    On December 14th, KO Boxing closed off the year in tremendous fashion in an event that was co-hosted by Eye Of The Tiger Management.

    The main event was a back and forth slugfest between NABA and NABO super middleweight championĀ Erik Bazinyan andĀ Adrian Luna Flores. Bazinyan was able to land hard, clean shots on Flores throughout the fight. Flores would get floored on several occasions but his heart and determination would bring him back to his feet with each knockdown. At one point Bazinyan punched himself out and Flores began to rally but the bell would sound before he could do any major damage.Ā  In the fifth round both fighters were trading at will but the action would come to a stop as the referee had decided that Flores had taken enough punishment which resulted in aĀ  Bazinyan stoppage victory.
    The co-main event featured the very promising up and coming prospectĀ Artur Ziyatdinov taking onĀ Ricardo Marcelo Ramallo.Ā  From the opening bell, Romallo was clearly overpowered and overmatched as Ziyatdinov battered him. Romallo was able to withstand the punishment for two rounds but the bout was called off at one minute and twenty-two seconds of round three.
    Sadriddin Akhmedov may not have even broken a sweat as he was able to get his opponentĀ Eliud Melendez Rocha out within less than two minutes.
    Stan Surmacz Ahumada took onĀ Guillermo Casas in his return bout after a year away from the ring due to health issues. It did not take long for the Edmonton fighter to get in a groove and out Casas on the defense and before the second round had a chance to come to a close Casas was face first on the canvas and the bout was over.
    Raffaele Santoro andĀ Mario Bedolla Orozco put on quite a show with what may have been the fight of the night. Both fighters went at each other throughout the entire fight with neither side willing to give up. Santoro would go on to win a unanimous decision.
    Hamza Khabbaz was tested in his debut but he was able to walk away with a unanimous decision victory overĀ Jesus Emmanuel Villa.
    Oleksandr Voytenko had a much quicker debut as he was able to blast outĀ Marco Antonio Cruz Gonzalez within two rounds.
    The opening bout of the night was a quick one.Ā Nick Dragich put Ken Frank down a couple times and finished him off with a shot that seemed to break Frank’s nose.
