A roundup of the past weeks notable boxing results from around the world:Saturday at Manukau, New ZealandJoseph Parker KO3 Alexander Dimitrenko Heavyweight Records: Parker (21-0, 18 KOs); Dimitrenko (38-3, 24 KOs)Rafaels remarks: The 6-foot-4, 234-pound Parker, 24, of New Zealand, is the mandatory challenger for heavyweight world titleholder Anthony Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs), of England, but risked his status in against the 6-7, 254-pound Dimitrenko, 34, of Russia, a former European heavyweight champion rising a six-fight winning streak. But Dimitrenko proved to be no match for Parker, despite a somewhat controversial ending.Parker utterly dominated the fight. Sharp and accurate with his punches, Parker dropped Dimitrenko four times overall. He began the domination in the opening round, sending Dimitrenko to the mat with a left-right combination. He dropped him twice more in the second round with an overhand right that sent him to all fours and a right hand on top of the head moments later. In the third round, Parker was again taking it to Dimitrenko and when they were tied up Parker landed a hard right hand to the ribs, forcing Dimitrenko to take a knee while still holding on to Parker, who then nailed him with another right hand to the body. Heres where the controversy comes in: Dimitrenko was on one knee when Parker hit him with the second body shot, sending him fully to the canvas, where he writhed around in apparent pain and stayed down for a couple of minutes. Canadian referee Marlon Wright, however, did not call a foul on Parker for hitting Dimitrenko while he was down and instead counted him out at 1 minute, 38 seconds. Wright probably made the right call as Dimitrenko had been manhandling Dimitrenko and did not seem to realize he was on the mat when he threw the punch. Dimitrenko also seemed to be doing a bit of acting in an effort to perhaps gain a disqualification victory.In any event, it was an excellent performance from Parker, who could land a Nov. 26 shot at Joshua if Joshua does not wind up facing former champion Wladimir Klitschko in a fight in discussions. Another possibility is for Parker to meet Andy Ruiz Jr. (29-0, 19 KOs) for a potentially vacant belt if Tyson Fury is stripped following his positive cocaine test last week.Saturday at Neubrandenburg, GermanyNathan Cleverly TKO7 Juergen Braehmer - Fight recap Wins a light heavyweight title Records: Cleverly (30-3, 16 KOs); Braehmer (48-3, 35 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Braehmer, a 37-year-old southpaw from Germany, was making the seventh defense of his secondary world title against former titleholder Cleverly, 29, of Wales -- Sergey Kovalev has the top title and already owns a knockout of Cleverly -- but Cleverly pulled the mild upset in the most unexpected fashion.Cleverly applied pressure and outworked Braehmer, but Braehmer was more accurate with his punches. According to CompuBox punch statistics, Cleverly landed 194 of 711 punches (27 percent) and Braehmer connected with 200 of 422 blows (47 percent).Before the bell rang to begin the seventh round Braehmer quit, walking across the ring to congratulate Cleverly. Braehmer apparently had a right elbow injury, which he iced after the fight, although he did not appear to be in any distress.Cleverly got a big win in a good fight, claimed another title belt and likely will face Braehmer again since he has a rematch clause.Saturday at Los Mochis, MexicoHumberto Soto TKO2 Daniel Ruiz Welterweight Records: Soto (66-9-2, 36 KOs); Ruiz (34-10-2, 24 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Soto, 36, of Mexico, a former junior lightweight and lightweight world titleholder, ended one year of inactivity virtually to the day in this quick fight against countryman Ruiz, who lost his second fight in a row by stoppage.Soto, coming off a 10-round decision loss to junior welterweight contender Antonio Orozco on HBO last Oct. 3, did not prove much against Ruiz given the circumstances of the ending of the fight. Ruiz injured his left wrist that prevented him from continuing, ending the fight at 2 minutes, 8 seconds of the second round in their scheduled 10-round bout. Sotos goal now is to fight one more time before the end of this year and then land a world title opportunity at junior welterweight in 2017.Friday at Indio, CaliforniaPetr Petrov TKO6 Michael Perez Lightweight - Title eliminator Records: Petrov (38-4-2, 19 KOs); Perez (24-2-2, 11 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Petrov, 33, a Russian-born fighter based in Spain, and Perez, 26, of Newark, New Jersey, met in the main event of Golden Boy Promotions Boxeo Estelar series on Estrella TV for