Some smaller events took center stage on Saturday night with both main event winners looking at a step up next
A pair of intriguing main events went down in the boxing ring on Saturday night, with Alicia Baumgardner outworking Christina Linardatou to remain undisputed super lightweight champion on DAZN and lightweight prospect Frank Martin surviving a legitimate scare against Artem Harutyunyan on Showtime.
The fights likely lead to bigger next steps for the two main event "A-sides." For Baumgardner, the night featured a stiff challenge but one she was able to turn away with accuracy and aggression. Martin, however, struggled with the pressure of Harutyunyan, needing a late surge to edge out a decision in the WBC lightweight title eliminator over the "international" champion.
Let's take a look at the results from this night of boxing action.
