Chris Colbert scored the most important victory of his career, stopping tough contender Jaime Arboleda at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Saturday night.

 

Colbert (15-0, 6 KOs) knocked the Arboleda (16-2, 13 KOs) to the canvas in round nine. Arboleda managed to survive, but Colbert floored Arboleda twice in round 11 - following up with blow after blow until Steve Willis stopped the fight. Colbert was more accurate, while Arboleda threw more punches.

 

The time 1:37 of the 11th round.

 

"I dominated the whole fight," said Colbert. "I probably gave him two rounds, but that was by choice. I just wanted to build his confidence because I knew I was going to stop him in the later rounds. I came to show the 130-pound division that I can punch. I’m here and I’m here to stay."

 

Super lightweight prospect Richardson Hitchins (12-0, 5 KOs) remained unbeaten, scoring a strange split-decision victory over Argenis Mendez (25-6-3, 12 KOs). Two judges scored the 10-round contest 98-92 and 99-91 for Hitchins, while the other saw Mendez he victor by a 97-93 tally.

 

"I rate my performance a B-plus," said Hitchins."I think I might have lost one round. "

 

Matt Korobov was winning his fight against Ronald Ellis (18-1, 12 KOs) until he injured his left Achilles. Korobov (28-4-1, 1, 14 KOs) was in obvious pain when the fight was called. The injury happened in the fourth round.

 

"I know he dies out in the later rounds so I was going to step on it in the second half of the fight," said Ellis.

 

Korobov,37, loses for the second time in a row due to an injury.
