The WBC Boxing Grand Prix continues today and we’re down to the final 16 fighters.

Fighters at featherweight, junior welterweight, middleweight and heavyweight will be looking to book their spot in the finals, which take place on December 20.

Each fight is six three-minute rounds. Fights cannot end in a draw, and the bouts are scored on a qualitative scoring system if a fight is even at the end.

Fight results below …JUNIOR WELTERWEIGHT

  • Mujibillo Tursunov def. Danylo Lozan MD

Tursunov and Lozan started the day with an all-action bout, with Tursunov’s pressure and volume helping him carry the day and become the first fighter to earn a spot in the super lightweight final. Tursunov (9-0, 2 KOs) won, 59-55 twice and 58-56 twice across four of the five judges’ scorecards. The loss was the first for Lozan (15-1, 9 KOs) in his pro career.

  • Carlos Utria def. Ntethelelo Nkosi by TKO 1

Utria continued his dominating run with his most impressive performance yet, as he stopped Nkosi in less than two minutes. Utria (13-0, 11 KOs) hurt Nkosi (10-3, 5 KOs) with a straight right hand followed by a left hook. Nkosi went stumbling into the ropes. And after a flurry of shots from Utria, referee Hector Afu stopped the fight with 1:23 remaining in the opening round.

FINAL: Tursunov vs. Utria

FEATHERWEIGHT

  • Muhamet Qamili def. Yoni Valverde TKO 1

Qamili stamped his place in the final with a first-round stoppage of Yoni Valverde Jr. Around the midway point of the opening round, Qamili (17-0-1, 8 KOs) connected with a huge left hand to the chin of Valverde (16-1, 3 KOs). Valverde rose to his feet on unsteady legs, and a barrage of punches from Qamili forced referee Joel Scobie to call a halt to the fight late in the round. It was Qamili’s first stoppage victory in the Grand Prix.

  • Brandon Mejía Mosqueda def. Bekizizwe Maite KO 5

A pair of left hooks to the liver cemented Mosqueda’s spot in the final. In the last minute of the fifth, Mosqueda (12-0, 10 KOs), sent Maitse (8-2-1, 3 KOs) to the canvas in a heap of pain from a left hook to the liver. Maitse rose to his feet, but when he went to exchange with Mosqueda along the ropes, Mosqueda found the sweet spot again. And this time Maitse didn’t beat the count. The stoppage win was Mosqueda’s second in the Grand Prix.

FINAL: Mosqueda vs. Qamili
