DAZN Boxing Omari Jones vs. Alan Sanchez Live Updates, Highlights and Results

Somebody's "0" didn't actually have to go.

Five unbeaten fighters walked from the locker room to the ring Friday in Orlando, Florida, and four made the return walk with their pristine marks intact.

The show at the Caribe Royale was headlined by local hero Omari Jones, who improved to 8-0 with a second-round erasure of 32-fight veteran Alan Sanchez.

Main Card

  • Omari Jones def. Alan Sanchez by TKO, 0:29, Round 2
  • Jordon Orozco def. Yusniel Abrahante by TKO, 2:31, Round 6
  • Donte Layne def. Keithland King by unanimous decision (78-74, 80-72, 80-72)
  • Diego Nieves def. Fidencio Hernandez by majority decision (57-57, 58-56, 58-56)

Jones had appeared three previous times at his hometown venue, winning twice by KO in a combined five rounds and taking the other by an eight-round decision.

The 23-year-old had last fought in late May in Houston, where he outpointed Diego Zuniga over eight rounds on the undercard of O'Shaquie Foster's bout with Raymond Ford for the WBC world title at 130 pounds.

Friday's bout was his third scheduled eight-rounder.

Fight Result: Jones v Sanchez

That's three KOs in four performances in front of the home crowd for Jones, who improved to 8-0 with a TKO that came at 29 seconds of Round 2.

"This is what we trained for," he said.

"We take every fight like it's a world championship fight. That's why we were ready. That was the game plan, to put on a dominant performance."

Jones scored KOs in the first four fights of his career, but had gone the distance three straight times—six rounds, eight rounds, and eight rounds again—before stopping Sanchez, who was finished inside the distance for the fourth time in eight losses.

"I'm here for a reason," Jones said. "I want to thank everybody, the whole Orlando area, for showing up."

Fight End: Jones v Sanchez

Jones looked like he wanted to make quick work of Sanchez from the start as he stalked behind a long, hard left jab and Sanchez retreated. Follow-up rights didn't land cleanly at first, but the impact of the shots on the arms consistently drove Sanchez backward.

It ended early in the second after hard right hands again drove Sanchez backward, and Jones pinned him in a corner and threw enough follow-up shots to draw the attention of referee Christopher Young.

Fight Start: Jones v Sanchez

The ring walk times were kicked up 10-plus minutes for the eight-round main event, which matches Orlando favorite Omari Jones—making his fourth appearance at the venue—and 32-fight veteran Alan Sanchez.

Jones, a bronze medalist at the 2024 Olympics, has fought 31 rounds in seven pro bouts and gone eight rounds twice. Sanchez, a native in Mexico now living in California, has fought twice in Florida—winning a decision in Plant City in 2021 and losing by fourth-round TKO in nearby Kissimmee in his most recent fight in May 2025.

Fight Result: Orozco v Abrahante

It wasn't a one-punch KO, but it did come out of nowhere.

Orozco got a perfect 22nd birthday present with a TKO win that came after referee Luis Pabon intervened at 2:31 of Round 6.

Abrahante had been the better man for nearly every moment of six rounds until Orozco trapped him along the ropes, hurt him to the body and followed up with a prolonged flurry that forced Pabon's hand.

"Got it," Orozco said. "I realized I started slow. It took me a little while to get used to him. The power took over"

B/R had Abrahante up, 5-0 in rounds and 50-45 on points, at the time of the stoppage.

It was just Orozco's fourth trip past the fourth round and his second sixth-round finish.

He's begun 57 rounds in 18 fights, an average of just more than three rounds per fight.

Fight End: Orozco v Abrahante

Well, let's go ahead and give Orozco credit for drama.

Just as it seemed he was about to go down 5-1 or 6-0 on the scorecards, he unleashed a flurry along the ropes and into a neutral corner that left Abrahante sagging and prompted a wave-off from referee Luis Pabon.

Three Down, Nine to Go: Orozco v Abrahante

It was the definition of a feeling-out round in the first as Abrahante worked the center of the ring and tested his higher-profile opponent while Orozco, with the KO pedigree, barely threw a meaningful punch across three minutes. The most memorable shots of the round? A left/right from Abrahante to Orozco's body in the final 30 seconds.

Surprisingly given the KO ratios, Abrahante stayed aggressive in the second and was effective both from long range with a jab and in close when he pressed the action. Orozco, accustomed to short fights, is perhaps concerned about conserving the gas tank or perhaps Abrahante simply isn't providing the openings he's used to seeing.

Orozco began pressing the action a little more in the third, but it became obvious why he may not have done it earlier, given the ease with which Abrahante countered and exploited openings as he approached.

It's too early to say the unbeaten record is in jeopardy, but Orozco is already in a 3-0/30-27 hole on the B/R card.

Fight Start: Orozco v Abrahante

It's a small-time belt, but the third bout of the night—between Miami-based Nicaraguan export Jordon Orozco and Cuban native Yusniel Abrahante—is set for 12 rounds for the WBA's dubious "continental gold" belt at bantamweight.

Orozco has 17 KOs in 17 fights and has gone past four rounds just three times.

Meanwhile, Abrahante is 8-2 with just one KO and arrives as the challenger to Orozco's title. Abrahante has won two straight since his most recent loss and had won five straight prior to that defeat—by eight-round decision—in September 2024.

Fight Result: Layne v King

He went the distance for only the second time in nine fights and saw the seventh and eighth rounds for the first time, but Layne still earned a wide unanimous decision.

