Alekozai won via TKO2, quick left hook on the liver.

 

Joshuah Lupia vs. Raymond Peter Moylette, 8 rounds @ 10 rounds @ super lightweight

 

"Sugar Ray" Moylette was a longtime fixture of Irish amateur boxing, with some big expectations when he turned over. He debuted in March of 2017 and by December of the following year had run up an 11-0 record, when he was upset by Mexican spoiler Christian Uruzquieta. In the seven years since he is 3-1-1, keeping a very sporadic fight schedule.

Lupia debuted in 2017 as well, and had the gap of three years due to injury (explained on the 1st page of the RBR) ...currently 16-0 with fourteen stoppages.

 

Lupia dealt my boy Lanardo "Pain Server" Tyner his final career loss in 2022, via shutout UD8.

 

30-27 Lupia, badly hurt Moylette several times throughout the third round with body shots.

Moylette has only been stopped once (losing to Dalton Smith via TKO10 in 2022)

 

Sara Bailey just stumbled trying to say "credit to Ray for showing so much heart, so much religion, er, resilly, um...yeah, heart"

 

4th was a good rebound round for Moylette. He didn't win it, but he avoided a lot of Lupia's body shots and answered his offense with some jabs of his own to establish that he's still in this and not laying down.

 

Alright, it's the main event and there are 54 live viewers, and there have been all of two comments in the YT chat across the whole four hours it's been streaming.

Compare with the Puerto Rican card on the Miguel Cotto Promotions channel:

8k watching, and several hundreds comments in the YT chat.

Niagara Falls is no more the new mecca of boxing than ...uh, Bengazhi.

 

Moylette was hurt with more body shots in the 6th and caught with many a right hand on his busted-up face. Yet he survives. Even tagged Lupia down the stretch.

60-54 Lupia

 

Sugar Ray decides to not answer the bell for the seventh.

RTD6!!

 

Can't argue with the result when you make another man quit on his stool - but I'm not super confident in Lupia's finishing abilities coming out of this. He had Moylette hurt badly enough to push for the stoppage four rounds earlier than it came.
