Gamebred Boxing 4 Results: Jose Aldo vs. Jeremy Stephens and other fight outcomes
Jorge Masvidal's Gamebred Boxing returned last night with a highly anticipated card involving former UFC stars such as Jose Aldo, Jeremy Stephens, and Anthony Pettis.
Jose Aldo looked to be the aggressor from the first bell and it was clear that Jeremy was struggling to keep up with the Brazilian's speed and power. While Stephens did not look as polished as his opponent, he didn't back down from exchanging a flurry of punches and stood in the pocket, inviting the former UFC champion into war.
The best moment for Jeremy Stephens came in the fourth round of the fight when he started to march forward, seemingly controlling the pace of the fight and also tagging Jose Aldo a number of times in the process.

Overall, the fight was very close and despite looking like a better fighter, Aldo was unable to get the judges' nod and the fight ended as a majority draw (58-56, 57-57, and 57-57).
Former UFC title contender Vitor Belfort was also on the card as he took on Ronaldo Souza. Belfort found his feet in the fight from the first bell and was dominant for the majority of the fight. He also scored two knockdowns during the bout, however, after failing to stop Souza, the former UFC star won the bout via unanimous decision (58-54, 58-54, and 57-55).
In the main-event of the night, Anthony Pettis went up against boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. in a bout that proved to be a huge upset. The fight was close overall, however, due to being much more active inside the squared circle, Pettis got the judges' nod and earned a majority decision victory over the former heavyweight champion (76-76, 77-75, and 78-74).
Anthony Pettis the more aggressive fighter in round 1.