the right to become the mandatory challenger for newly-crowned world champion Jorge Linares, who outpointed Anthonyy Crolla last week.dddddddddddd.Petrov, who won the 2014 ESPN Boxcino lightweight tournament, scored his sixth in a row as he pounded Perez, whose 10-fight unbeaten streak (9-0-1) since 2012 came to an end.Petrov wobbled him in the second round with a right hand and then dropped him with another right hand moments later. Perez beat the count but was bleeding over his right eye as Petrov inflicted more damage during the round. Accidental head butts in the fourth and fifth rounds opened cuts on Perezs scalp and by the end of the sixth round he had taken a lot of punishment and his trainer, Robert Garcia, stopped the fight in the corner. Although Petrov earned the mandatory title shot at Linares (41-3, 27 KOs) it will not be Linares next fight because he is likely headed to an immediate rematch with Crolla in early 2017.Friday at Wunzhou, ChinaNehomar Cerme?o KO3 Anurak Thisa Retains a junior featherweight title Records: Cerme?o (25-5-1, 15 KOs); Thisa (17-1, 5 KOs)Rafaels remarks: On June 30, Cerme?o, 36, of Venezuela, stopped Chinas Xiao Jun Qiu in the 12th round in Beijing to win a vacant regular 122-pound title; Guillermo Rigondeaux owns the top belt. Cerme?o returned to China to make his first defense against the unknown Thisa, 25, of Thailand, who was fighting outside of his country for the first time and facing the first remotely known opponent of his three-year pro career. It was not much of a fight as Cerme?o destroyed the inexperienced Thisa. He gave a good effort and tried to mix it up with Cerme?o, but he was too strong for the challenger. In the third round, Cerme?o dropped him with a flush left to the chin and referee Bruce McTavish counted him out at 2 minutes, 19 seconds as Thisa struggled to get to his feet.Friday at ChicagoMike Lee W10 Chris Traietti Light heavyweight Scores: 99-90 (twice), 98-91 Records: Lee (18-0, 10 KOs); Traietti (21-4, 17 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Lee, 29, the Notre Dame graduate from Chicago, who is best known for his appearances in a series of Subway restaurant commercials, headlined a CBS Sports Net-televised card in front of his hometown fans and rolled to the lopsided decision in a rough, tough fight against Traietti, 31, of Quincy, Massachusetts, who gave a great effort but was outgunned by the stronger, quicker Lee.It was a crowd-pleasing fight in which Lees biggest moment came in the second round when he banged Traietti to the head with a right hand that forced him to touch his knee to the mat for the only knockdown of the bout. Mostly, they traded at close quarters but it was Lee who busted up Traiettis face -- he suffered a possible broken nose in the fifth round -- and got the better of the exchanges.Also on the card, Chicago welterweight prospect Ed Bad Boy Brown (19-0, 16 KOs), 24, knocked out Robert Acevedo (13-17-3, 1 KO), 30, of Union City, New Jersey, with a right hand to the head at 1 minute, 43 seconds of the third round.Friday at Las VegasErik Ruiz W10 Hanzel Martinez Junior featherweight Scores: 98-92, 97-93, 95-95 Records: Ruiz (16-5-1, 6 KOs); Martinez (23-3, 18 KOs)Rafaels remarks: Ruiz, 25, of Oxnard, California, took this fight -- the main event of Knockout Night at D card on CBS Sports Net -- on short notice when Martinezs original opponent Emmanuel Quartey could not secure a visa in time. But Ruiz, now 1-1-1 in his past three fights, was up to the task against Martinez, 24, of Mexico, the brother-in-law of former welterweight titleholder Antonio Margarito. The craftier Ruiz did a nice job of outboxing Martinez and displaying solid defense. Martinezs game plan seemed to be simply to lunge at Ruiz and try to land a big punch but usually when Martinez did that Ruiz countered him and moved out of the way. Martinezs three-fight winning streak came to an end.Friday at Mexico CityEmmanuel Dominguez KO4 Alejandro Payasito Hernandez Junior featherweight Records: Dominguez (19-5-2, 13 KOs); Hernandez (31-12-2, 16 KOs)Rafaels remarks: This was an unexpected result in the main event of promoter Tutico Zabalas Boxeo Telemundo card on Telemundo as Dominguez, 22, scored the upset over Mexican countryman Hernandez, 30, to win the Mexican national 122-pound title. Hernandez may not have a great looking record but the former interim bantamweight titleholder is vastly more experienced against better opposition than Dominguez. However, Dominguez scored the one-punch knockout, drilling Hernandez with a brutal left hook to the liver in the fourth round, dropping him to all fours for the full count at 1 minute, 20 seconds for the biggest win of his career.
