On May 10 (Japan time May 11), at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California, Top Rank’s co-main event featured a 12-round bout for the IBF Interim World Lightweight Title. The fight pitted IBF No.2 Zaur Abdullaev (Russia, 20 wins [12 KOs], 1 loss) against IBF No.4 Raymond Muratalla (USA, 22 wins [17 KOs], undefeated), with Muratalla winning by unanimous decision.
In Round 1, Muratalla opened with fast jabs, while Abdullaev kept a high guard and studied his opponent’s movement. In Round 2, Muratalla landed a left hook followed by a left uppercut, and a sudden right straight caught Abdullaev clean. In Round 3, Muratalla continued with jabs and right straights. Abdullaev tried a right counter but threw few punches overall.
In Round 4, Muratalla landed a one-two followed by a left to the body. Against Abdullaev’s peek-a-boo guard, Muratalla continued to score with quick combinations. In Round 5, Abdullaev tried to press with repeated one-twos, but Muratalla smoothly evaded and countered with jabs and right hands. Round 6 saw Abdullaev increasing his output, but Muratalla answered with body shots, jabs, and straight rights.
In Round 7, as Abdullaev tried to close the distance with extended jabs, Muratalla looked to counter with the right. In Round 8, despite being behind on points, Abdullaev remained hesitant to throw. Muratalla fought cautiously too, but landed a one-two and a left uppercut.
Round 9 saw Abdullaev inching forward as his corner urged him to press, but Muratalla’s footwork and sharp jabs kept him at bay. In Round 10, Abdullaev, usually strong in the late rounds, failed to mount his trademark flurries. Muratalla controlled the distance and aimed uppercuts in close.
In Round 11, Abdullaev advanced with jabs and one-twos, but Muratalla slipped them and landed a right uppercut inside. In the final round, Muratalla used jabs to disrupt Abdullaev’s attempts to come forward, moved freely with stance switches, and touched with straights and uppercuts. Abdullaev was unable to show his usual form and heard the final bell without making an impact.
The official scorecards read 119–109, 119–109, and 118–110. Muratalla showcased superior speed and technique, dominating the fight from start to finish. He earned a flawless victory and is now poised to contend among the elite in the lightweight division.
In a 10-round super featherweight bout, WBC No.9 and WBO No.11 Andres Cortes (USA, 22 wins [12 KOs]) faced Salvador Jimenez (Spain, 14 wins [6 KOs], 1 loss, 1 draw). Cortes won by unanimous decision with scores of 100–90, 100–90, and 99–91.
5月10日（日本時間11日），美國加州聖地牙哥的佩昌加體育館舉行了Top Rank主辦的聯合主賽。IBF世界輕量級過渡冠軍決定戰由世界第2的扎烏爾・阿卜杜拉耶夫（俄羅斯，20勝12KO，1敗）對陣第4名的雷蒙德・穆拉塔拉（美國，22戰全勝17KO），最終由穆拉塔拉以一致判定勝出。
首回合，穆拉塔拉以快速刺拳起手，阿卜杜拉耶夫高舉防守，觀察對手動向。第2回合，穆拉塔拉打出左勾拳接左上勾拳，突如其來的右直拳也命中對手。第3回合，穆拉塔拉繼續以刺拳帶右直拳進攻。阿卜杜拉耶夫雖試圖反擊右拳，但出拳寥寥。
第4回合，穆拉塔拉打出組合拳並擊中左腹，對阿卜杜拉耶夫的窺視式防守，他快速命中連續直拳。第5回合，阿卜杜拉耶夫嘗試多次一二連拳，但穆拉塔拉巧妙閃躲，反擊刺拳與右拳。第6回合，阿卜杜拉耶夫出拳漸增，穆拉塔拉則以左腹拳、刺拳、右直拳回應。
第7回合，阿卜杜拉耶夫試圖拉近距離，穆拉塔拉伺機反擊。第8回合，阿卜杜拉耶夫落後卻依然出拳不多。穆拉塔拉也謹慎應戰，但仍打出一二連拳與左上勾拳。
第9回合，阿卜杜拉耶夫在角落催促聲中嘗試前進，但面對穆拉塔拉的靈活移動難以施展。第10回合，擅長後半程的阿卜杜拉耶夫未能打出連擊，穆拉塔拉控制距離並伺機打出上勾拳。
第11回合，阿卜杜拉耶夫以刺拳連擊推進，穆拉塔拉成功閃避並反擊右上勾拳。最終回合，穆拉塔拉用刺拳壓制對方起手，自由換位，靈活打出直拳與上勾拳，阿卜杜拉耶夫未能發揮特長，聽到終場鈴聲。
官方比分為119-109、119-109、118-110。穆拉塔拉展示出速度與技巧上的明顯優勢，全程主導比賽，完勝對手，預計未來將活躍於輕量級頂尖戰線。
在超羽量級10回合賽中，WBC第9、WBO第11的安德烈斯・科爾特斯（美國，22戰全勝12KO）對戰薩爾瓦多・希梅內斯（西班牙，14勝6KO，1敗1和），最終科爾特斯以100-90、100-90、99-91的判定獲勝。
Andres Cortes returned to the ring after approximately 11 months. His opponent, Salvador Jimenez, was coming off his first career loss in a 12-round decision against WBC International champion on March 1 (March 2 Japan time) in the UK, making this his comeback fight.
