Toro Promotions’ convoy of burly heavyweight hopefuls – the undefeated 2020 Ukraine Olympian Tsotne Rogava (6-0, 6 KOs), Alexander Flores (19-4-1, 17 KOs), and Kingsley Ibeh (12-2-1, 10 KOs) – all delivered knockout punches that sent their opponents to dreamland last evening at LumColor Phoenix Center in Ontario, California.
In a thrilling collaboration, Toro Promotions, Inc. teamed up with Fearless Boxing Promotions to put on this spectacle.
Rogava, towering at 6’5″ and packing 264 pounds of muscle, continued his streak of unblemished victories, making it six for six with his fists doing the talking – all ending in knockouts. The Georgian titan, a force of nature in the ring, laid waste to Antonio Brown (8-5, 8 KOs), sending him to the canvas three times in the first round, marking his third consecutive first-round rout.
Coming from a background in Muay Thai and kickboxing, Rogava didn’t just beat Brown; he steamrolled him. Despite Brown’s own reputation for power punches, he was no match for Rogava, who has spent a scant eight rounds in the ring over six pro fights, steamrolling every challenger before even breaking a sweat.
Flores, shaking off the dust from a previous defeat, returned with a vengeance. He unleashed a barrage of punches on Josue Vargas (5-7-2, 2 KOs), sealing the deal in the third round. The Rowland Heights, California native has tasted defeat before, but only at the hands of world champions – a testament to his caliber.
Ibeh, hailing from Nigeria and now a Phoenix local, is an imposing figure at 6’4″ and nearly 300 pounds. He added another win to his belt with a first-round obliteration of Derek Cardenas (9-12, 2 KOs). Ibeh, related to the notorious heavyweight Ike Ibeabuchi, floored Cardenas not once but twice in the opening round, extending his winning streak to seven.
