Palomino Defeats Davis to Win BKFC King of the Streets Title
Luis Palomino once again proved why he’s among BKFC’s elite, defeating Howard Davis via unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 48-47) to claim the King of the Streets Championship. The Miami-based champion showcased his superior technique and endurance, outlanding Davis 102 to 96 in significant strikes despite throwing fewer punches overall (163 to Davis’ 198).
Davis, known for his speed and aggressive striking, came into the fight looking to dethrone the veteran, but Palomino’s precision and defense made the difference. The victory improves Palomino’s BKFC record to 10-1, while Davis falls to 7-3-1.
Leonardo Perdomo Continues Knockout Streak
One of the night’s most jaw-dropping moments came courtesy of Leonardo Perdomo, who obliterated Steve Herelius in just 13 seconds with a vicious knockout in the opening round. Perdomo, dubbed “The Cuban Mike Tyson” by Conor McGregor, lived up to the hype with yet another display of explosive power.
This latest knockout further solidifies Perdomo as one of BKFC’s most dangerous strikers, and his name is sure to be in discussions for a high-profile bout moving forward.
