Hollywood Fight Nights Results
Thursday night in Los Angeles, fast rising star ‘King’
Callum Walsh, (3-0, 3 KOs), continued the torrid start to
his professional career with a first-round knockout of Luis
Garcia, (3-1, 1 KO) in the scheduled six round super
welterweight main event at the Quiet Cannon – Montebello
Country Club. The world class boxing card was promoted by
Tom Loeffler’s 360 Promotions and broadcast live
internationally on UFC Fight Pass.
The 21-year-old Walsh, a native of Cork, Ireland, dropped
Garcia twice in the opening stanza from a barrage of
powerful right hands before the fight was stopped at the
1:48 mark. The stoppage took place in front of a packed
house of boxing fans which included UFC’s Dana White and
Mario Lopez cheering on Walsh from ringside. Now residing in
Los Angeles, Walsh is guided by Hall of Fame Trainer Freddie
Roach at the Wild Card Boxing Gym.
Heralded super lightweight Tito Mercado, (6-0, 6 KOs),
stayed perfect in his short career as the 20-year-old
Pomona, CA resident stopped Jose Zaragoza, (8-5-1, 2 KOs) in
the second round (1:07).
In a featherweight clash, Omar Trinidad, (8-0-1 6 KOs),
stopped Andrew Strode, (6-2, 1 KO) at 1:10 of the third
round.

In an outstanding six-round women’s junior lightweight
clash, Chelsey Anderson, (5-0-1) stopped Jessica Juarez,
(3-2, 1 KO) in the final stanza. Juarez started very strong
but Anderson was able to turn the tide and land big punches
as the fight went on. In the final round the ring doctor
stopped the fight due to a cut on Juarez’s badly swollen
eye.
Manny Pacquiao Jr. won his second amateur bout, aggressively
battering Johnathan Barajas to earn the three-round
decision.

KO), won a four round unanimous decision over debuting
