Final result

Angelo Colon vs Jake Pilla
Round One
Phone booth action from both fighters. Pilla looks to knock down Colon but that will go down as a slip. Now Pilla scores the first official knockdown. Pilla walking down Colon and round one will end with very little action from Colon
Round Two
Round two begins with more action from Colon but Pilla isn’t afraid of the line of fire as he drops Colon again! Colon is on sea legs as Pilla scores one last knockdown to seal the deal
Final Result
Jake Pilla defeats Angelo Colon via TKO (Round Two)
James Murrin vs. Chris Rooney
Round One
Stark difference at the start of this fight between the first two, as both fighters are okay with leaving their lead hand out before closing the distance. Distance closes and Murrin catches Rooney with the right hook! Fight over!
Final Result
James Murrin defeats Chris Rooney via right hook TKO (Round One)
Guilherme Viana vs. Rob Perez
Round One
We are off and running on the main card and Rob Perez scores the first knockdown. Viana recovers but Perez smells blood in the water and OHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! VIANA CATCHES PEREZ WITH THE RIGHT HOOK AND PEREZ IS LAID OUT ON THE CANVAS! THE REF WAVES IT OFF!
Final Result
Guilherme Viana defeats Rob Perez via right hook TKO (Round One)
Taylor Starling vs. Kat Paprocki
Round One
Starling presses forward early and seems to already have a very good read on Paprocki. 10 seconds to go and Starling seems to be tuning Paprocki up.
Round Two
Paprocki takes the center first and has her 1s and 2s working for her early. Starling seems to be looking for the the counter punch to put this to an end but Paprocki is evading. A much better round for Paprocki and we’ve got a very even fight going into round 3.
Round Three
Starling is looking for the killshot but seems to be tiring herself out by doing so. Paprocki very composed. Some potshotting from Paprocki. Starling stings Paprocki with a cross. The round ends with both fighters looking to trade in the center as we go to the scorecards for the first time tonight.
Final Result
Taylor Starling defeats Kat Paprocki via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28 ×2)
Pat Casey vs. Dallas Davison
Round One
Lots of technicality from both fighters before Casey scores the first knockdown. Hard fought first round heading into the second
Round Two
Casey comes out even more aggressive but Davison does a better job of head movement and circling. Davison reverses position and catches Casey with a slick cross to the temple to get the TKO.
Final Result
Dallas Davison defeats Pat Casey via TKO (Round 2)
Charles Rosa vs Charon Spain
Round One
Rosa, better known for his grappling as a mixed martial artist comes out with a very quirky stance. Both fighters get their fair share of offense in Round 1.
Round Two
Rosa leaning on his left hand more to start. Still a good amount of activity throughout as Spain knocks Rosa down to close the round.
Round Three
Early clinch as Rosa continues to dip his head. Eye poke from Rosa. Spain misses with a lead hook. Spain leading the dance with 30 seconds to go. Rosa very comfortable in the clinch. Very awkward ending to the round as Rosa throws Spain down twice.
Round Four
Rosa charges Spain for yet another clinch. Great body work for Rosa throughout the round, however, as it all comes down to the night’s first round 5.
Round Five
More of the same from the first two rounds as this fight ends with a very close decision to make from the judges.
Final Result
Charon Spain defeats Charles Rosa via split decision (47-46, 47-45, 45-48)
Rico DiSciullo vs. Tray Martin
Round One
“Let’s go Rico” chants reign throghout Fenway Park as he looks to tune up Martin in round one and does a good job of doing so with constant power
Round Two
DiSciullo scores the first knockdown and puts together a crisp comnbination when Martin stands back up, with Martin more or less just trying to keep up with DiSciullo’s volume.
Round Three
Martin eats a very stiff jab but keeps coming forward. A decent bounceback round from Martin as we enter a perhaps pivotal round 4.
Round Four
Martin takes over the volume and drops DiSciullo, and when DiSciullo stands back up, Martin finishes the job with a counter lead hook to complete the comeback from the first two rounds.
Final Result
Tray Martin defeats Rico DiSciullo via left hook TKO (Round 4)
Peter Barrett vs. Elijah Harris
Round One
Nice cross from Harris. ‘Slippery’ Pete Barrett takes over from there as he drops Harris three times in the round and looks to really have his left hand working for him early.
Round Two
More dominance from the left hand of Barrett to start. The southpaw stance really giving Harris trouble. Low blow from Barrett forces a pause in the action. Both fighters are back up. Barrett seems to accidentally throw an elbow but misses, and drops Harris with a body shot anyways. All Barrett through two rounds
Round Three
An elite display of boxing from Pete Barrett as a NINTH knockdown forces the referee to call it off to secure the victory for Barrett on home soil.
Final Result
Pete Barrett defeats Elijah Harris via TKO (Round Three)
Joe Lauzon vs. Stash Kuykendall
Round One
Joe Lauzon is back, and he’s dropping Kuykendall early with a mean cross. He does so again with another cross right before the 10 second clacker, and then again within the last 10 seconds, giving the hometown crowd everything they had hoped for and more.
Round Two
Joe Lauzon is fighting like a man possessed in his first combat sports action in 7 years. He drops Kuykendall again with a jab, and then again face down goes Kuykendall and that’ll do it to give the 42 year old the victory in his BKFC debut.
Final Result
Joe Lauzon defeats Stash Kuykendall via power jab TKO (Round 2)
BKFC 92 Co-Main Event:
Christine Ferea vs. Sophia Landi
Round One
Lots of throwing but not much landing from the challenger Landi. Ferea decides to meet the volume with power and scores the fight’s first knockdown and that is how we end round 1
Round Two
Ferea turns up the volume herself to start and that’s all she wrote for the challenger, as the short striking from Ferea proves to be too much for Sophia Landi like it has been for many others. And still, your Queen of Violence.
Final Result
Christine Ferea defeats Sophia Landi via TKO (Round 2)
BKFC 92 Main Event:
Kai Stewart vs. Harry Gigliotti
Round One
As per usual, the champion Kai Stewart looks to throw off his opponent with constant stance switching. He’s tagging Gigliotti early with massive power and looks to have decisively taken round 1
Round Two
The relentless pace of the champion continues. Stewart continues to throw with power and volume like no other. Gigliotti is yet to solve the puzzle.
Round Three
Gigliotti lands his hardest punch of the fight and stuns Stewart briefly. Range is where Gigliotti wants this fight to be from but Stewart will not allow it. Stewart continues to dominate in the clinch and in the center.
Round Four
Gigliotti tags Stewart again but not as significant as the first time. Gigliotti figures to catch Stewart as Stewart blitzes in like he usually does. Gigliotti has made this very interesting heading into the fifth and final round with center control and precision.
Round Five
Stewart seems to be gassing, but he’s still not letting up, and does just enough with the clinch work and pot shotting to all but retain his championship on enemy turf.
Final Result
Kai Stewart defeats Harry Gigliotti via unanimous decision (49-46, 48-47 ×2)