At the outset, Cortes applied steady pressure with jabs, left hooks, and right straights. Jimenez kept a tight guard, throwing few punches while waiting for counter opportunities.
From Round 4 onward, Cortes increased his offensive output, mixing jabs and left hooks to the head and body, followed by right straights. However, whenever Jimenez responded, Cortes backed off and his punch volume dropped, leading to a lackluster pace. By Round 8, boos were heard from the crowd. Although Cortes picked up the pace, he couldn’t break through Jimenez’s tight defense, and the fight ended without much excitement.
In a 10-round welterweight bout, WBC and WBO No.13 ranked Giovanni Santillan (USA, 33 wins [18 KOs], 1 loss) faced Angel Beltran (Mexico, 18 wins [11 KOs], 2 losses). Santillan won by unanimous decision with all three judges scoring it 97–93.
In an 8-round super bantamweight fight, Sebastian Hernandez Reyes (Mexico), undefeated in 19 fights (18 KOs), riding a 17-fight KO streak, and ranked No.10 WBC, No.11 WBO, and No.14 IBF, faced former world contender Azat Hovhannisyan (Armenia, 21 wins [17 KOs], 5 losses). Reyes won by unanimous decision. The scores were 98–91 from all three judges. (Note: Hovhannisyan was deducted one point in Round 9 for holding.)
Though Reyes failed to extend his KO streak to 18, going the full distance against a seasoned fighter like Hovhannisyan—who had previously faced top-tier opponents like Luis Nery and Alan Picasso—will serve as a valuable experience for the 24-year-old.
安德烈斯・科爾特斯時隔約11個月重返拳台。對手薩爾瓦多・希梅內斯則是在3月1日（日本時間2日）於英國比賽中挑戰WBC洲際冠軍，最終12回合判定落敗，吞下生涯首敗，這場為其復出戰。
開局，科爾特斯穩步施壓，以刺拳、左勾拳、右直拳進攻。希梅內斯採取高防守姿態，出拳不多，專注於反擊機會。
從第4回合起，科爾特斯加強攻勢，上下交替使用刺拳與左勾拳，並打出右直拳。但當希梅內斯偶爾反擊時，科爾特斯便拉開距離，出拳數也減少，節奏略顯平淡。到了第8回合，觀眾席傳出噓聲。雖然科爾特斯嘗試加快節奏，卻無法突破希梅內斯的堅固防守，最終比賽在缺乏高潮下結束。
在次中量級10回合賽中，WBC與WBO排名第13的喬瓦尼・聖地亞蘭（美國，33勝18KO，1敗）對戰安赫爾・貝爾特蘭（墨西哥，18勝11KO，2敗），最終聖地亞蘭以三位裁判一致判定97-93獲勝。
在超雛量級8回合賽中，擁有19戰全勝（18KO）、17連續KO紀錄，WBC世界第10、WBO第11、IBF第14名的賽巴斯蒂安・赫南德斯・雷耶斯（墨西哥）對戰前世界挑戰者阿扎特・霍夫哈尼相（亞美尼亞，21勝17KO，5敗），最終雷耶斯以98-91×3的比分判定獲勝（第9回合霍夫哈尼相因抱人被扣1分）。
儘管雷耶斯未能達成18連續KO，但能與曾對戰路易斯・內里與阿蘭・皮卡索等世界級高手的霍夫哈尼相打滿回合，對這位24歲新星而言，將是一場寶貴經驗。
All eyes are on whether Muratalla can prove himself the best with his speed and technique.
眾所矚目的是穆拉塔拉是否能以速度與技巧證明自己是最強者。
