The Medford Armory |
 White Delight Promotions
Medford, Oregon |
Mike and Jenifer Wilson of White Delight Promotions and matchmaker Keith Weir staged an action packed seven bout card in front of a sold out house at he Medford Armory.
The main event of the sixteenth edition of the Rogue Valley Rumble featured super middleweights Anthony Alvarado and Cameron Sevilla-Rivera. This would be a test for Sevilla-Rivera who was reentering the ring after a nearly three year layoff. Alvarado entered the ring for the third time this year in the seven round main event.
Alvarado answered the opening bell and stepped right to Sevilla-Rivera throwing body shots. Sevilla-Rivera chose to fight from a distance, countering Alvarado’s reach. As the round approached the midpoint, Alvarado began to close the distance between the two and throw combinations, often landing to Sevilla-Rivera’s body. In the final thirty seconds of the round Sevilla-Rivera backed Alvarado onto the ropes and landed a few punches on Alvarado’s head. The second round was close as both men were able to land scoring punches. Alvarado continued to place a target on Sevila-Rivera’s body, most often shooting to his ribs with hard rights. Sevilla-Rivera was able to answer when the two men stood close, but he landed fewer punches.
Sevilla-Rivera slowed Alvarado’s assault in the third by moving around the ring, staying just out of range of Alvarado’s reach. At the midpoint of the round and again near the end, Alvarado was able to back Sevilla-Rivera on to the ropes and while there Alvarado landed combinations, often landing to Sevilla-Rivera’s body. Alvarado was the busier fighter in the fourth round, and at the urging of his corner, he continued to fire punches to Sevilla-Rivera’s body, trying to break him down. The round closed with both men throwing wild punches at the other’s head.
The fifth round got off to a slow start, partially due to the energy the two expended to end the fifth. Early, Sevilla-Rivera worked to keep Alvarado’s back on the ropes. With Alvarado on the ropes, Sevilla-Rivera leaned in and threw hard body shots. Alvarado was eventually able to turn off the ropes and steep away from Sevilla-Rivera until the final minute when Alvarado again launched a heavy body attack. The pace of the fight slowed even more in the sixth round. And though both men looked to land heavy, neither threw as many punches as they had early in the fight. Alvarado gained the edge in that he landed more of his punches.
Sevilla-Rivera moved around the ring for most of the seventh round so as not to get hit with anything heavy. That allowed Alvarado to control the flow of the round as he pursued Sevilla-Rivera, landing body shots when he was able to get close.
After seven rounds one judge scored the fight 69-64, the other two scored it 70-63, all in favor of Anthony Alvarado, who behind the unanimous decision would run his win streak to five in a row.

Stanton catches Cazac with a right to the head |
Al Stanton (nee Alarenz Reynolds) and Alex Cazac faced each other in the six round co-main event fought at the light heavyweight level. Stanton came into the fight on a three knockout win streak. Cazac had won his last six in a row.
Both men were solid fighters in the opening round. They threw jabs to establish position and followed those with body shots. As the round progressed the two began to lean on each other and that meant shorter punches, and not as many effective scoring shots. Cazac had a good second round as he controlled much of the action using his reach advantage to keep Stanton moving. Just after the midpoint, Stanton pinned Cazac on the ropes and landed to Cazac’s body. Cazac was able to spin out as the round ended.
Cazac used his jab effectively in the third round. That kept Stanton at a distance, but when Stanton stepped in close, he was able to land body shots and the occasional right to Cazac’s head. Stanton shifted the momentum of the fight in his favor early in the fourth round as he began to close the distance and fire heavy combinations, often landing to Cazac’s head and body. The round ended with both men throwing head and body combinations.
Stanton controlled much of the action of the fifth round by pressuring Cazac to keep him moving. Stanton would often jump in tight, throw and land combinations, then step back before Cazac could answer. As the round drew to a close, Cazac was able to land a few combinations, but not enough to slow Stanton. The final round was close as both fighters were able to land scoring shots to the other’s head. Some blood flowed from Cazac’s nose, but it did little to slow him.
After six rounds, one judge scored the bout 59-55 for Cazac, another scored it 59-55 for Stanton, and the third scored it 58-56 for Stanton who would claim the split decision win.

Welterweights Saint Pierre Mukinzi and Christian Torrico fought in a four round undercard bout. Mukinzi was looking to remain unbeaten, while Torrico was looking to get back on the win track after dropping a unanimous decision a year ago.
Mukinzi kept Torrico on the move in the first round as he chased and pursued him around the ring, throwing punches with both hands. Because Torrico spent so much time moving away from Mukinzi’s reach, he was unable to land, yet alone throw many punches. The action slowed some in the second round, partly due to the time the two men spent running around the ring in the first. Mukinzi was able to back Torrico on to the ropes mid-way through and while there Mukinzi landed a lot of body shots. While in close, Mukinzi landed a fight to Torrico’s head that opened a cut over Torrico’s left eye.
Torrico had a good third round as he moved to avoid Mukinzi’s reach, and then score with shots to Mukinzi’s body when he quickly closed the distance between them. Mukinzi spent much of the latter half of the round throwing wide and wild, looking to land a punch that could end the fight. The final round was close as Torrico was able to keep Mukinzi on the move and again land body shots when closing the distance between them. Mukinzi was able to slip away from a number of Torrico’s power shots as the round ended.
After four rounds one judge scored the bout even at 38, the other two scored it 40-36 in favor of Saint Pierre Mukinzi who would claim the majority decision win. |

