| Aston Palicte (ר) won a 10-round split decision over “ליל”” Oscar Cantu |
לאַס וועגאַס (דעצעמבער 17, 2016) – Tonight’s final round of the 2016 “Knockout Night at the D” series ended in typical style as “Mighty” Aston Palicte won a 10-round split decision over previously undefeated “Lil'” Oscar Cantu in a terrific super flyweight match from start to finish inside the ונטערשטאָט לאַס וועגאַס עווענץ צענטראַל indoor facility.
די “Knockout Night at the D” סעריע, presented by די ד לאַס וועגאַסand Down town Las Vegas Events Center, was promoted by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions. This evening’s seventh and final “Knockout at the D” event in 2016 aired live on קבס ספורט נעטוואָרק and streamed worldwide on FloBoxing.tv
The Palicte vs. Cantu main event, as expected, was a classic match-up of contrasting styles between a dangerous puncher (Palicte) and consummate boxer (Cantu). There was surprising non-stop action from the opening bell. Power punching Palicte (22-2, 18 קאָס) pressed the action as the clear aggressor, but Cantu stood in the pocket, צו, as the technician used his defensive skills to make things difficult for his world rated Filipino opponent.
לעסאָף, it all came down to the 10טה קייַלעכיק, which Palicte swept on all three judges’ scorecards for a hard-fought split decision victory by scores of 98-92, 96-94, 94-96. Palicte, רייטאַד ניט קיין. 11 by the International Boxing Federation (יבף) און ניט קיין. 15 דורך די וועלט באָקסינג אָרגאַניזירונג (וובאָ), took Cantu’s North American Boxing Federation (NABF) title belt in addition to capturing the vacant WBO Inter-Continental strap.
Cantu, וואס איז רייטאַד ניט. 4 as a flyweight by the World Boxing Council (וובק), showed tremendous heart, granite chin and the ability to move extremely well, throwing punches from every conceivable angle. The difference, אָבער, proved to be Palicte’s slugging ability in this classic confrontation in which the puncher barely prevailed against the boxer.
אין די גלויבנס-שטריך, Jamaican junior middleweight Nathaniel “No Problem” Gallimore(16-1-1, 13 קאָס) scored a spectacular first-round knockout of previously unbeaten Angelo “Bombardero” Baez (15-1-1, 11 קאָס), the Chilean junior middleweight champion.
Gallimore hurt Baez midway through the opening round and then closed the show with vicious left to the liver that dropped Baez to his knees. In obvious pain, he was unable to get to his feet before the 10 count.
Galiimore (pictured above in green), who fights out of Chicago, dedicated the fight to his stablemate, די שפּעט Ed Brown (20-0), who was murdered earlier this month. “I saw a tape of him (Baez) and knew he backed up to the ropes,” Gallimore explained the finish. “I practiced that shot in the gym and I’m very happy with the outcome. I told all my teammates back in Chicago that I was dedicating this fight to Ed Brown.”
Los Angeles junior middleweight Flavio Rodriguez (6-0, 5 קאָס) kept his undefeated record intact against previously unbeaten Mexican fighter Dilan “El Tremendo” Loza(5-1, 3 קאָס) in the television opener. ראַדריגעז, who one point during his 4 1/2-year hiatus from the ring weighed 90 pounds more than he entered the ring tonight, won by way of a third-round technical knockout. Loza was hurt by an accidental shot to the base of his head in the third and he was later dropped in the same round by the heavy-handed Rodriguez. שויפעט Jay Nady halted the bout after the third round.

“פֿאַר די רובֿ טייל,” Rodriguez said, “he didn’t do anything different. I thought I controlled the fight with my jab. My boy, לייב (סאַנטאַ קרוז, friends from LA), was a world champion and I want to get to his level.”
In a battle of unbeaten welterweight prospects, כאָומטאַון באַליבט Jeremy “J-Flash” Nichols (7-0-1, 2 קאָס) and San Diego’s קעווין “קאָ” Ottley (3-0-1) fought to a 6-round draw.

RJJ-promoted fighters, junior lightweight ראַנדי “די מאַטאַדאָר” Moreno (8-0, 7 קאָס) און באַנטאַמוועיגהט Max “The Baby-Faced Assassin” Ornelas (7-0, 3 קאָס), were both successfully showcased on the undercard.
Fast moving Moreno won his eighth fight in nine months, סטאָפּפּינג “געלט” Mike Fowler (5-4, 2 קאָס) אין דער פערט קייַלעכיק. Moreno improves each fight, showing incredible poise for a 21-year old boxer, and he legitimately rates as a national prospect to watch.
Moreno (ל) kept rolling
Ornelas dropped Jorge Perez (6-5-1, 3 קאָס) in the second round on his way to a shutout decision over four rounds. The 18-year-old Ornelas recorded the seventh win of his 6-month pro career.
Ornelas (ל) איז איצט 7-0 and only 18 יאר אַלט
Also fighting on the undercard, Texas junior featherweight Jessie “די איין” הערנאַנדעז ימפּרוווד צו 8-1 (6 קאָס) with a 6-round unanimous decision over Sharone “Smoke” פורמאַן (6-2, 2 קאָס).
