Super middleweight Ronald Gavril survived a knockdown to stop Christopher Brooker in the 10th and final round on Saturday night at Sam’s Town Hotel and Gambling Hall in Las Vegas.

Gavril won a vacant regional title belt with the win and improves to 17-1 (13 knockouts). Brooker drops to 11-2 (5 KOs).

It was a competitive bout early on between the two super middleweight prospects and, about 30 seconds into round five, Brooker dropped Gavril with a left-right combination to the head.

Both fighters had their moments during the bout but Gavril landed the more telling blows.



Midway through round 10, Gavril stunned Brooker with a left hook upstairs. Moments later, a combination dropped Brooker to the canvas.

Brooker beat the count but Gavril dropped him again to the canvas, prompting referee Tony Weeks to stop the bout at 2:04.

Gavril is originally from Romania and now resides in Las Vegas. He has now won his last six bouts since suffering his only loss to Elvin Ayala.

In a battle of unbeaten welterweights, Sanjarbek Rakhmanov (6-0-1, 3 KOs) won a one-sided decision over Jonathan Dinong (5-1, 4 KOs). All three judges scored the bout 60-54 in favor of Rakhmanov.

Junior welterweight Ladarius Miller (12-1, 3 KOs) stopped Ronald Rivas (5-5-1, 3 KOs) at 55 seconds of round two.
