MGM Grand, Las Vegas - Vyacheslav Shabranskyy (12-0, 10KOs) scored his most significant win to date, twice dropping Philadelphia's Garrett Wilson en route to a stoppage win after nine rounds. The unbeaten light heavyweight from Ukraine floored Wilson at the bell to end round two, and put him down face first in round eight.
Following a brutal beating in a round nine that saw Wilson not land a single punch, referee Jay Nady and the ring doctor advised the fighter that they would not allow him to come out for the 10th and final round.
Wilson (13-9-1, 7KOs) dropped down to light heavyweight from cruiserweight, but the move down the scale didn't help as he has now lost four straight.
Cesar Quinonez (1-0, 1KO) enjoyed a successful pro debut, scoring a 2nd round stoppage of Joan Valenzuela (1-3, 1KO). A flurry of punches had Valenzuela in deep trouble, prompting referee Russell Mora to stop the bout at 2:13 of round two. Quinonez is managed by former two-time super welterweight champion Fernando Vargas.
Eric Molina (23-2, 17KOs) stopped Raphael Zumbano (35-9-1, 28KOs) in the eight and final round of a heavyweight contest. Molina had him in trouble during the sixth and nearly stopped him. During the eight, Molina rocked him with a big hook and then let his hands go as he pinned Zumbano against the ropes to force the referee to step in and wave things off.
