David Benavidez vs. Anthony Yarde live results, round-by-round updates, ring walks for stacked card

Mielnicki landed a clean right hand on Nmomah in the final 20 seconds of the penultimate round.

Nmohmah was rocked again and ate a combination from Mielnicki. It was a right-hand-left hook power combo that floored Nmohmah late in the round. The referee decided to stop the bout and award Mielnicki a ninth-round TKO win, despite Nmomah beating the count.

A right hand had Nmohmah off balance in the final minute of Round 8. Mielnicki connected with another two-punch combination as Nmohmah had his hands down. Nmomah’s legs were unsteady and Mielnicki kept unloading. Good moments for Mielnicki in the closing few rounds.

Vito Mielnicki Jr. confirmed to trainer Ronnie Shields in the corner in-between Rounds 5 and 6 that he has hurt his right hand. Shields told Mielnicki Jr. to focus more on his left hand, and that has been his strategy in Round 6.

Nmomah looked to have landed a counter right-hand and floored Mielnicki in the opening minute of Round 5, but no knockdown counted. The fifth was the best frame of the fight for Nmomah. He backed Mielnicki up with a body shot around the halfway point, too. Mielnicki was noticeably less active and aggressive in this stanza, happy to just throw the jab.

10-9 Nmohmah, 49-46 Mielnicki

Mielnicki raised the tempo in Round 3. He started putting his combinations together and landed two good right hands in the second minute of the frame. Mielnicki’s jab is still serving him well, while we did see less from Nmohmah in that third round.

Nmohmah was ROCKED by a right hand in the final 10 seconds of the opening minute in Round 4. Mielnicki followed up to the head and body. Nmohmah was WOBBLED again by a right hand a few seconds later. The ropes held Nmohmah up. The referee was taking a very close look, but Nmohmah managed to weather the storm.

40-36 Mielnicki

It’s been a jab battle for the better part of two rounds.

Mielnicki had a better moment early in Round 2, landing a right hand and following up with a combination, although little got through.

Two tall middleweights, who typically benefit from their reach advantage, are having that negated tonight. They are both fighting similarly and end up landing the same punches at times.

Milelnick is, however, more aggressive in this fight. He is looking to push Nmomah back consistently with the jab and follow up with the right.

20-18 Mielnicki

We are just minutes away from our next fight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Middleweight contender Vito Mielnicki Jr. (21-1, 12 KOs) takes on Samuel Nmomah (21-0, 5 KOs) over ten rounds in the featured prelim contest.

Mielnicki Jr. is understood to be one of the first signings made by Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, which will officially launch on Paramount platforms in January 2026.

Mohammed Alakel moves to 7-0 with a unanimous decision win over Jiaming Li. The scorecards read 60-53, 60-53, 60-53.

Mohammed Alakel continues to show improvement.

The Saudi Arabian prospect is using a brilliant jab to control the contest. He is consistently backing Li up and landing power shots as Li is on the ropes. Li is still dangerous, though, with his counter left hook.

Alakel’s trainer, Abel Sanchez, however, is not impressed. He wants Alakel to increase the volume and go for a knockout, rather than take a comfortable decision.

Mason is the first of four world title fights tonight as the young American looks to become the youngest champion in boxing in his WBO lightweight title bout against Sam Noakes.

Following that is Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez, one of the pound-for-pound best fighters in boxing, looking to unify three titles against Fernando “Puma” Martinez.

Saudi prospect Mohammed Alakel (6-0, 1 KO) battles Jiaming Li (7-5, 4 KOs) in a six-round super featherweight bout.

Alakel outpointed Travis Crawford over 10 rounds on the Netflix-streamed Saul “Canelo” Alvarez vs. Terence “Bud” Crawford main card this past September.

All three judges are in agreement that Julio Porras and Pius Mpenda can’t be split after six rounds.

Porras and Mpenda fight to a rare unanimous draw, with the trio of scorers handing in 57-57 scorecards.

Mpenda was certainly coming on strong and won the last couple of rounds. He may have also taken the third frame.

Two big right hands connect for Mpenda in the opening minute of Round 5.

Mpenda landed clean with an overhand, and then when he unloaded on the inside, a looping right hand got through.

Mpenda continues to have success later in the penultimate stanza with combinations on the inside. It’s been his best round by far.

Julio Porras has a significant height and reach advantage over Pius Mpenda.

Porras managed to dominate the first couple of rounds behind his long jab, but in Round 3 and in the beginning stages of Round 4, Mpenda started to close the distance and wing in power punches.

Porras needs to do more to keep Mpenda off of him.

Mexican super middleweight prospect Julio Porras (13-0, 9 KOs) meets Tanzania’s Pius Mpenda (11-4-1, 5 KOs) in a fight scheduled for six rounds.

Sultan Almohammed made easy work of his second professional fight.

The Saudi Arabian prospect hurt Umesh Chavan with a left hook to the body just after the halfway point of the opening frame.

It brought Chavan’s hands down, creating openings for big shots upstairs, which Almohammed capitalized on.

A left hook upstairs knocked Chavan’s head back, and it was swiftly followed by a sustained attack from Almohammed. Chavan was backed up in a corner and was taking big punishment from Almohammed. Another body shot went in at the 2:05 mark. Chavan turned his back and held his hand in the air, signalling that he wanted no more, and the referee obliged.

Saudi prospect Sultan Almohammed (1-0) has a second professional fight against India’s Umesh Chavan (3-1-1) over four rounds at lightweight.
