BiYu Promotions Fighters Shine On
"Dominican Fight Night" In Santo Domingo
“Dominican Fight Night,” co-promoted by BiYu Promotions and
Shuan Boxing, delivered a full night of action this past
Friday, September 11, from Coliseo Carlos Teo Cruz in Santo
Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Broadcast worldwide on CombatVisionTV, the event provided an
international stage for several of the Dominican Republic’s
rising fighters, along with promising young talent from the
United States. Fighters competing under the BiYu Promotions
banner turned in several strong performances, led by
undefeated super welterweight Rafael Abreu, unbeaten super
featherweight Eliesel Ledesma, undefeated prospects Pryce
Sparrow, Ty Cassell and Angel Rodriguez, along with
cruiserweight Starlyn Guzman.
“I was very pleased with what I saw from our fighters,” said
Bobby Harrison, President of BiYu Promotions. “Rafael,
Eliesel, Pryce, Ty and Angel all came away with victories,
and each one showed something different. Starlyn came up
short in a very close fight, but sometimes those are the
fights that help a young fighter grow. We believe in all of
these guys, and nights like this give them the experience
they need as we continue moving them forward.”
Abreu continued his impressive run with another explosive
knockout, stopping Juan Delgado de Leon in the second round
of their scheduled eight-round super welterweight bout.
Abreu ended the fight at 2:59 of the round, improving his
undefeated record to 13-0 with 12 knockouts.
Ledesma remained unbeaten with a hard-fought unanimous
decision over Jorge Santana in their eight-round super
featherweight contest. All three judges scored the bout
77-75 for Rodriguez Ledesma, who improved to 10-0-2 with 8
KOs.
Sparrow took another step forward in his young career with a
dominant eight-round unanimous decision over veteran Oliver
Flores, who entered the bout with more than 40 professional
fights. Sparrow controlled the action on his way to scores
of 80-71, 80-71 and 79-72, improving to 7-0 with 4 KOs.
Houston’s Cassell made quick work of previously unbeaten
Cristofer Peralta, stopping him at 1:19 of the second round
of their scheduled six-round super lightweight bout. The
19-year-old Cassell improved to 6-0 with 4 KOs with the
victory.
Rodriguez also kept his undefeated record intact, earning a
convincing six-round unanimous decision over Nayer Gonzalez
Jimenez in their featherweight matchup. Rodriguez won by
scores of 59-54, 59-54 and 60-53, improving to 6-0 with 3
KOs.
Cruiserweight Guzman suffered the first defeat of his
professional career, dropping a competitive six-round
unanimous decision to Jankelly Rodriguez Paulino. All three
judges scored the fight 58-56. Guzman, who had knocked out
each of his previous five opponents, is now 5-1 with 5 KOs.
“We’re building something special at BiYu Promotions, and
the goal is to develop these fighters the right way,”
Harrison continued. “We want to keep them active, give them
competitive fights and put them in situations where they
have to keep improving. There’s a lot of talent on this
roster, both in the Dominican Republic and the United
States, and I’m excited about where we’re headed.”
