Bethlehem, PA -- Jamel Herring looked spectacular in his first televised main event, dominating Luis Flores over 10 rounds Tuesday evening at Sands Bethlehem Events Center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Scores were 100-89 (twice) and 99-90 in favor of Herring in the evening's main event, which topped the latest installment of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Fox Sports 1. 

Herring (15-0, 8KOs) was in control from the opening bell, boxing smartly throughout and hurting Flores on a number of occasions. There existed the threat of a knockout in round five, when Herring - a U.S. Marine who served as the captain of the 2012 U.S. Olympic boxing team - scored two knockdown. Flores was dropped by a left hand body shot with just under a minute to go in the round, then touching his glove to the canvas after getting clipped with a check right hook upstairs. 

The unbeaten southpaw continued to apply pressure, but it was the closest he came all night to an early ending. Instead, he settles for a landslide win in his first fight of 2016, a year in which he's vowed to win a world title. 

TELEVISED RESULTS

Raynell Williams survived a near-disastrous eighth and final round to preserve a unanimous decision win over Gabriel Tolmajyan in their lightweight scrap. Scores were 79-73 (twice) and 78-74 for Williams, a 2008 U.S. Olympian who trains with Herring, Adrien Broner and Rau'Shee Warren among a slew of other talented fighters.

The fight was largely one way for most of the night, but Williams forgot to play defense down the stretch. His decision to stand in front of his target after playing stick and move for most of the night nearly cost him the fight. Tolmajyan (14-5-2, 3KOs), who had a five-pound advantage at the scales - clipped Williams upstairs, rocking the Cleveland native only for the sequence to be interrupted by referee Gary Rosato. 

Williams ate a few more shots but managed to remain upright and hear the final bell. It wasn't his best performance, but a stiff test that he survived nevertheless as he advances to 11-0 (5KOs). 

Alex Martin opened the telecast with an eight-round unanimous decision win over Rossemberth Gomez. Scores were 79-73 (twice) and 80-72 in favor of Martin, an unbeaten welterweight prospect from Harvey, Ill. who was making his televised debut.

NON-TELEVISED RESULTS

A lightweight fight between Carlos Rosario (3-1, 2KO) and Victor Vasquez (4-1, 2KO) fought as if they wanted to tell the suits that they made a mistake by not televising their scrap. The final prelim bout before the cameras began rolling ended with Rosario taking a split decision in a non-stop thriller.

Both fighters were willing to eat two punches in order to throw one. The shorter Rosario would land first, but he was unable to escape without getting tagged by the rangier Vasquez. It would not be accurate to say the fight could have taken place in a phone booth, because some of the punches were far too wide to be confined.

Rather, if hosting a party with these two on the guest list, it would be wise to clear the furniture from the room and stock up on the plaster to repair the walls. The bout ended as it began. While the fighters were reduced to mostly arm punching, they did stop trading until the final bell rang.

Unfortunately, this bout had to go to the scorecards. Not saying that either fighter could have given more, but no one would have argued if the fight was ruled a Draw. Boxingscene.com scored the bout 38-38. The official scorecards were read, and two of the three judges favored Rosario 39-37, while the third scored the bout 39-37 for Vasquez.

Philadelphia’s David Gonzales (7-0-2, 2KO) stopped Pittsburgh’s Justin Johnson (6-11-4) in the fourth round of their super lightweight contest.

Gonzales seemed much more fluid with his combination punching and had more variety in his offensive game throughout the first three rounds. Johnson did a good job of tying up Gonzales as he tried to smother his punches while landing on the inside.

When the fighters decided to trade in the fourth round, it was Gonzales who ended his flurry with a left hook to Johnson’s ribs. Johnson went down on all fours and was unable to beat the count.

The ending may have appeared sudden to anyone who missed the perfectly placed left hand. The official time of the stoppage was 0:49 of round 4.

It took around four minutes for Cincinnati welterweight Jamontay Clark (9-0, 6 KO) to have his opponent completely measured and within his range for target practice.

Unfortunately for Elvin Perez (28-13-4, 19 KO) there were still over four rounds left on the clock.

Clark is a tall, lanky welterweight who fights out of the southpaw stance. However, he seems to pack as much punch with his lead right hand. He used that hand to break down Perez’s body, before focusing on doing his damage upstairs with his jab and straight left.

In the opening bout of the evening we were introduced to Jordan “Shortdog” White (2-0, 2KO) of Washington DC. Unfortunately, we did not have the chance to get to know much about the junior lightweight. He knocked his opponent, Manuel Rubalcava (2-16-0), down with a straight left to the body, and then out with a counter left hook to the chin. The bout was waved off at 1:24. White made his professional debut on 12/08/15; he should be back in the ring soon.

The seven bout card was promoted by Kings Promotions and featured on Premier Boxing Champions Tuesday Night Toe to Toe on Fox Sports 1.
