Fighting on short notice, the Vancouver resident defeated Brazil’s Michel Pereira in a unanimous decision in a welterweight bout.
"I dedicated my entire summer for this moment, for all these fans, I worked like a dog," said Cirkunov who improved to 15-5-0. "I came here into enemy territory against a very good, very tough, undefeated opponent," said Jones. "When I walked in I could hear the boos for me and the cheers for him, so there was a little bit of pressure."
In other fights, Louis Smolka of Kapolei, Hawaii, improved to 16-6 with a TKO victory against Ryan MacDonald of North Platte, Neb., in a bantamweight bout. Smolka won the fight with a vicious left hook that dropped MacDonald at 4:43 of the first round.