Carlson connects with a right |
Dylan Carlson last won a fight in March of 2024, and he had suffered knockout losses in his previous two bouts. Bryce Bradbeer brought kick boxing experience to the ring after dropping a unanimous decision in his debut as a professional boxer. The two faced each other in a four round middleweight fight.
Carlson controlled the action of the opening round as he threw more punches and many of them landed to Bradbeer’s body. Bradbeer threw his jab to try to get close and slow Carlson, but he was not able to land often enough to slow Carlson’s attack. The difference in the second round came down to the fact that Carlson was throwing two and three punches at a time while Bradbeer was answering with only one. Near the end of the round, Bradbeer stepped in tight and landed a few scoring punches to Carlson’s body.
Both men landed heavy shots in the third round. Carlson had the advantage early after pinning Bradbeer on the ropes and landing his right to Bradbeer’s head. As the round passed the midpoint, Bradbeer was able to turn Carlson and land a heavy right to Carlson’s chin that staggered Carlson as the bell rang to end the round. The fourth round saw Carlson spend much of it walking Bradbeer down and throwing left-right combinations that targeted Bradbeer’s body and head. Much like in the opening round, Bradbeer was able to answer with only single punches.
After four rounds, one judge scored the bout even at 38, the second scored it 39-37, while the third scored it 40-36 for Carlson who would take the majority decision win.

Josceline Sanchez, fighting out of Salem, Oregon and Maria Hernandez Rodriguez, of Salt Lake City, Utah made their professional debut in a four round welterweight fight in Medford, Oregon on Saturday. Both women brought experience as amateurs in to the contest.
Both women threw a lot of punches in the opening round as each looked to land scoring shots and slow the other. Sanchez scored when she shot her jab and connected to Rodriguez’s head. Rodriguez’s assault came at the end of a hard right hand that often was able to land to Sanchez’s body. Sanchez was able to pressure Rodriguez through the round and keeping Rodriguez moving slowed the number of punches as the round closed.
The second round was close, though fewer punches were thrown, Rodriguez gained control early as she focused on landing her right hand. Rodriguez also shifted the momentum a bit by pressuring Sanchez early, forcing Sanchez to step away from Rodriguez’s body shots. Sanchez landed a few combinations in the closing moments of the round that began to shift the momentum in her favor.
Rodriguez out punched Sanchez in the third round as she often lowered her head and bulled forward trying to keep her jab in Sanchez’s face and her right landing to Sanchez’s body, While Sanchez threw fewer punches, she landed heavier and her combinations, most often landing to Rodriguez’s body, scored.
Both women showed solid boxing skill in the fourth round, landing scoring punches. Sanchez’s jab continued to land on Rodriguez’s chin and Sanchez often followed that with a right to the body, Rodriguez worked to close the distance between the two, forcing Sanchez into throwing shorter punches. Rodriguez also kept her left hand pumping towards Sanchez’s head, making Sanchez adjust to step back, and that created the distance Sanchez needed to land her combinations.
After four rounds all three judges scored the bout 40-36 in favor of Josceline Sanchez who would claim the unanimous decision.

Huerta's jab lands to Vazquez's head |
Maurico Huerta and Kevin Vazquesz each entered the four round super featherweight fight looking for their first win as a professional. This would be Vazquez’s first fight in the United States, having previously fought in Mexico, while Huerta was returning to Medford for the third time.
The opening round was close as Huerta was the busier fighter, throwing more punches, while Vazquez, though throwing fewer, landed heavier. Huerta worked to keep pressure on Vazquez throughout the round. Shifts in momentum favored both fighters in the second. Huerta had the advantage early as he was able to land scoring shots to Vazquez’s body. Vazquez caused a shift when he landed a few body shots and followed one of those with a right hand that landed hard to Huerta’s chin.
Huerta’s pressure in the third round caused Vazquez to slow some. Huerta focused his attack on Vazquez’s body, and that also led to fewer opportunities for Vazquez to counter punch. As the round drew to a close Vazquez was able to close the distance and land again with hard shots to Huerta’s head. Both men threw a lot of punches early n the final round. Then Vazquez lost his mouthpiece and the fight stopped so it could be reinserted. As the fight resumed, Huerta jumped quickly to Vazquez, who was still transitioning to the action, and landed a hard overhand right to Vazquez’s head that dropped him to the canvas. Though Vazquez stood and listened to the referee count, he was unsteady on his feet, causing the referee to wave the fight to an end.
Huerta would claim his first win as a professional, a TKO at 1:14 of the fourth round.
