PHILADELPHIA, ಪೆನ್. / ORANGE, ಕ್ಯಾಲಿಫೋರ್ನಿಯಾ. (ಜುಲೈ 2, 2018) – Fast rising featherweight Ruben Villa (12-0, 5 ಕಾಸ್) used an explosive sixth round to knock out ರಿಕಾರ್ಡೊ ಲೋಪೆಜ್ (7-3-2, 6 ಕಾಸ್) ರಲ್ಲಿ “ನ್ಯೂ ಬ್ಲಡ್”main event Saturday night from Omega Products International in Sacramento, ಕ್ಯಾಲಿಫೋರ್ನಿಯಾ.

 

 

 

Villa, a southpaw fighting out of Salinas, ಕ್ಯಾಲಿಫೋರ್ನಿಯಾ., showed off his superior skill set to a sold out crowd that witnessed a devastating knockout win.

 

 

 

Throughout the fight, 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 ಮಾರ್ಕ್.

 

 

 

“I was landing solid punches in every round,” remarked Villa, who is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing. “I knew I would be able to take him out. 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.”