He's 9-0 as a pro since 2023.

Two judges matched the B/R card and gave Layne all eight rounds, while one card was a bit closer at 6-2 in rounds and 78-74 on points.

"He just kept coming," Layne said. "He didn't lay down. We knew he was coming to fight. He's a grown man, at the end of the day."

Fight End: Layne v King

Same story in the seventh. King did some work. But Layne's work was more plentiful and more effective. His blows to the body, in fact, were the thudding kind you can hear from across a crowded room. A hard left to the chin had King sagging onto the ropes late in the round and referee Massimo Montanini leaned in for a closer look before the bell rang.

King's best stretch of the fight came early in the eighth when his quick start included shots that sent sweat spraying off Layne's head near the favorite's corner. But the momentum again turned back in Layne's favor, and he worked well down the stretch with the right jab and whatever other shots with which he chose to follow.

He never staggered or fell, but King will surely feel the beating over the weekend alongside the sting of what should be a trio of 8-0/80-72 scores.

Six Down, Two to Go: Layne v King

It wasn't a good look for King entering the fourth as Layne, already bigger and seemingly stronger, was also busier and more effective with his shots. The B-side's work rate plunged as Layne fought off the front foot, and both started and finished exchanges.

King tried to bull Layne to the ropes early in the fifth but wasn't busy enough or sharp enough to have it matter as much as his corner wanted it to. Layne was back on the gas pedal, and King was back to circling by the round's back half, with some exception.

King was energetic to start a second straight round in the sixth but quickly burned through his frenetic energy as Layne again took over. King's legs stiffened after he took a hard shot from Layne about two minutes in, and the veteran spent most of the rest of the round covering up as Layne fired.

Not a hard one to score through six—call it 6-0 and 60-54 for Layne.

Three Down, Five to Go: Layne v King

The level of action certainly dipped from the first fight, which prompted some groans from the crowd. In what combat there was, Layne was effective through the initial round with a southpaw jab and controlled distance while King tried to find a way to work inside.

King started the second behind a high guard and flicked punches from long range but did little else in the way of effectiveness. Layne began following the right jab with left hands to the body and head, doing little damage but continuing his visual superiority. King looked increasingly content to work the perimeter and avoid serious impact.

King began letting his hands go to begin the third and did connect with some shots to Layne's head, but they weren't fight-changing in nature. A prolonged Layne flurry halfway through the round backed King to the ropes was the New Yorker's best stretch of the fight to that point. When he let his hands go, it climbed near one-sided in nature.

Three rounds in and it'd be hard to see anything other than 3-0 for Layne.

Fight Start: Layne v King

We'll climb 42 pounds up the scale to super middleweight for the second main bout, which matches 8-0 New York export Donte Layne with 13-fight veteran Keithland King (11-2) of nearby New Jersey.

Layne, a southpaw, has seven KOs in his eight wins, while the well-traveled King, who's fought in the Virgin Islands, Guyana, Colombia, Hungary and Barbados in addition to the U.S., has won six straight since his last loss in 2024.

Fight Result: Nieves v Hernandez

It was a good night for the visiting fighter, Hernandez, who indeed did walk away with a majority decision after two judges saw it like B/R did, 58-56, for the Californian.

They overruled a single card that had it even at 57.

It was the first time past two rounds and a first loss for Nieves, now 4-1.

It's also the biggest pro achievement for the 27-year-old Hernandez, who'd beaten four previous opponents with a combined 3-4-1 record.

Fight End: Nieves v Hernandez

Nieves seemed more anxious to get going in the fourth, but Hernandez stood his ground and replied effectively. Though not as flashy as Nieves, Hernandez's blows were straighter and landed better both individually and in combinations. Nieves finished the fourth well, however, with a series of hard blows to Hernandez's body that may have stolen the round.

Nieves began the fifth in stalking mode and looked like a different fighter than just a couple rounds earlier, initiating exchanges and appearing confident. He was still being clipped with Hernandez's more precise shots, though, and Hernandez was the busier fighter late.

Each man appeared to believe he needed the final round to win and the sixth began with flurries by both fighters. Hernandez jolted Nieves with a one-two combination about 45 seconds in, then landed another about 30 seconds later. Nieves, curiously, let his work rate slide back to levels from early in the fight. He did land a hard left at the 2-minute mark but was unable to follow it up as Hernandez scored well late in the session.

It's a 4-2 win in rounds, or 58-56 on points, for Hernandez on the B/R card.

Three Down, Three to Go: Nieves v Hernandez

Nieves was smaller than his featherweight counterpart but was aggressive with counterpunches and clearly the faster man in the early going. Still, Hernandez scored with the first telling blow, a left hand, and rattled the A-side fighter with about a minute left.

The pace slowed in the second as Hernandez began to establish tempo and distance with a left jab and follow-up flurries. He clipped Nieves again as the Puerto Rican leapt in with a power shot about halfway through the round.

Hernandez, who's trained with some high-profile fighters, looked very comfortable with the proceedings as the third began. Nieves was still doing more missing than hitting with his wide swings while trying to initiate exchanges, but it was his most effective stretch.

Call it 2-1 for Hernandez through three on the B/R card.

Fight Start: Nieves v Hernandez

Both fighters have gone 4-for-4 as professionals, combining for seven KOs and working a total of 13 rounds.

Nieves is a 20-year-old from Puerto Rico who won by first-round KO in the Orlando venue at the end of August. Hernandez, meanwhile, is 27, from California, and is making his first business trip east of the Mississippi.
