Martinez vs De Abreu: Live updates and results, 8 pm ET
ProBox TV is back with a super middleweight main event from Florida!
Lester Martinez will face Lucas De Abreu in a 10-round super middleweight main event tonight on ProBox TV, from the White Sands Event Center in Plant City, Fla.
John Hansen will be your man leading the ProBox chatter as always this evening.
The original main event for this show was supposed to be William Foster III returning against Fradimil Macayo, but now it is this instead.
Martinez (15-0, 13 KO) is a 27-year-old from Guatemala, and is coming off of a good win over Isaiah Steen, an eighth round stoppage on Apr. 10 in Las Vegas, so he really might have something.
De Abreu (14-3, 11 KO) is 30 and from Brazil, and may be familiar if you’re a ProBox regular, as he lost to Darrelle Valsaint over six rounds on Feb. 22 at this same venue. You may have also seen him lose an eighth round stoppage against Diego Pacheco back in Oct. 2021. At the very least, he hasn’t been just totally decimated in short order against some good prospects.
Also in action:
- Najee Lopez (6-0, 5 KO) returns to take on veteran Christopher Brooker (16-13, 6 KO) in a six-round super middleweight fight. Lopez, 23, turned pro weighing about 210 lbs in Aug. 2021 and has gradually worked his way down in weight to 199, 195, 192, 187, and 173 last time out. He wants to settle at 168 for the time being, and is an interesting prospect. Brooker, 32, has lost his last six, but is a crafty and scrappy guy who can hang around unless you take him out.
- Keyshawn’s brother Kelvin Davis (8-0, 5 KO) is in on loan from Top Rank, which he’s done on ProBox cards before, staying busy. The 26-year-old southpaw isn’t his brother (or his other, even younger brother by all accounts), but, y’know. He’ll be facing Derrick Whitley Jr (7-3-1, 0 KO) in a six-round junior welterweight-ish fight.
- And more, I’m sure!
