Undefeated local favorite Mark "The Bazooka" De Luca stopped Ramses Agaton at the 2:17 mark of the seventh round of a scheduled eight-round junior middleweight bout on Saturday night.
The fight headlined a Golden Boy on ESPN card at the Marina Bay SportsPlex in Quincy, Massachusetts.
Agaton (20-8-3, 10 KOs), a 28-year-old from Mexico City, was a late substitute who took the fight on six days' notice. He normally boxes as a welterweight and looked considerably smaller than the muscular DeLuca.
An accidental clash of heads opened a nasty cut over Agaton's left eye in the third round, causing it to bleed for the remainder of the bout. The ringside doctors examined Agaton's cut several times between rounds but allowed the bout to continue.
Agaton was victimized by a bizarre ruling in the fourth round. DeLuca hit Agaton (20-8-3, 10 KOs) below the belt, but referee Leo Gerstel penalized Agaton two points. No explanation was given for the error.
DeLuca, from Whitman, Massachusetts, punished the courageous but outgunned Agaton in every round and finished him in the seventh with a right-left combination to the body. The Mexican crumpled to the floor, and though he beat the count, the referee ruled he was unfit to continue.
In the co-feature, Jason "El Animal" Quigley of Donegal, Ireland, stopped Daniel "El Duro" Rosario of San Juan, Puerto Rico, at 2:51 of the sixth round of a scheduled eight-round middleweight bout.
Quigley (14-0, 11 KOs), 26, was making his first start in more than a year. A broken right hand and a torn ligament that required surgery had sidelined him.
Quigley knocked down Rosario (11-4, 10 KOs) twice with left hooks to the body in the sixth. Referee Mike Ryan stopped the one-sided fight with Rosario, 30, writhing in pain on the canvas.
In the TV opener, Yamaguchi Falcao of San Paulo, Brazil, won a unanimous decision over Richar Gutierrez of Arjona, Colombia, in an eight-round middleweight bout.
Falcao (14-0, 6 KOs), 30, went down in the first round when Gutierrez (30-18-2, 19 KOs) stepped on his foot. Referee Leo Gerstel mistakenly ruled it was a knockdown.
Falcao, who won a bronze medal in the 2012 Summer Olympics, dominated the rest of the fight. He floored Gutierrez, 39, in the fifth round and won by scores of 79-73, 78-72 and 78-71.
