PHILADELPHIA, Penn. / ORANGE, Californie. (Juillet 2, 2018) – Fast rising featherweight Villa Ruben (12-0, 5 KOs) used an explosive sixth round to knock out Ricardo Lopez (7-3-2, 6 KOs) dans le “Nouveau sang”main event Saturday night from Omega Products International in Sacramento, Californie.
Villa, a southpaw fighting out of Salinas, Calif., showed off his superior skill set to a sold out crowd that witnessed a devastating knockout win.
Tout au long du combat, Villa used a sharp jab to set up left uppercuts and straight rights. While most boxers use the jab as a range finder, Villa uses it to inflict pain on his opponent either by landing it, or sending an unexpected power shot to the head or body.
The 21-year-old also found success on the defensive side, limiting Lopez to very few clean looks.
The thrill ride came toward the end of the sixth round when a multi-punch combination floored Lopez. The Mexican fighter would get up, but it would prove a poor decision. Villa promptly unloaded power shot after power shot until referee Edward Collantes put a stop to the carnage at the 2:49 marque.
“Je recevais des coups de poing solides à chaque tour,” remarked Villa, qui est promu par bannière et Thompson Boxing. “Je savais que je serais capable de le sortir. I wore him down and in the sixth I just let me hands go and I caught him with a lot of heavy punches. I was surprised he got up. He was a tough guy.”
