Friday, November 13th, County Coliseum, El Paso, Texas: Panama's unbeaten José “El Magnífico” Núñez produced an impressive performance to defeat Mexican contender Bryan “Niño Maravilla” Flores by unanimous decision in the 10-round super lightweight main event of ProBox TV's Ring Wars 25, presented in association with King's Promotions at the County Coliseum in El Paso, Texas. The victory saw Núñez successfully defend his WBA Continental Americas Super Lightweight Championship while capturing the WBC FECARBOX Super Lightweight Championship from Flores. The judges scored the contest 97-93, 97-93 and 96-94, all in favor of the Panamanian southpaw. Núñez improved his unbeaten professional record to 19-0-2 with eight knockouts, while Flores dropped to 29-2-1 with 16 knockouts. Both fighters entered the contest as world-ranked contenders, with Núñez carrying the No. 6 position in the WBA super lightweight rankings and Flores ranked by both the WBC and IBF. The victory represented another significant milestone for Núñez, who strengthened his position among the leading contenders in the highly competitive 140-pound division.

The contest proved to be a competitive and closely contested encounter, with both fighters enjoying periods of success across the 10 rounds. Núñez made an encouraging start, using his southpaw stance, sharp combinations and accurate body punching to establish himself during the opening exchanges. The Panamanian connected with an effective body shot in the second round before landing a sharp left hand to Flores' nose in the third, demonstrating the punching accuracy and power that would prove important throughout the contest. Flores attempted to respond with his own combinations, but Núñez's movement, counterpunching and ability to work effectively at range helped him enjoy several productive moments during the opening half of the fight. Flores, however, gradually found his rhythm and began increasing his offensive activity as the contest progressed.

The Mexican produced a particularly competitive sixth round, increasing his work rate and connecting with effective punches as he attempted to disrupt Núñez's rhythm. Flores also started the eighth round positively, showing greater initial activity before Núñez responded and finished the session with the more effective work. While the contest remained closely fought throughout, Núñez's ability to produce the cleaner punches and finish the rounds strongly proved significant. The Panamanian landed 84 total punches compared with Flores' 59, including a substantial 74-41 advantage in power punches. Those figures reflected Núñez's greater effectiveness with his power shots, although Flores continued to make the contest competitive through his activity and determination.

The ninth round brought an unfortunate interruption when the fighters suffered two accidental head clashes, resulting in a cut above Flores' right eyebrow. The incident required two stoppages for attention, but Flores was permitted to continue following the medical examination. Both fighters entered the final round knowing that the closing exchanges could prove decisive. During the tenth, Núñez appeared to knock Flores down with a punch, although the referee did not rule the incident an official knockdown. Núñez nevertheless finished strongly, connecting with effective left hands and damaging body punches before the final bell. When the official scores were announced, the judges awarded him a unanimous decision, with all three scorecards confirming his victory.

Núñez entered the contest as the reigning WBA Continental Americas Super Lightweight Champion after capturing the championship with an impressive second-round knockout of Cuban Olympic medalist Erislandy Álvarez in Santiago, Chile, in April 2026. The 27-year-old Panamanian, who hails from Curundú, had subsequently established himself as a significant contender in the division, entering the Flores contest ranked No. 6 by the WBA. Flores, meanwhile, brought considerable credentials of his own, having established himself among the leading contenders through victories over Starling Castillo and Jonathan Navarro during 2026. The Mexican entered the contest ranked No. 10 by the WBC and No. 14 by the IBF, while other published rankings placed him at No. 15 with the IBF. Flores also entered as the reigning WBC FECARBOX Super Lightweight Champion, making the contest an important championship opportunity for both men. With his latest victory, Núñez preserved his unbeaten record, retained his WBA regional championship and added the WBC FECARBOX title to his growing collection of honors.

