk (former WBO champion, 37-1, 27 KOs). His only loss was to the best, Sergio Martinez, and he just had a draw (Jonathan Gonzalez). His name would look good on my resume."


UNDERCARD: Vermont welterweight Chris Gilbert improved to 5-0 with a fourth-round win over Antonio Chaves Fernandez (1-8-1). Gilbert dropped Fernandez midway through the opening round, trapped him on the ropes in the fourth and ended the fight by way of technical knockout with a powerful right uppercut... [Toka Khan-Clary was advertised to fight on the show but promoters offered no explanation as to why his fight never came off].
