Jahyae Brown and Anthony Vieira fought to a split draw in their eight-round super welterweight headliner at Fenway Park on Saturday, June 6, 2026. The main event of “Fight Night at Fenway: Round 2” left the judges divided, with scorecards of 77-75 for Brown, 80-72 for Vieira, and an even 76-76.
The result allows Brown to retain his WBC USA Silver super welterweight title while keeping Vieira’s undefeated professional record intact.
The contest took place in the “Big Concourse” of the historic Boston stadium, featured as the centerpiece of a card promoted by Matt Nolan of Nolan Bros Boxing. Anthony Vieira, an unbeaten southpaw, utilized constant pressure to force the pace from the opening bell.
Jahyae Brown, who entered the ring with a 19-2 record, found himself on the defensive early but managed to rally in the middle rounds with precise counter-punching.
The tactical battle saw Vieira outworking Brown in the early stages before the champion adjusted to the timing of the southpaw. By the final rounds, the bout remained competitive, with Vieira finishing strongly while Brown continued to land effective counters. The wide 80-72 scorecard for Vieira contrasted sharply with the other two totals, reflecting the varied interpretations of the high-volume aggression versus precise punching.
Shea Willcox and Cassius Chaney secure stoppage wins
In the co-feature, Shea “Showtime” Willcox moved to 8-0 with a one-sided six-round unanimous decision over Salvatore Pugliares. Willcox dominated the lightweight encounter from the start, scoring three knockdowns in total. Two of those knockdowns occurred during the fourth round as Pugliares struggled to evade the unbeaten prospect’s offense. All three judges scored the bout 60-51.
Heavyweight Cassius Chaney also returned to the win column with a decisive third-round stoppage of Harold Roy. Chaney established control through the first two rounds before hurting Roy with a right uppercut midway through the third. After the initial knockdown, Chaney followed up with a left uppercut that sent Roy down again, leading the referee to immediately wave off the contest.
These results highlight the momentum shift often seen in professional bouts, where one clean shot can end an evening. Fans of the sport often analyze these tactical shifts with the same intensity seen when fans roast Shakur Stevenson for his defensive maneuvers or social media posts. The Fenway card provided a clear display of both technical boxing and raw power across different weight classes.

Implications for the super welterweight championship
Because the main event resulted in a split draw, Jahyae Brown leaves Boston as the WBC USA Silver super welterweight champion. The 76-76 scorecard proved to be the deciding factor in the stalemate, as neither man could secure the majority of the rounds across all three cards. Anthony Vieira moves his record to 11-0-1, remaining a significant threat in the 154-pound division.
The “Fight Night at Fenway” series has established a foothold in the New England sports calendar. Following the success of this second installment, promoter Matt Nolan has bolstered the local scene by utilizing one of the most famous venues in American sports. There is no confirmation yet on a potential rematch between Brown and Vieira to settle the score.
For Brown, the draw represents a missed opportunity to catapult into the world title conversation. However, his ability to rally in the middle rounds against a difficult southpaw like Vieira showcased the resilience expected of a champion. As the season progresses, both fighters will look to maintain their momentum and potentially headline future DAZN broadcasts in the United States.
