Janelson Figueroa Bocachica stayed unbeaten with a majority decision win over Mark Reyes Jr in tonight’s ShoBox: The New Generation main event, edging scores of 96-94 and 97-93 on two cards, with the third even, 95-95.
Bad Left Hook scored the fight 96-94 for Bocachica (17-0, 11 KO), with a good handful of swing rounds at the very least in what was a close, interesting fight that both young welterweights should learn from in the end.
Bocachica may have gotten a boost from his opponent, actually, as the 24-year-old Reyes (14-1, 12 KO) may walk away from this fight kicking himself for being a bit inactive in some of the middle rounds especially, with some questions about his stamina and conditioning coming into play. Reyes did better in the last couple of rounds, throwing what he had left into the fight, and Bocachica took a lot of the 10th off, seemingly feeling he had enough of a lead by that point and not needing to take risks.

Caleb Truax was a 50-to-1 underdog when he won a majority decision over James DeGale in London. That was in December 2017, Truax was 34, and that gave him the International Boxing Federation s super middleweight championship.
The victory over DeGale was declared to be the Upset of the Year for 2017 for international boxing. It s difficult to get that distinction twice in a career, but the Osseo fighter could lock it up early for 2021 with a startling defeat of Caleb Plant on Saturday night in Los Angeles.
Once again, the betting odds are 50-to-1, although the sportsbooks definitely fudge the numbers when it comes to boxing. If you want to win $100 on Plant, the risk is $5,000. If you want to bet $100 on Truax, you can collect between $2,000 and $2,750, depending on the book.
