Delante Johnson stops Nicklaus Flaz in Round 4

Delante “Tiger” Johnson halted Nicklaus “La Bestia” Flaz at the RP Funding Center (Jenkins Arena) in Lakeland, Florida, scoring a fourth-round stoppage in the main event of a ProBox TV card on Friday, November 7, 2025. The contest was held at welterweight, and both men weighed 146.8 pounds at the official weigh-in the day before.

The first round unfolded at a measured pace with Johnson controlling distance behind a firm jab and economical footwork. He probed with straight shots and short counters while keeping his lead foot outside and stepping around Flaz after exchanges. Flaz looked to interrupt the rhythm with single jabs and quick right hands, trying to draw Johnson into wider punches, but Johnson’s positioning and blocking limited the success of those attacks. There were a few heavy connections, yet Johnson’s timing allowed him to land the cleaner punches and set the tone.

In the second, Johnson began to punctuate the jab with a fast backhand down the centre. He mixed in short hooks to the body when Flaz overcommitted, then reset to mid-range before the counters could come back. Flaz responded with sporadic counters when Johnson lingered, catching him with a right over the jab and a left hook as the American exited on a straight line. Johnson adjusted by finishing combinations with a pivot and re-established command of the rhythm late in the round.

The third round showed a gradual increase in Johnson’s tempo. He doubled the jab, stepped to his left to take away Flaz’s right hand, and began to string two and three-punch sequences that ended upstairs. Flaz fired back in spots, turning to his own jab and trying to time Johnson’s entry with a right uppercut, but Johnson’s head movement on the approach and a disciplined high guard blunted the replies. By the bell, Johnson’s body work and sharper accuracy had opened a bigger lead.

The fourth provided the conclusion. Johnson pressed behind combinations, starting with body shots and finishing with straight punches to the head. Sustained pressure drew Flaz into exchanges he could no longer manage on even terms. As the clock wound down, Johnson’s clean, unanswered punches forced a break in Flaz’s shape, and the referee intervened at the bell with the time recorded as 3:00 of Round 4. No scorecards were required. The bout had been scheduled for ten rounds at 147 pounds, and Johnson’s inside-the-distance finish capped a card that also featured a notable co-main event in which Japan’s Katsuma Akitsugi won by seventh-round TKO of Filipino, Vincent Astrolabio.
