Making his nationally televised ShoBox: The New Generation debut in the co-main event of a Warriors Boxing event entitled "Shootout at Texas Station", from the Texas Station Gambling Hall & Hotel in Las Vegas, undefeated super middleweight Badou Jack "The Ripper" (11-0, 8 KOs) survived a close fight against awkwardly confusing opponent Alexander Brand (17-1, 15 KOs). Jack had to call on all his experience to overcome the herky-jerky style of Brand and win via split decision (77-75, 77-75, 75-77). To his credit, the Swedish import was able to keep his cool and deliver well-placed power shots and control just enough of the rounds, while Colombia's Brand ran around the ring and then jumped in with unconventional punches from strange angles.

The 10-round junior middleweight SHOWTIME® main event was scored 97-92 twice and 95-94. In the evening’s co-feature from Texas Station Gambling Hall & Hotel in Las Vegas, Nev., Badou Jack defeated Alexander Brand via split decision by the scores of 77-75 two times for Jack and 77-75 for Brand in the eight-round super middleweight bout. When ShoBox fans last saw Nelson, he entered his bout against Vincent Arroyo as the favorite with a sparkly undefeated record. The gritty Arroyo turned in a career-best performance and knocked down Nelson three times en route to a majority decision victory. Tonight’s scenario was much different for Nelson (18-1-1, 11 KOs), of Youngstown, Ohio, as he entered the ring as an underdog against ...

A few weeks ago, Thomas Oosthuizen and Luis Del Valle came out on top over Marcus Johnson and Christopher Martin respectively, and entertained thoroughly in the process. It was a break from the road ShoBox had been going down, which had been more along the lines of stuff worthy of non-televised cards in Idaho high school gyms. Friday night junior middleweight Willie Nelson peeled his lanky self up off the canvas to seize a meaningful decision win from former undefeated Cuban prospect Yudel Jhonson, and super middleweight up-and-comer Badou Jack barely outdid Colombian poor man's Sergio Martinez impersonator Alexander Brand to win a split verdict. ******* Cuban defector Jhonson, now 12-1 (8 KO), strolled into the main event bout against underdog Willie Nelson with perhaps a bit of a chip on his shoulder, despite the ...

Fighting on the undercard of the sold-out Broadway Boxing event at BB Kings Blues Club & Grill in Midtown Manhattan, the 28-year-old prospect showed off his fearsome body attack and a strong array of punches during a rare opportunity to go the distance. To his credit, Young hung tough, absorbing the fearsome blows of Jack, the former Olympian and six-time Swedish National Champion. "The six opponents to beat Grover Young have only one loss combined. We knew he was going to push Badou a little harder than his previous opponents and we're very happy with the results.

Fresh off his impressive showing on the last Broadway Boxing card in January, Perez was very impressive as he was able to pass a major test winning a well-deserved unanimous decision over Figueroa.
