Zuffa Boxing returned to New York City on Sunday, July 26, and Edgar Berlanga was the name at the top of the card. The super middleweight bout with Steven Butler led the show at the Infosys Theater in Madison Square Garden, where the night was built around live results and scorecards as the event unfolded.
That made the timing matter. The prelims began at 5pm ET and 2pm PT, the main card followed at 8pm ET and 5pm PT, and viewers in the United States could watch the event live on Paramount+. It was a full boxing program, not just a single fight, with Richardson Hitchins meeting Ricardo Salas in a 12-round welterweight matchup and Jalil Hackett facing Sergiy Derevyanchenko in a middleweight showdown.
The undercard added more than just names. Five additional bouts were spread across the heavyweight, welterweight, featherweight and super featherweight divisions, giving the card enough movement to keep the live page active long before the main event. That structure is part of why a card like this lands with more weight than a one-fight night: every result shifts the story for the people still waiting on Berlanga and Butler.
Some of those results turned on a single moment. Vladyslav Sirenko made his Zuffa Boxing debut with a two-punch knockout of Otto Wallin in the final second of the fight, while Emiliano Moreno beat Arnold “AG” Gonzalez over eight rounds by scores of 79-73, 78-74 and 78-74. Kashaun Davis also stayed unbeaten at 12-0 after a decision over Nistor, but the bigger surprise was the route he took. In a battle of undefeated heavyweight knockout artists, Davis did not end it with a stoppage; he won his first decision instead, and the scoreline mattered as much as the record.
That is the point of a live results page like this one for Zuffa Boxing 09: it is not only about who was scheduled to fight, but how those fights actually played out once the bell rang. Berlanga’s main event carried the spotlight, but Sirenko’s last-second finish and Davis’s unusual decision win gave the card its sharpest edges, and they set up the final answer readers were still waiting for from the top of the bill.
