Jairzinho Rozenstruik Earns Explosive KO at Dirty Boxing 2, Sets Up Title Clash With Rob Perez

Dirty Boxing 2 delivered a night full of hard-hitting action, showcasing former UFC talent and thrilling finishes. Headlining the event was heavyweight slugger Jairzinho Rozenstruik, who made a powerful statement by stopping Victor Cardoso in the second round. With that emphatic knockout, Rozenstruik now moves on to fight Rob Perez for the promotion’s first-ever heavyweight championship. Perez punched his ticket to the title bout earlier in the evening with a blistering first-round TKO over Alex Nicholson.

The co-main event featured a heated three-round battle between UFC veterans Alex Caceres and Saidyokub Kakhramonov. After a tense buildup during fight week, the two competitors went toe-to-toe in a closely contested bout. Heading into the final round, the fight was still up for grabs. While Caceres seemed to find his range and rhythm, Kakhramonov turned the tide with a spinning elbow that opened a cut and a series of hard shots that stole the momentum and the round.

Kakhramonov took home a unanimous decision victory, proving his grit and ability to deliver under pressure.

Jessica-Rose Clark, another UFC alum, returned to the win column with a clean sweep on the judges’ scorecards, defeating Marilia Morais by unanimous decision (30-27 x3). Clark’s striking and pressure were too much for Morais across three rounds.

Elsewhere on the card, Sasha Palatnikov earned a win over Phil Hawes, though it came via disqualification due to repeated eye pokes in the opening round. It was an anticlimactic ending to a fight that had the potential for fireworks.

On the preliminary card, Francisco Trinaldo showed his veteran experience with a first-round TKO over Eric Moon, while Sheymon Moraes earned his own stoppage with a second-round finish of Omari Boyd. Also, Lamar Brown edged Boston Salmon by decision, and Milos Janicic secured a hard-fought unanimous decision win against Guilherme Bastos.

The early prelims kicked off with explosive action as Luis Saldana delivered a third-round TKO win over Joe Penafiel, and Peter Stanonik followed with a second-round TKO of John Marquez.

After a full night of bouts that blended high-level technique with raw power, the heavyweight division is now set for its first crowning moment. Jairzinho Rozenstruik’s next challenge is Rob Perez, a showdown that promises fireworks and a definitive answer to who will become Dirty Boxing’s inaugural heavyweight champion.

With the win, Rozenstruik next faces Rob Perez, who knocked out Alex Nicholson earlier in the night, for the promotion’s inaugural heavyweight title.
