Rising Polish boxing sensation, Andrzej Fonfara (13-2-0, 3 Kayos) earned his first professional title belt on Friday by punishing Rockford, IL’s Skylar Thompson (11-4) into submission in the second round of their WBF Intercontinental Super Middleweight title bout at the UIC Pavilion. From the opening bell, Fonfara began unloading heavy bombs to the face and body of the game Thompson. In the second round, Andrzej landed a huge combination, knocking Skylar to the canvas. Thompson beat the count, but when asked by veteran referee John O’Brien if he wished to continue, Thompson failed to respond, forcing the third man in the ring to waive off the fight.

It was a night of solid boxing action Friday at the UIC Pavilion near Chicago’s downtown, where Dominic Pesoli’s 8 Count Productions presented “Windy City Fight Night 2”.

The main event featured local favorite Jaime Sandoval (15-4-1, 12 KOs) who looked to avenge his most recent loss against Juan Carlos Martinez (16-10-1, 7 KOs). The rematch was for the vacant WBF All-Americas lightweight title, but Martinez, once again, scored the upset over Sandoval, despite having big brother, former two-division champion Jesus “El Matador” Chavez in his corner.
