Dennis Contreras continues to serve as must-see TV.

The streaking featherweight from Guadalajara, Mexico extended his current four-fight win streak following a 10th round stoppage of Miami’s Hairon Socarras. Contreras scored two knockdowns on the night, the latter which prompted a stoppage at 2:13 of round ten in their Telemundo-televised main event Friday evening at KO Addiction Boxing & Fitness Center in Plant City, Florida.

Socarras was the far more polished boxer of the two, even if unable to put it altogether in his pro career. Still, the Cuban export opened the fight well, landing a purposeful jab and following with long right hands which frequently split the loose guard of Contreras.

Things would change in a hurry. Contreras dialed up the pressure in round two, cutting off the ring and forcing Socarras on the defensive as he scored with left hooks and chopping right hands.

Contreras had Socarras in serious trouble in round three, producing the bout’s first knockdown in the process. A right hand, left hook combination left Socarras frozen, with Contreras swarming the Cuban boxer along the ropes before eventually driving him out of the ring.

To his credit, Socarras not only beat the count but also survived a subsequent onslaught to somehow turn the tide. Contreras was overzealous on the offensive attack, leaving his chin exposed for clean one-twos down the middle by the end of the round.

Socarras hoped to build off of the momentum shift once the bell sounded to begin round four, enjoying brief moments of success. Contreras was clearly willing to eat one in order to land two. The pattern would hold true in the middle rounds, with the fiery Mexican slugger coming forward at all costs.

The second half of the bout saw Socarras turn the tide to a degree. Contreras continued to initiate the action but left his guard open for clean combinations.

Socarras connected with left hooks to the body in round seven, bringing the attack up top as Contreras refused to wilt. Contreras charged forward with the same game plan, as Socarras grew increasingly comfortable fighting off of the ropes.

Contreras enjoyed a power surge in round nine. Socarras looked to set traps with his back touching the ropes but was caught with a right hand which left him briefly stunned. He weathered the storm, though not before Contreras emptied both clips looking to close the show.

That moment would come one round later.

Socarras reached a point where hearing the final bell would be a victory in and of itself. Contreras refused to let that happen, enjoying a power surge late in the fight. A flurry of punches had Socarras out on his feet before pitching forward face first to the canvas.

Contreras was briefly turned around in having to be redirected to a neutral corner. It resulted in a long count from the referee, along with another 15 seconds worth of ring time in attempting to evaluate whether Socarras was fit to continue. Socarras was unable to properly respond, resulting in the fight being stopped without another punch being thrown on the night.

The win is four in a row for Contreras, who advances to 24-10-1 (22KOs). The streaking featherweight advances from spoiler to emerging contender.

Socarras falls to 23-2-3 (15KOs), with both career losses coming within his last three starts.

Also on the show, Chris Otero (3-1, 2KOs) was dealt his first defeat as a pro. The Homestead, Florida product landed in a four-round war with Valdosta, Georgia's Martez Jackson (5-4-3), who prevailed by scores of 40-36, 39-37 and 39-37.

The terrific bout aired via slight tape delay, though proving to be worth the wait. Jackson came in hell-bent to test the fighting heart of Otero, rocking the 20-year old Floridian in round two and getting the better of exchanges down the stretch to pull off the minor upset.
