Younan Marches On After Blitzing Veteran Luna

Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing Rockin’ Fights 47 delivered an exciting night of boxing at the Paramount in Huntington, Long Island.

Undefeated Junior Younan (20-0-1, 12 KOs) was very impressive in scoring a sensational, highlight reel knockout over veteran Ricardo Adrian Luna. Younan turned on the style as he seeks to fight the top names in boxing after recently becoming a part of Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing stable. The knockout came at 2:53 in the first round.

Undefeated Ryan O’Rourke (11-0, 3 KOs) returned to the ring after an injury-filled layoff and had to work very hard to take the unanimous decision against determined Polish welterweight Michal Bulik. Scores were 59-55, 59-56 and 58-56.

Ronny Reyes and Yeuri Andujar engaged in an exciting six-round battle in the junior lightweight division. The fighters went toe to toe, each taking a turn having his way. In the end, Andujar scored the upset majority decision over the previously undefeated Reyes by scores of 57-57, 58-56, and a seemingly outrageous score of 60-54 by judge John Basile, for Andujar.

The opening fight of the night was a war between pro debuting John McDonagh and Tevin Terrance. The fight was worthy of a ‘club show four-round fight of the year’ award. The fittingly appropriate end result was a split draw, 39-37 for each fighter and 38-38 on the final scorecard in their super middleweight bout.
