Tonight at Frontwave Arena
in San Diego, former WBA junior-middleweight champion
Abass Baraou outworked hometown favorite Giovani
Santillan to win a majority 10-round decision and the

KOs), of Berlin, Germany, was too big, too strong and
applied too much pressure for the slicker but smaller
Santillan, now 35-2 (18 KOs), to find a path to victory.

Lester Martinez Sops
Plantic In 10 |

By Albert Castillo
Photos: William Trillo
From the Galen Center on the USC campus in Los Angeles
Probox put together a ten fight card that proved to be
an exciting night of boxing. In the main event of the
evening the Guatemalan crowd owned this fight.
Among the sea of their blue country’s flags the people
yelled and screamed for their hero Lester Martinez
(21-0-1, 17 KO’s) until the walls reverberated.
Martinez's opponent, Croatian bull Luka Plantic (13-1,
10 KO’s) came out aggressive, strong and pushed Martinez
back to the ropes for the first three rounds landing
shots to the body and arms.

By Igor Frank

Saturday night at the USC’s Galen Center belonged to
Guatemala.
Lester Martinez(21-0-1,17KO’S) didn’t simply defeat Luca
Plantic(13-1,10KO’S) with a 10th-round stoppage. He
announced himself as a legitimate force in the super
middleweight division—and he did it in front of a
passionate Guatemalan crowd that turned the Galen Center
into his home arena.
From the opening bell, Martinez’s supporters were on
their feet, waving flags, screaming his name and
repeatedly chanting “¡Sí, se puede!” — “Yes, we can!”

“The Fake Over”
Stop Paying for Boxing's Decline |
|
By William Trillo
Did you actually pay $79.99 for Teofimo Lopez-Rolly
Romero?
Really?
In 2026?
Congratulations. You just helped finance another
installment of,
Boxing: The Slow, Sad Decline of a Once-Great Sport.
And before somebody tells me I’m being too negative,
let’s be honest about what happened Saturday night. The
fight was exactly what far too many people expected it
to be: a $79.99 pay-per-view built around two fighters
who spent large portions of the night looking like they
had somewhere else to be.
