Co-Feature
WBA Continental Americas Featherweight Title Bout -
8 Rounds
Philly southpaw Butler maintained a composed
approach while Dionicius, Villaguay, Argentina, alternated between

behind a tight defense and effective counters. Dionicius struggled
to break through, and Butler scored consistently on the way to a
unanimous decision win and her first title belt. Judges DEwey
LaRosa and Steve Weisfeld scored the fight 79-73, while Marcel

Heavyweight
Bout - 6 Rounds
In a return match after their six-round draw
in January, Madison scored a knockdown in round two with a left
hand. The fighters exchanged frequently in round three as Ellis’
corner pushed for urgency. Ellis, of Philadelphia, came
forward hard in round four and swung momentum his way, drawing
strong reactions from the crowd. After a close contest, Ellis won by
majority decision and received the honorary King’s Promotions
Heavyweight Belt. A third meeting would be justified based on the
competitiveness of the first two fights. Judge Marcel Varela
scored the fight for Madison (57-55), but was over-ruled by Steve
Weisfeld (57-55) and Dewey LaRosa (58-54) who both favored Ellis.

fighters started cautiously. By round three, the exchanges
increased, and Patricio, Waianae, HI, landed the more effective

used more movement to avoid Patricio’s power and attempted to slow
the pace, but it was not enough to win the bout. However, this
was the most challenging fight Patricio has had recently. She fought
a disciplined bout, made the needed adjustments, and earned a
unanimous decision against a capable opponent. Two of the hree
judges scored the fight an 80-72 shutout (Steve Weisfeld and Dewey
LaRosa). Judge Paul Wallace had it 79-73, giving Trejo one round.

Feliz won by unanimous decision: Steve Weisfeld and Stephen
Mullkoff both had the fight 57-55, while Marcel Varela saw it a
60-53 landslide. With the win, Feliz improved to 7-0, 5 KOs. Caudle,

(38-38), making the result a majority draw. Upon hearing the
decision, Sosa threw his hat in frustration. Sosa returned to
