Power Slap 21 Results: Ellie Dempster Makes History, Quinones and Young Retain Championships
LAS VEGAS — History was made Friday night inside The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan as Power Slap 21 delivered a championship tripleheader worthy of the spotlight. Ellie “Belly” Dempster became the inaugural Women’s Flyweight Champion, while reigning champions Isaih Quinones and Cole Young successfully defended their titles in a night filled with dramatic knockouts, memorable performances, and career-defining moments.
Ellie Dempster Claims Historic First Women’s Flyweight Championship
The biggest moment of the evening belonged to Ellie Dempster, who became the first-ever Power Slap Women’s Flyweight Champion with a 49-46 unanimous decision victory over Zoe Dubois.
The championship contest saw both women exchange heavy blows over five competitive rounds. Dempster consistently landed the cleaner and more technically efficient strikes, while Dubois showcased her toughness by repeatedly answering back. A pivotal turning point came when Dubois was assessed a one-point deduction for clubbing, creating the separation on the scorecards.
After five rounds, all of Dempster’s work paid off as she earned a 49-45 victory to cement her place in Power Slap history.
Quinones Delivers Statement Knockout in Middleweight Title Defense
Middleweight champion Isaih Quinones reminded everyone why he reigns over the division with an emphatic third-round knockout of No. 2-ranked contender Stunt Marshall.
Quinones immediately established his power by staggering Marshall with the opening slap of the match. Although Marshall landed solid shots throughout the contest, he was never able to inflict the same level of damage as the champion.
The finish was as dramatic as it was devastating. Quinones connected with a crushing third-round slap that produced a delayed reaction as Marshall’s head tilted to the left before his legs gave way, sending him crashing to the canvas. It was another highlight-reel finish and a statement title defense for the reigning champion.
Cole Young Overcomes Early Knockdown to Retain Welterweight Crown
Welterweight champion Cole Young successfully defended his title with a unanimous 47-44 decision over Brandon Rhodes in a contest heavily influenced by Rhodes’ repeated fouls.
Rhodes made an explosive start, knocking Young down with his opening strike. However, his momentum quickly unraveled after receiving a warning for flinching in the opening round before being deducted a point in the second.
Young responded by scoring a knockdown of his own with his third slap, evening the contest. Rhodes continued to struggle with flinching, eventually losing another point after a third violation.
Young punctuated his championship performance with a powerful fifth strike that forced Rhodes backward and secured a unanimous decision on all three judges’ scorecards.
Wes Mena Continues Heavyweight Rise
Heavyweight contender Wes Mena produced one of the night’s most impressive finishes, stopping fifth-ranked Johnny Magna by second-round knockout.
Mena dropped Magna in the opening round before delivering the finishing blow in the second, further strengthening his case as one of the division’s rising contenders.
Amanpreet Singh Stuns Jake Hager
One of the night’s biggest surprises came when Amanpreet Singh rallied from an early knockdown to score a spectacular knockout victory over former WWE star Jake Hager.
Hager appeared firmly in control after dropping Singh with his opening strike, forcing him to beat the eight-count. Singh struggled to make an impact through his first two attempts before producing one of the most dramatic finishes of the evening.
His third slap landed flush, instantly flattening Hager and completing a remarkable comeback victory.
Crazy Hawaiian Scores Violent Finish
The light heavyweight division delivered another unforgettable knockout as Crazy Hawaiian stopped Vernon “The Mechanic” Cathey in the second round.
The thunderous finish was among the most brutal knockouts of the evening and served as another reminder of the devastating power possessed by the third-ranked contender.
Other Notable Results
Hunter Hassanin’s matchup took a turn immediately after he committed a foul on his opening strike, allowing Ke’Ali’I “The Chief” Kanekoa to capitalize and secure the victory.
Bryan Scambler’s contest against Anthony DeFrank ended under unusual circumstances. After Scambler was penalized for flinching and DeFrank hyperextended his right arm, the bout concluded when DeFrank refused to continue receiving strikes, resulting in a disqualification.
