Isley Wins, But Crowd Boos | Boxing News

Troy Isley edged out Joseph Hicks in a tense, low-impact middleweight battle that lacked fireworks but delivered a unanimous decision — thanks to landing more punches and pushing the pace, even if the crowd grew restless. The rematch vibe from their amateur days didn’t translate into drama, with Hicks staying cautious and Isley struggling to close the distance. While Isley’s win moves him closer to a title shot, it wasn’t the statement performance he likely wanted. Highlights included a scary knockdown for Isley in round two and a stunning moment in round three. Elsewhere, Ashleyann Lozada dominated Paulette Cuesta in a junior featherweight thriller, winning decisively. Meanwhile, Caroline Veyre’s WBC junior lightweight title was stripped after she was disqualified in the eighth round for excessive holding — handing Bernice Ferreira her first world title and a dramatic upset.
