Berlanga can add to his streak when he faces Demond Nicholson on Saturday in Kissimmee, Florida, in the co-feature bout of WBO featherweight champion Emanuel Navarrete s title defense against Christopher Diaz (10 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN+). If Berlanga scores another first-round KO, he will have the fourth-longest run ever to begin a pro career, with boxing history within reach. Junior flyweights Ali Raymi, who died in 2015 at the age of 41, owns the record with first-round knockouts in his first 21 bouts, followed by junior middleweight Tyrone Brunson with 19 and the late two-division champion Edwin Valero with 18.
For Berlanga, though, the focus this weekend will be on simply achieving victory No. 17, not on extending his streak. He ll be looking to once again show off his lethal efficiency and get a KO, but he s not concerned about when the finish will come.

Stanionis drops Gonzalez.
Stanionis grinds down Gonzalez on his way to a ninth round stoppage. Nothing flashy about the Lithuanian. He just walks forward through whatever punches come his way and responds with clubbing rights and left hooks to the body. Gonzalez was forced to fight going back as nothing he threw was stopping the forward march of Stanionis. The Lithuanian also has a very useful jab which he used to set Gonzalez up for his hooking attacks. Gonzalez was finding plenty of gaps and landing some strong punches but he began to wilt under the relentless pressure from Stanionis. The fight had gone out of Gonzalez by the eighth and two rights crosses and a right uppercut saw him
