From Santa Ynez, CA., at the Chumash Casino Resort, Gary Shaw Productions in association with Thompson Boxing and Showtime, presented “ShoBox” The Next Generation. In the 12-round Jr. welterweight main event, Roger Mayweather trained Tim Coleman (18-1-1, 5KOs), made the best of his Showtime opportunity knocking out Venezuelan Patrick Lopez (20-3, 12KOs), in the 3rd round showing he has power despite only having five kayo’s.
The fighters, both of whom are ranked, came out pawing with their jabs measuring each other with their respective power hands cocked and ready to fire. Coleman, who hails from Baltimore, Maryland., was attacking the body early with right hooks while Lopez was concentrating on the head, counter punching Coleman with short right hooks to the chin as he backed out. Coleman and Lopez came out throwing heavy artillery and one minute in Coleman landed two straight rights upstairs as they were in the middle of the ring both in the pocket trading blows. Lopez was looking to land his counter straight and left hook but was just a little off and Coleman was getting the better of the exchanges.
Lopez came out aggressive in the 2nd pushing forward throwing wide left hooks aimed up high and got caught at 2:50 with a big counter right-hand on the chin that sent Patrick to the canvas for the eight-count. When the fighting resumed Coleman landed a big right-uppercut and followed it up moments later with a thudding right hook to the body as the southpaw Lopez backed away. Coleman was in a rhythm and landing several lead rights as you would expect from a Mayweather pupil.
With a minute left in the 2nd Lopez connected with a left-hand bomb to the liver followed by two more that hurt Coleman as his face grimaced and he covered up. Lopez opened up with rights and lefts to the body and got his opponent against the ropes landing a right hook to the body followed by a straight-left to the mouth of Coleman who was retreating across the ring to the adjacent ropes. At :43 seconds Lopez landed a left hook that momentarily staggered Coleman who was against the ropes and trying to counter the barrage of punches coming his way. Lopez then landed another huge left-hand to the ribs that had Coleman against the ropes again and covering up. Coleman fought his way off the ropes and landed a right-left up top followed by a very hard right-hand that snapped back the head of Lopez in a very entertaining round.
When the fighters met in the center of the ring for round three Lopez popped Coleman with a lead left-hand on the nose, as Coleman fired back a right-hand that landed in the chest area sending Lopez flying backwards across the ring and Coleman ran after him 
landing a huge right-hand that caused Lopez to hold on then push Marquez across the ring into the ropes as they began to trade. The fans were boisterous and entertained as the Jr. welterweights were putting on a good main event. Both men were still pawing with their jabs mainly looking to land home-runs with either hand. The pace slowed halfway through the 3rd as both men were understandably a little winded, but at :58 seconds Coleman countered Lopez with a beautiful and devastating right-uppercut that Lopez ducked right into snapping his head back as he crashed forward to the floor on his face. The badly hurt Lopez staggered to his feet and tried to walked around but stumbled across the ring face first into the corner buckle prompting the referee David Mendoza to call off the action at :48 seconds of the 3rd round, giving Tim Coleman a 3rd round knockout in spectacular fashion, improving the Baltimore native to 18-1-1, 5KOs..
In the 8-round lightweight co-main event, 22-year-old prospect Archie Ray Marquez (10-0-1, 7KOs), hailing from Albuquerque, New Mexico., made short work of Denver, Colorado’s., Juan Santiago (13-5-1, 8KOs), finishing him off in the 3rd round by knockout.
Santiago came out of the gates quick throwing big shots up top with both hands and landed a right-hand that buckled the legs of Marquez followed by a crisp left hook to the jaw of Archie Ray. Not to be outdone, Marquez picked up the pace halfway through the round and started landing big left hooks to the head and body as well as stiff right-hands upstairs. Marquez was the only one using the jab as the combatants were going toe-to-toe, neither giving an inch. To finish off the 1st round Archie Ray Marquez landed a thudding right-hand uppercut to the mid section of Santiago’s face.
In the 2nd round both lightweights came out slugging back and forth with rights and lefts and :30 seconds into the round Marquez hit 
Santiago low with a left hook, right to the bread basket as Santiago doubled over in pain and fell to the floor. Without any warnings the third man in the ring Ray Corona took one point from Marquez for the low-blow. When the fight resumed Archie Ray unleashed a twelve punch unanswered flurry of hard rights and lefts up top many of which landed. Santiago valiantly fought back using left hooks to the body and lead rights to the head and was landing at a fair percentage.
The fighters went toe-to-toe for the duration of the 2nd and at :28 seconds Marquez landed a looping overhand right over Santiago’s left arm that caught the Coloradan right on the button staggering him into the ropes. With Santiago against the ropes Archie Ray fired a barrage off vicious rights and lefts that were snapping back the head of Santiago and Ray Corona was watching the action very closely thinking about stopping the fight. With :11 seconds left, and Juan Santiago against the ropes, Marquez landed a bone crushing right-hand on the front of the jaw that crumbled Juan to the floor badly hurt. Santiago somehow made it to his feet on wobbly legs and survived the round.
To begin the 3rd Archie Ray immediately accosted Juan in the center of the ring and blasted him with thunderous lead right that sent Santiago retreating to the ropes still badly hurt. Archie Ray Marquez connected with another flurry of stout rights and lefts to the head with Santiago against the ropes, until referee Ray Corona stepped in halting the action at 2:49 of the 3rd round. Awarding Archie Ray Marquez with a 3rd round knockout in an impressive showing improving the Albuquerque native to 10-0-1, 7KOs.
