Unbeaten Los Angeles-based Ukrainian light heavyweight Vyacheslav Shabranskyy (17-0, 14 KOs) stopped Oscar Riojas (10-6, 3 KOs) of Laredo, Texas in three rounds Friday night at LA Fight Club at the Belasco Theater in downtown Los Angeles headlining the Boxeo Estelar on Estrella TV telecast. A lead right by Shabransky sent Riojas to the canvas in round three. Riojas got up but the Ukraininan finished him off as referee Raul Caiz Jr. waved off the bout at 1:43 of the third.

Unbeaten lightweight Ivan “Striker” Delgado (10-0-1, 3 KOs) scored a seventh round stoppage over Alejandro Ochoa (7-12-2, 1 KO). Delgado sent Ochoa to the canvas with a left hook in the opening round. With a mouse under his right eye, Delgado traded with Ochoa throughout the fight. Delgado connected solidly with an uppercut in round four as Ochoa clinched and Delgado followed up with a solid straight right. However, a triple left hook combination by Delgado in round seven did it as Ochoa went down and referee Lou Moret stopped the fight at 1:42.

Unbeaten super welterweight Alexis Rocha (4-0, 3 KOs) scored a first round stoppage over Israel Villela (4-3, 1 KO). A right, left one-two combination by Rocha dropped Villela.

Unbeaten lightweight Oscar Duarte (6-0-1, 3 KOs) made quick work of Omar Garcia (5-4, 1 KO) in a scheduled six round bout. Duarte landed a huge left hook as he backed Garcia, referee Raul Caiz stopped it after a flurry of punches at 58 seconds of the first round.
