In a thrilling main event broadcast on ProBox TV, Puerto Rico’s Orlando “Capu” Gonzalez (21-2, 12 KOs) squared off against the Mexican featherweight contender Ramiro Cesena (16-2-1, 13 KOs) at the Boricua-friendly Kissimmee (Florida) Civic Center.
Cesena began the fight by attempting to dominate Gonzalez with his heavy right hand and left hook. However, Gonzalez, showing great resilience, managed to alter the momentum in the third round with a right hook and straight left hand shot. The mid-rounds featured exciting two-way action, with Gonzalez’s effective counter attacks meeting Cesena’s powerful left hooks.
Despite the high-volume pressure and flurries from Cesena in the later rounds, Gonzalez withstood the onslaught, demonstrating amazing recuperative abilities. The final round saw a relentless Cesena swinging for a knockout finish, but it was Gonzalez's consistent performance that earned him his third consecutive victory. The defeat dropped Cesena’s record to 16-2-1, marking his second loss in less than four months.
In the undercard bouts of the evening, Mohamed Mimoune (23-5, 4 KOs) made a stunning comeback by ending his two-fight losing streak with a one-sided, sixth-round knockout of the previously unbeaten Steven Galeano (12-1, 9 KOs) in their junior welterweight contest. Meanwhile, 2020 Haitian Olympian Darrelle Valsaint (9-0, 7 KOs) preserved his flawless record with a fourth-round knockout against Daniel Aduku in their middleweight affair, marking Valsaint’s sixth appearance on the ProBox series since its inception in March 2023.
