Aston Palicte (R) won a 10-round split decision over “Lil”” Oscar Cantu |
LAS VEGAS (Դեկտեմբեր 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 Կենտրոն Las Vegas Events կենտրոն indoor facility.
The “Knockout Night at the D” շարք, presented by որ D Las Vegasand 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 CBS Sports Network 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 Նոկաուտով) pressed the action as the clear aggressor, but Cantu stood in the pocket, էլ, as the technician used his defensive skills to make things difficult for his world rated Filipino opponent.
Վերջ ի վերջո, it all came down to the 10րդ կլոր, 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, գնահատվել Ոչ. 11 by the International Boxing Federation (IBF) եւ ոչ. 15 Համաշխարհային բռնցքամարտի կազմակերպության (WBO վարկածով), took Cantu’s North American Boxing Federation (NABF) title belt in addition to capturing the vacant WBO Inter-Continental strap.
Cantu, ով գնահատվել ոչ. 4 as a flyweight by the World Boxing Council (WBC), showed tremendous heart, granite chin and the ability to move extremely well, throwing punches from every conceivable angle. The difference, սակայն, proved to be Palicte’s slugging ability in this classic confrontation in which the puncher barely prevailed against the boxer.
Ի co-հնարավորությունը, Jamaican junior middleweight Nathaniel “No Problem” Gallimore(16-1-1, 13 Նոկաուտով) scored a spectacular first-round knockout of previously unbeaten Angelo “Bombardero” Baez (15-1-1, 11 Նոկաուտով), 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 հաշվել.
Galiimore (pictured above in green), who fights out of Chicago, dedicated the fight to his stablemate, ուշ 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 Նոկաուտով) kept his undefeated record intact against previously unbeaten Mexican fighter Dilan “El Tremendo” Loza(5-1, 3 Նոկաուտով) in the television opener. Rodriguez, 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. Մրցավար Jay Nady halted the bout after the third round.

“Որոնց մեծ մասը,,” Rodriguez said, “he didn’t do anything different. I thought I controlled the fight with my jab. My boy, Առյուծ (Santa Cruz, friends from LA), was a world champion and I want to get to his level.”
In a battle of unbeaten welterweight prospects, հայրենի քաղաքը սիրած Jeremy “J-Flash” Nichols (7-0-1, 2 Նոկաուտով) and San Diego’s Kevin “KO” Ottley (3-0-1) fought to a 6-round draw.