The co-main event featured another important championship performance as Mongolia's Tsendbaatar Erdenebat remained unbeaten with a commanding 10-round unanimous decision victory over Tajikistan's Muhammad Yaqubov to capture the WBC USA Super Featherweight Championship. Erdenebat, a former Olympic standout who entered the contest with an unbeaten 15-0 record and six knockouts, demonstrated his technical ability and offensive discipline against an experienced opponent who had previously compiled a professional record of 23-1-1. The Mongolian scored a knockdown in the opening round, immediately establishing an advantage in the championship contest. Erdenebat continued to control the action through accurate punching, movement and sustained pressure, preventing Yaqubov from mounting a meaningful comeback. The judges scored the contest 98-91, 98-91 and 99-90, all in favor of Erdenebat, who improved his professional record to 16-0 with six knockouts. The victory provided another important milestone for the former amateur standout, who added a WBC regional championship to his growing professional achievements.

The evening's most explosive stoppage came in the 10-round WBC Latino Welterweight Championship contest, where Mexico's undefeated Ruben Eduardo Aguilar overcame an eventful opening round before stopping Argentina's Guido Emmanuel Schramm in the third. Both fighters visited the canvas during the opening round, highlighting the dangerous punching power present on both sides. Aguilar gradually established control and increased his offensive pressure as the contest progressed. The decisive third round saw the Mexican unleash a sustained attack that resulted in three knockdowns of Schramm, forcing the referee to intervene and wave off the contest. Aguilar secured the third-round technical knockout victory and improved his professional record to 25-0-1 with 22 knockouts, maintaining his unbeaten status while capturing the WBC Latino Welterweight Championship. Schramm, who entered the contest with a record of 17-4-3 and 10 knockouts, dropped to 17-5-3 following the stoppage defeat.

The eight-round welterweight contest between Elijah Flores and Puerto Rico's Axl Melendez Salgado produced another unanimous decision victory, with Flores demonstrating superior effectiveness over the scheduled distance. Flores, who entered the contest with a 10-1 professional record, used his punching accuracy and ability to control the exchanges to earn the judges' approval over eight rounds. The official scorecards read 79-73, 80-72 and 78-74, all in favor of Flores, who improved his record to 11-1 with four knockouts. Melendez Salgado, who entered the contest with a 7-1-1 record and four knockouts, suffered his second professional defeat and moved to 7-2-1.

The six-round welterweight contest between Texas prospect Emilio Garcia and Diego Zuniga also produced a clear points victory, with Garcia earning a unanimous decision after an impressive performance. Garcia demonstrated a considerable advantage in offensive activity and accuracy, landing 159 of 506 punches compared with Zuniga's 33 connects from 208 attempts. Garcia also scored three knockdowns, including two in the fourth round, but Zuniga showed considerable determination to survive the attacks and complete the scheduled six rounds. All three judges scored the contest 60-51 in favor of Garcia, who improved his unbeaten professional record to 6-0 with five knockouts. The victory represented another positive step in the development of the Texas welterweight prospect.

ProBox TV is a global sports streaming platform, promotional outfit, and media network dedicated exclusively to professional boxing. Launched on April 19, 2022, the company was founded by CEO Garry Jonas—former head of Iron Mike Productions—in partnership with four former world champions: Roy Jones Jr., Juan Manuel Márquez, Antonio Tarver, and Paulie Malignaggi. Jonas established the network to solve a long-standing issue in the sport, where traditional television networks often relegated boxing to late-night filler behind major stick-and-ball sports, leaving promoters to either buy their own airtime or rely on uncompetitive mismatches to protect rising prospects.

From its inception, ProBox TV built its reputation on a strict anti-mismatch philosophy, prioritizing action-oriented fighters placed in genuine fifty-fifty bouts rather than showcase fights designed to pad undefeated records. Its programming is split between the flagship Championship Series, which features world title bouts and top-10 ranked contenders, and the Future Stars Series, which tests emerging prospects in meaningful step-up fights. Broadcasts are intentionally streamlined without drawn-out musical performances or filler, and feature an analyst desk anchored by figures such as Malignaggi, former world champion Chris Algieri, and renowned trainer Robert Garcia.

The platform's business model and media footprint have evolved significantly since its debut. Originally launched as a $1.99 standalone app before pivoting to an ad-supported free model on YouTube for four years, ProBox TV retired its separate apps in 2026 and transitioned to a $5.00 monthly YouTube Membership to fund higher fighter purses and championship-level main events. Distributed globally with both English and Spanish commentary feeds, the company also expanded into sports journalism in February 2024 by acquiring BoxingScene, uniting live event broadcasting with one of boxing’s oldest daily digital news outlets.
