Contender Mora Remains Undefeated

The boxers from The Contender television series took another step towards joining the boxing mainstream ... with mixed results. Contender champ Sergio Mora (18-0) was knocked down in the second round but got off the canvas to score a seventh-round TKO over Archak Termeliksetian. Referee Robert Byrd appeared to call a halt to the action a bit prematurely but Mora was clearly in control at the time of the stoppage. In the co-feature, fan favorite Alfonso Gomez (14-3-2) and Jesse Feliciano went toe-to-toe for eight rounds of non-stop action. Despite all the punches being landed, there were no knockdowns. In the end, the judges scored the bout a majority draw. Two other Contenders were on the undercard in six-round bouts. Miguel Espino scored a shut out over Gabriel Holguin and Jonathan Reid earned a unanimous decision over Ryan Davis.
