Pantera Guerrero tops Jarod Grant in wild BKB Biloxi main event
BILOXI, MISSISSIPPI (October 23, 2026) – BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing in partnership with Bally’s Corporation, put on another great night of fights at Bally’s Fightnight by BKB, which took place at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi.
The fans in Biloxi were treated to a thrilling main event, as Pantera Guerrero (2-1, 1 KO) scored the biggest win of his bare knuckle boxing career, defeating former BKB Lightweight World Champion Jarod “Kid Gatti” Grant (8-4, 6 KOs) by unanimous decision. The two super lightweight sluggers traded knockdowns in an action-packed five-round battle, but Guerrero ultimately outworked Grant to secure the biggest victory of his career against one of the sport’s most decorated fighters.
In the middleweight co-main event, Rowdy Montgomery (3-0, 1 KO) scored a massive upset by defeating two-division world champion and reigning BKB Light Heavyweight World Champion Cub “The Savage” Hawkins (10-2, 9 KOs) by unanimous decision. In an instant classic, Montgomery and Hawkins went back-and-forth for all five rounds. Montgomery looked to be seconds away from a stoppage win after scoring a knockdown in the fourth round, but Hawkins responded with a knockdown of his own in the final seconds of the fight. In the end, it was Montgomery who did enough on the judges’ scorecards to earn the biggest win of his young career.
Knockout artist Brandon “The Shredder” Shavers (6-1, 6 KOs) needed just 10 seconds to dispatch German Ramos (1-1, 1 KO). Shavers unleashed a series of powerful uppercuts in the clinch, forcing Ramos backward before dropping him to the canvas to secure a lightning-fast knockout victory.
Claudia “Phoenix” Zamora (2-0, 2 KOs) handed former BKB Lightweight World Champion Monica “Phenomamom” Medina (3-5) a second-round TKO defeat in what marked a bitter end to the women’s bare knuckle boxing pioneer’s career. After weathering a strong opening round from Medina, Zamora turned up the pressure in the second, unleashing a vicious flurry to secure the stoppage victory.
Jeff Denton (3-0, 3 KOs) continued his winning ways with a second-round TKO victory over Cody “Jenks” Jenkins (2-7, 2 KOs) in their super welterweight showdown. Denton scored a knockdown early in the opening round and kept the pressure on Jenkins before dropping him again in the second to secure the stoppage.
Cody “Freight Train” East (3-1, 3 KOs) spoiled the retirement fight of “Hurricane” Ike Villanueva (5-4, 4 KOs) by sending the former BKB Heavyweight World Champion off with a TKO loss in the first round of their bridgerweight contest. East rocked Villanueva with a right hand and finished things off with vicious uppercuts in the clinch.
In a cruiserweight clash, Terrell “Rocket” Glynn (1-0, 1 KO) made a successful BKB debut, scoring a second-round knockout victory over Dillon “The Dog” Winemiller (2-3, 2 KOs). Glynn dropped Winemiller with a solid straight right, but Winemiller managed to get back to his feet. After being examined by the ringside doctor, however, Winemiller was ruled unable to continue, handing Glynn the stoppage win.
In a light heavyweight bout, Doug Freeman (2-0, 2 KOs) put his left hooks to good use as he battered Adam Nash (1-1, 1 KO) en route to a second-round TKO. Freeman picked Nash apart before dropping him with a stiff straight left in round two. A still-wobbly Nash barely beat the count, prompting the official to call the match off.
Former BKB World Championship challenger Miranda “She-Hulk” Barber (3-3, 1 KO) returned to the win column with a unanimous decision victory over Aquasha “The Beast” Rapley (0-2). Barber put her experience to good use, outworking the hard-hitting Rapley across all five rounds to earn a convincing win.
Kicking off the night, Jerry “Dutch-Man” Dutchover (1-0, 1 KO) scored a second-round TKO victory over Devin “The Reaper” Wallace (0-1, 1 NC). Dutchover unleashed a barrage of combinations, knocking Wallace down twice in the second round to secure an impressive victory in his BKB debut and first bare knuckle boxing appearance.
