Here are recaps and the main event results of televised fights from Friday night.
ESPN Friday Night Fights main event was a short one with Kendall Holt (28-5) getting an easy TKO win over Tim Coleman (19-3). Holt's hands looked fast and he went to work immediately by knocking down Coleman with a perfectly placed left to the liver in the opening round. Round two was more domination by Holt with three knock downs of Coleman which forced the corner to throw in the towel. Coleman was never in the fight and did not look motivated. Roy Jones Jr made his debut as cornerman for Holt.
On ShoBox, Omar Figueroa (15-0-1) looked like a beast in his beatdown of Ramon Ayala (23-3-1). Figueroa threw around Ayala and landed hard body shots that led to a TKO in round two. According to ShoStats, Figueroa landed 19 body punches compared to only 2 for Ayala in less than two rounds. In the co-feature, Randy Caballero (14-0) defeated Jose Luis Araiza (29-6-1) by decision in a bout that was controlled early by Caballero, but Araiza settled in by mid-fight and took some late rounds.
Bellator 61 featured the KO of the night with a flying knee by Brian Rogers that put Victor Vianna to sleep 4:14 into round one. The rest of the middleweight quarterfinal bouts went to decision. Trey Houston's arm bar submission win over Jeremiah Riggs was also televised.
