LAS VEGAS (ธันวาคม 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 เมืองลาสเวกัสศูนย์จัดงาน indoor facility.
The “Knockout Night at the D” ชุด, presented by D ลาสเวกัand 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 ซีบีเอสสปอร์ตเครือข่าย 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 คอส) pressed the action as the clear aggressor, but Cantu stood in the pocket, เกินไป, as the technician used his defensive skills to make things difficult for his world rated Filipino opponent.
ในที่สุด, it all came down to the 10th รอบ, 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, จัดอันดับไม่มี. 11 โดยสหพันธ์มวยนานาชาติ (กิจการวิเทศธนกิจ) และไม่มี. 15 โดยองค์กรมวยโลก (WBO), took Cantu’s North American Boxing Federation (NABF) title belt in addition to capturing the vacant WBO Inter-Continental strap.
Cantu, ที่ได้รับการจัดอันดับไม่มี. 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, อย่างไรก็ตาม, proved to be Palicte’s slugging ability in this classic confrontation in which the puncher barely prevailed against the boxer.
ในการร่วมคุณลักษณะ, Jamaican junior middleweight Nathaniel “No Problem” Gallimore(16-1-1, 13 คอส) scored a spectacular first-round knockout of previously unbeaten Angelo “Bombardero” Baez (15-1-1, 11 คอส), 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, ช่วงปลายเดือน 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 คอส) kept his undefeated record intact against previously unbeaten Mexican fighter Dilan “El Tremendo” Loza(5-1, 3 คอส) 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. ผู้ตัดสิน Jay Nady halted the bout after the third round.
