Jose Quezada KO 2 over Jamar Saunders – Lightweights
Jose Quezada KO 2 over Jamar Saunders – Lightweights
Quezada’s record is 5-0, 4KO’s. So far he looks like the real
deal. Tons of pressure, but more
importantly, very technical. This
fight ended in the second round with a flurry of . . . body shots. That’s right. Body shots.
Saunders was counted out in the 2nd round after being
dropped.
Eddie Ramirez TKO 5 over Jerome Rodriguez - Jr. Welterweights
Good body work by Ramirez in the 2nd. Putting Rodriguez against the ropes and
holding him there while teeing off to the body. Ramirez has a great work rate and is overwhelming Rodriguez
early in the fight. Rodriguez is
going to have to figure out a way to keep Ramirez at bay if he wants to win
this fight. This fight was brought to an end in the 5th when Ramirez caught Rodriguez with a stiff uppercut against the ropes and put him down. Rodriguez beat the count but the fight was waived off.
Keith Tapia KO 1 over Jason Smith - Cruiserweights
Keith Tapia made short work of Jason Smith knocking
him down a couple of times in the first round. The second knockdown put him out for good. Tapia looked good, very tight crisp shots.
Alex Martin UD 8 over Jonathan Garcia - Welterweights
Martin with the cleaner shots so far in the
fight. Garcia is definitely the
aggressor in the fight, however he is largely being ineffective. Martin landing anything he wants at
this point. Martin is boxing well,
but he seems to lack any power on his shots. Round 4 – Garcia is landing some really big body shots and
trying to slow the quicker Martin down.
Garcia continues to eat a lot of shots. The tide seems to be turning a bit here in the 5th. Garcia starting to land the harder,
cleaner shots. Martin starting to
sharpen up in the 6th landing hard shots to Garcia’s head. Garcia seems to be chasing now. More of the same in the final 2
rounds. Ringside Reporter had it
scored 78-74 for Martin. 79-73,
80-72 2x – for Martin
Ramiro Carillo TKO 2 over Ramon Guevara - Welterweights
Good body work by Carillo in
the first round. A straight left floored
Guevara in the 2nd, but he was able to get out of the round. 2nd Round Carillo came out
with big shots and was able to knock Guevara down twice. I don’t think Guevara ever really
recovered from the knockdown in round 1.
The end came with a flurry of shots on the ropes, the referee stepped in
to stop the fight as Guevara fell to his knees.
Semajay Thomas TKO 2 over Jose Santiago - Welterweights
Thomas very aggressive and
got tagged by a huge counter left hand that put him on the canvas at the end of
round 1. Thomas seemingly unfazed
by the knockdown comes out aggressive again, this time catches Santiago with a
monster right hand followed by a left.
Santiago beats the count, but decides not to continue and the ref waived
it off.
Rickey Edwards UD 6 over Shiwone Gortman - Jr. Welterweights
Edwards the aggressor in the fight working off the jab. There was a questionable knockdown in
round 2 when Rickey Edwards landed a short overhand shot on Gortman that
appeared to push him forward. It
was counted a knock down nonetheless.
Third round, Edwards seems to be swinging wildly trying to get Gortman
out of there. He is landing some
shots and appears to be hurting Gortman. Gortman needs to put something together if he hopes to
get back in this fight. Round 4 – Gortman is catching Edwards a couple of times
with left hooks, sweeping left hooks.
No damage really being done, but if he could sit down a little more, it
may make a difference. Another
round for Edwards. More of the
same in Round 5. Edwards landed
some hard crisp shots. Gortman
showing a lot of heart in this one.
Edwards content to stick and move in this round. Gortman for the first time in the fight
is coming forward, but still doesn’t appear to be winning the round. Ringside Reporter has the fight 60-53 for Edwards. All 3 judges scored the fight 60-53 for Edwards.
Maciel Sulecki TKO 2 over Darryl Cunningham
Artur Szpilka TKO 2 over Ty Cobb
