Eimantas Stanionis (11-0, 8 KOs) defeated Justin DeLoach (19-5, 10 KOs) by TKO in the ninth round in the main event of the evening of the Premier Boxing Champions night in Los Angeles. Thus, the 26-year-old Lithuanian returned to the ring after almost a year layoff.
Welterweight Stanionis had problems with the active and fast DeLoach in the early rounds. But with the development of the fight, the Lithuanian boxer gradually got used to and increasingly began to inflict hooks. Ultimately in the ninth round, Stanionis broke the American, sending him to the floor twice and forcing the referee to stop the fight.
As part of the same evening, welterweight Chordale Booker (16-0, 7 KOs) scored another victory as a pro defeating Sunny Duverson (11-2-2, 8 KOs) by split decision. After eight rounds, two judges counted it 77-75 in favor of Booker, and the third gave 77-75 to his opponent.
