Marty Shuler launched his promotional company (Marvin Shuler Promotions LLC) Saturday night at the Showboat Hotel in Atlantic City. The five-bout card featured Shuler Gym junior lightweight Antonio DuBose in the main event against Julio Buitrago of Nicaragua. The scheduled eight rounder ended at 51 seconds into round five. This was Tony's third fight of 2019 and his first since May. The TKO victory improved DuBose's record to 12-2-1, 3 KOs. Journeyman Buitrago lost for the third straight time and slid to 13-21, 3 KOs.

Bronx, NY welterweight Dezmond Lucas, 1-0, made a successful pro debut with a four-round unanimous decision over Detroit's Kaywann Sistrunk, 0-3-1.

Swedish-born, Vegas-based, cruiserweight Robin Sirwan Safar, 10-0, 7 KO, scored a quick TKO over Quintell Thompson, Columbia, MS, 4-9-1, 4 KO, in their scheduled six round fight. Safar wasted no time, dropping Thompson once in round one and stopping him moments later. The fight ended after just 2:21.

The six-round junior welterweight bout between Jan Carlos Rivera, Philadelphia, via Vieques, PR, and Stephen Derstine of Fulton, MS, ended in the first round after an accidental head butt opened a cut on Derstine's forehead. After the ringside physician examined the cut, the fight was stopped by referee David Franciosi and the bout was called a No Decision. It was the first time in his career that Rivera, 4-0, 4 KO, 1 ND did not win by knockout. Derstine went home 6-8, 4 KO, 1 ND.

The show opened with a four round draw between junior middleweights Saleem Kelly, Cliffwood, NJ, 3-0-1, 2 KO, and Antonio Hernandez of Kansas City, KS, 2-10-1.

Marty Shuler plans to return to the Showboat for his second promotion in January 2020.

Philly Boxing History did not have a reporter at these fights, but photographer Jano Cohen captured all the action.
