Daniel Blancas Ends Ritter’s Challenge in the Opening Round
Daniel Blancas knocked out Kwame Ritter at 2:53 of the first round on May 31, 2025, in Las Vegas. Their scheduled six-round contest took place on the Mandalay Bay card headed by Caleb Plant and Armando Reséndiz.
The official record establishes an early finish
The Nevada Athletic Commission records Mike Ortega as referee and lists Blancas at 166 pounds, with Ritter weighing 167.6. The official result confirms that the bout ended before the first three-minute round had been completed.
That rapid conclusion gave Blancas a decisive result on a card with several developing fighters beneath the main broadcast. Ritter had little opportunity to extend the contest into the later stages, and the judges were not required to determine a winner.
A quick result on a varied undercard
Other preliminary bouts followed different patterns. Carl Jammes Martin outpointed Francisco Pedroza Portillo over eight rounds, while Justin Cardona earned a split decision against Elijah Williams. John Easter also completed six rounds in a unanimous-decision win over Andres Martinez.
At the top of the event, Reséndiz defeated Plant by split decision and Jermall Charlo stopped Thomas LaManna in the sixth. Blancas’s assignment was shorter, but its conclusion was among the card’s quickest. The first-round knockout supplied a clear record of his effectiveness on the night, ending a scheduled six-round test with only seconds remaining before the opening bell would have sent the fighters back to their corners.
