Jonny Mansour made light work of Christian Avalos in the main event of “Championing Mental Health: A Night of Boxing” at Avalon Hollywood. It was a pure six-round clinic. Avalos had no answers for Mansour’s foot control, lead hand discipline, or bodywork.
Mansour won 60-54 across the board — and honestly, Avalos barely touched him. The San Diego lightweight boxed like a seasoned pro, measuring distance with feints, timing his counters, and shifting gears when needed.
This was his second outing in 2025, and you can already see the maturity developing. He’s not just winning. He’s managing rounds like a fighter who knows how to pace himself over 10 or 12.
Pasillas times Jackson perfectly, Ramirez delivers a savage upset, Ruvalcaba stays composed
Vic Pasillas didn’t waste time shaking off ring rust. After 16 months out, he came in sharp, patient, and surgical against Carlos Jackson. He stepped inside Jackson’s jab all night, sat down on his shots in the mid rounds, then smoked him in the seventh. One clean shot ended it. KO at 2:05.
Jose Ramirez came in with nothing to lose — and left with a body on the resume. Taking the fight on a week’s notice, he walked down Jessie Mandapat in three rounds and dropped him three times. It wasn’t just a knockout. It was a statement: pressure, timing, and confidence beat any layup matchup if the underdog’s ready.
Ricardo Ruvalcaba handled veteran Luis Veron the way a real prospect should. Didn’t chase the KO. Took eight clean rounds, scored the shutout (80-72 x3), and used the fight to get reps. You don’t always need a finish — what Ruvalcaba got was more valuable: composure against a guy who’s been through wars.
Brook Sibrian, fighting out of Coachella, went toe-to-toe with Rubi Gutierrez and edged her out with the cleaner work inside. 60-54, 60-54, and 59-55 say all you need. She stayed defensively responsible and walked Gutierrez into counter rights all night.
Avetis Gadyan put on a first-round blitz. Walter Saragosa came in 0-2 and left on the canvas. Gadyan floored him three times in under two minutes — efficient, destructive, and smart. He didn’t smother his work. He placed everything.
Ivy Enriquez may only be 18, but she’s got composure most grown fighters lack. Her jab alone won her the fight. 40-36 across the board, no drama, no sloppiness. Just clean, basic fundamentals executed with poise.
