Justin Figueroa stopped Luis Caraballo Ramos in the fourth round on Friday night at The Showroom at Tropicana Atlantic City, according to BoxingInsider.com. The middleweight rematch headlined a seven-fight Boxing Insider Promotions card that produced four stoppages and one upset.

Before the event, Play New Jersey reported that the card remained subject to final approval from the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board and its doctors. Promoter Larry Goldberg said the show had been fined after licensing and medical paperwork was submitted late.

Figueroa wins, Di Stefano shocks

Figueroa (15-0, 12 KOs), nicknamed Mr. Atlantic City, controlled the scheduled eight-rounder with his jab. Caraballo Ramos (8-11-1, 8 KOs), of Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico, stayed aggressive but was put down by a body shot early in the fourth and was dropped twice more before the referee stopped it.

Salvatore Di Stefano (5-2, 2 KOs), of Palermo, Sicily, won a majority decision over Koby Khalil Williams (8-2, 6 KOs), of Brooklyn, in what BoxingInsider.com called the upset of the night. Iman Lee (16-0-1, 9 KOs), of Yonkers, New York, stopped Dannis Aguero Arias in the sixth round on his Atlantic City debut.

John Leonardo stopped Kevin Nunez in the third round, and Julio Sanchez III stopped Skyler Bray in the second. JJ Alvarez won a one-sided decision over Larry Fryers, and George Arias opened the show with a unanimous decision over Joe Jones.

The promoter's account

Goldberg acknowledged that paperwork due earlier was not filed on time. He said the commission had been more accommodating than it needed to be, and that the show was fined.

He added that all seven proposed fights were submitted to the athletic board and its doctors, and that the system protecting fighters' health and safety worked as intended.

We had a great night of boxing, maybe one of our best shows.

Goldberg said that after the card.

The sources do not say when final approval was granted.

Background

Figueroa and Caraballo Ramos first met in March in the same ring, a fight that ended in a no contest. Afterwards Figueroa said: "I'd like to take this chance to apologize to absolutely nobody."

The show was the promotion's 22nd professional event and its last of 2026. It streamed free on the Boxing Insider YouTube channel. No future dates were given in the sources.
