Carteret Performing Arts Center plays host to an eight‑round 140‑pound showcase on April 27, as Brooklyn knockout artist Kurt Scoby (16‑1, 14 KOs) tops Sunday Afternoon Fights against Texas southpaw Jesús Vásquez Jr. (11‑3, 3 KOs). Scoby rebounded from his lone defeat with back‑to‑back stoppages last winter and enters ranked No. 68 by BoxRec; Vásquez has never been halted and promises to test whether Scoby’s high‑pressure style carries into the later rounds streamed live on DAZN.
The co‑feature is a collision of unbeatens at super‑lightweight. Montreal’s slick‑countering Thomas Blumenfeld (8‑0, 7 KOs) meets Queens brawler Christopher Rodríguez (13‑0‑1, 11 KOs) over eight. With both hovering just inside BoxRec’s top 250, the winner positions himself for a summer step‑up on Rising Star Promotions’ Atlantic City cards.
Welterweight action features Newark prospect Ismail Muhammad (7‑0, 4 KOs) who faces California veteran José Edgardo Perdomo (6‑5, 3 KOs) in a six‑rounder intended to gauge Muhammad’s readiness for regional‑title opposition later this year.
