Najee Lopez and Kalvin Henderson shared the ring in a ProBox TV main event in Kissimmee, Florida, with Lopez looking to stay perfect and Henderson trying to spring an upset.
Najee Lopez kept his unbeaten run, stopping Kalvin Henderson at 0:55 of round five. Lopez set the tone with a fast, stiff jab, circling and picking spots while Henderson struggled to get started. By the end of three rounds, Lopez had outlanded Henderson 81–9, including a second round in which Henderson didn’t register a single scoring blow. In the fifth, Lopez leaned back to draw a jab, countered with a clean right hand over the top, feinted to the body, and fired another right that sent Henderson reeling to the ropes. Referee Massimo Montanini stepped in as Lopez poured on punches.
“I took my time and stuck to the plan. As soon as I saw him hurt, I knew,” Lopez said afterward.
In the walkout bout, Juanma Lopez de Jesus defeated Luis Morales by unanimous decision over six rounds, with scores of 60–52, 60–52, and 59–53. Lopez de Jesus stayed calm against an awkward, evasive opponent, overcoming a clash of heads that caused bleeding and scoring knockdowns with a check hook in the third and a left hand in the fifth. He moves to 4–0 (2 KOs).
