Butterfly Brawl 3: Spectacular night at the Santa Monica Pier

Professional boxing made a triumphant return to the California coast with Butterfly Brawl 3, an event presented by FightBook and promoted by Bash Boxing.

Set against the iconic backdrop of the Santa Monica Pier, lightweight prospect Jalan Walker headlined a stacked evening filled with knockouts and upsets.

Beyond the action inside the ring, the event stayed true to its charitable mission: 100% of net proceeds from ticket sales and sponsorships will benefit Teen Cancer America, directly supporting their fight against cancer in teens and young adults.

Jalan Walker Dominates Main Event

In the 10-round main event, Los Angeles lightweight Jalan Walker (17-1-1, 11 KOs) displayed crisp hand speed, precise combinations, and sharp ring generalship to earn a unanimous decision victory over durable Nicaraguan veteran Alexander Espinoza (24-10-3, 8 KOs), who pushed Walker the full distance.
