Valenzuela Won Clearly as Kalajdzic Rallied at Zuffa Boxing

Jose Valenzuela defeated Diego Torres by unanimous decision in the main event of Zuffa Boxing 02 on February 1, 2026, at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas. All three judges returned 99–91 after ten rounds of lightweight competition.

Valenzuela recovered from early difficulty

Torres began aggressively and created problems before Valenzuela established his rhythm. A cut required attention, but the former super lightweight champion continued and increasingly controlled the exchanges as the fight progressed.

Valenzuela’s jab, straight punches and movement became more effective during the second half. The wide scorecards reflected his ability to maintain that advantage through the full scheduled distance.

Bohachuk edged Butaev while Kalajdzic changed the script

Serhii Bohachuk defeated Radzhab Butaev by split decision, with scores of 96–94, 96–94 and 94–96. Their competitive middleweight meeting supplied a much narrower verdict than the headliner.

Radivoje Kalajdzic recovered from two knockdowns to stop Oleksandr Gvozdyk at 2:47 of round seven. The comeback overturned a fight that had initially favored the former light heavyweight champion.

The undercard combined close cards with early finishes

Jalil Hackett beat Roberto Cruz by majority decision. Justin Viloria defeated Oscar Perez unanimously, and Damoni Cato-Cain also earned a unanimous result against Christian Morales.

Da’Mazion Vanhouter stopped Julian Gomez in round three, while Jamar Talley finished Devonte Williams in the second. The eight-fight program therefore included sustained boxing, a split decision and a dramatic main-card reversal alongside its clearer headline result.
