Cusumano's 8th Round Stoppage Over Kownacki Was The Best … – Boxing News 24
The bout was part of the Matchroom Boxing card that was headlined by the clash between Edgar Berlanga and Jason Quigley. The co-main featured two heavyweights in which one was trying to build on his winning streak, and the other was attempting to break his losing streak.
Coming into the bout, Juiseppe Cusumano was riding a two-fight win streak. He was attempting to extend his streak, as he was hopeful that a victory on June 24th could lead to a more lucrative opportunity.
His opponent Adam Kownacki’s boxing career resembles a roller coaster ride. In his previous six fights, Kownacki beat Charles Martin, Gerald Washington, and Chris Arreola, but then he was defeated twice by Robert Helenius and lost to Ali Eren Demirezen by unanimous decision.
During the opening round of the June 24th co-feature, Cusumano landed the right hand on multiple occasions. In the final seconds of the first round, Cusumano tripled up on the jab and proceeded to land a right hand that sent Kownacki down to the canvas.
Kownacki made it up to his feet, and when the action resumed, Cusumano hit Kownacki with a flurry of shots. As the bell rang to officially end the opening round, Kownacki stumbled back to his corner.
At the start of the second round, the doctor examined Kownacki, and then he decided to allow the match to continue. Cusumano started the round by landing multiple right hand shots, but Kownacki was able to come back in the final minute of the round as he attacked his opponent’s body.
Kownacki came out in the third round once again targeting the body with the jab and the right hand. As Kownacki seemed to be in control of the round, Cusumano landed a couple of big right hands, and then the two heavyweights proceeded to trade heavy shots as the round came to a close.
The fourth round consisted of back-and-forth action as both men landed big shots. In the 5th round, Kownacki landed a solid body shot, and Cusumano responded by landing a couple of hard right hands. At the start of round 6, the ringside physician took a look at Cusumano prior to allowing the action to continue.
During the sixth round, Cusumano was able to land a couple of solid uppercuts. At the 1:57 mark of the 7th round, Cusumano landed a barrage of heavy punches, but Kownacki was able to rally back and land some significant power shots of his own.
The bout continued in the 8th round as Kownacki was using the jab and going down to the body of his opponent. With 1:11 remaining in the 8th round, Cusumano hit Kownacki with a devastating overhand right. He proceeded to hit Kownacki with a flurry of shots that forced Kownacki’s corner to throw in the towel and officially put a halt to the contest.
With the win, Juiseppe Cusumano improved his record to (22-4, 20 KOs). Cusumano has now won three fights in a row, and he’s looking forward to continuing his career, while Adam Kownacki may call it a career after suffering his fourth loss in a row.
Juiseppe Cusumano and Adam Kownacki may not be the well-known names of the fight game, but these two warriors came together and produced an action-packed battle on June 24th that will definitely go down as the fight of the night.

Chargers News: Fight Erupts Between Bolts and Ravens After Late Hit on Justin Herbert – Sports Illustrated
Erin Blanchfield patiently awaits her next UFC assignment.
Although it’s not totally clear what that will be, Blanchfield (12-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) assumes an important matchup with Manon Fiorot (11-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) is likely. The two flyweight combatants have established themselves as top contenders in a division that awaits a championship rematch between champion Alexa Grasso and former champion Valentina Shevchenko while they both recover from injury.
“Yeah, it’s definitely stalling,” Blanchfield recently said during an online live stream for digital wallet platform HUMBL. “I feel like I’ve had a couple No. 1 contender fights now. But you know, I’m still pretty young and gained valuable experience in those fights. … Whether it’s an interim or not, I’ll beat (Fiorot), and then I should definitely get a title next.”
Although UFC CEO Dana White has indicated it’s next, no timeline has been revealed for Grasso (16-3-1 MMA, 8-3-1 UFC) vs. Shevchenko (23-4-1 MMA, 12-3-1 UFC). Shevchenko had hand surgery in mid-September. Coincidentally, Grasso underwent hand surgery in early October.
Should there be further delays, Blanchfield wouldn’t mind seeing an interim title implemented. She’s healthy and ready to go, following a slight nasal fracture suffered in a unanimous decision win over Taila Santos in August.
“I haven’t been told about that yet,” Blanchfield said. I would definitely push for that. That’s something I’d definitely be interested in. I’m not sure when Valentina and Alexa are going to be ready to fight again. I know I think they’re on a similar timeline in their recovery. I would hope that if it ends up being longer, they’d have me and Manon fight for an interim.”

SACRAMENTO COUNTY – Two men died after they were shot outside of a bar in Sacramento County early Sunday morning, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said.
Deputies responded to Sacto By Night at 7121 Governors Circle at about 1:45 a.m.
A group of people who were leaving the bar got into a fight outside, leading to a shooting, deputies said.
The victims, who were two men, died at the scene, deputies said. One of them was the owner of the bar.
Investigators with the sheriff’s office believe a group of gang members who initially refused to leave the nightclub at closing is at the center of the incident. Those gang members apparently got involved in a fight in the parking lot, investigators said, with the suspected shooter being one of those gang members.
Witnesses described a white vehicle that took off from the scene. Deputies said the CHP located a vehicle matching the description and detained four people from that vehicle.
The people detained have since been identified as being allegedly involved in the shooting. Several guns have been recovered.
According to the sheriff’s office, the names of the suspects will be released once homicide and related charges are filed.
