Aston Palicte (Р) won a 10-round split decision over “Лил '”” Oscar Cantu |
ЛАС ВЕГАС (Децембар 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 Довнтовн Лас Вегас Евентс Центер indoor facility.
The “Knockout Night at the D” серија, presented by Д Лас Вегасand 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 ЦБС Спортс Нетворк 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 КОс) pressed the action as the clear aggressor, but Cantu stood in the pocket, сувише, as the technician used his defensive skills to make things difficult for his world rated Filipino opponent.
На крају, it all came down to the 10тх круг, 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, оцијенио Нема. 11 by the International Boxing Federation (ИБФ) и не. 15 Светска боксерске организације (ВБО), took Cantu’s North American Boxing Federation (НАБФ) title belt in addition to capturing the vacant WBO Inter-Continental strap.
Cantu, који је оцијенио Не. 4 as a flyweight by the World Boxing Council (ВБЦ), showed tremendous heart, granite chin and the ability to move extremely well, throwing punches from every conceivable angle. The difference, међутим, proved to be Palicte’s slugging ability in this classic confrontation in which the puncher barely prevailed against the boxer.
У сарадњи функцију, Jamaican junior middleweight Nathaniel “No Problem” Gallimore(16-1-1, 13 КОс) scored a spectacular first-round knockout of previously unbeaten Angelo “Bombardero” Baez (15-1-1, 11 КОс), 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, покојни 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 КОс) kept his undefeated record intact against previously unbeaten Mexican fighter Dilan “El Tremendo” Loza(5-1, 3 КОс) in the television opener. Родригез, 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. Судија Jay Nady halted the bout after the third round.

“Највећим делом,” Rodriguez said, “he didn’t do anything different. I thought I controlled the fight with my jab. My boy, Лав (Санта Круз, friends from LA), was a world champion and I want to get to his level.”
