פילאדעלפיע, פּען. / ORANGE, קאַליף. (יולי 2, 2018) – Fast rising featherweight Ruben Villa (12-0, 5 קאָס) used an explosive sixth round to knock out ריקאַרדאָ לאָפּעז (7-3-2, 6 קאָס) אין די “ניו בלוט”main event Saturday night from Omega Products International in Sacramento, קאַליף.
Villa, a southpaw fighting out of Salinas, קאַליף., 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 צייכן.
“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.”
