КОРОНА, Халиф. - Май 10, 2019 – Undefeated prospect Ruben Villa stayed true to his calm and consistent style, recording a unanimous decision over Luis Alberto Lopez in his first main-event appearance on ShoBox: Новое поколение Friday from Omega Products Events Center in Corona, Халиф.
Судейские карточки зачитывают 98-92, 97-93 и 96-94 in the featherweight bout, although all three ShoBox commentators had Villa winning each round except the 10й круглый, giving the final round to Lopez (17-2, 8 КО) in a fight that saw nearly 1,400 нанесенные удары.
“I give myself a ‘C’ grade,»Сказала Вилла, making his second consecutive ShoBox появление. “He was a tough opponent and had a real awkward style and wasn’t really a boxer. It took me awhile to adjust to him and it was hard not to get frustrated.”
Taken the 10-round distance for the first time in his career, the 22-year-old Villa (16-0, 5 КО) Салинас, Калифорния., took the first two rounds to get used to the top-15 ranked contender Lopez’s awkward style before he began landing heavy body shots to dominate the third round.
В седьмом раунде, Villa out-jabbed Lopez and continued the onslaught of body punches in the ninth round, but was not able to get the knockout against the game Lopez.
“I agreed with the judges’ scorecards,” the two-time National Golden Gloves Amateur Champion Villa said. “I still got the unanimous decision win so I have no problem with that. I can take a whole lot from this fight tonight.”
Lopez was coming off an upset victory over Ray Ximenez in his U.S. debut in February but could not repeat the feat against the highly regarded Villa.
“I hit him with the better shots,Лопес сказал. “I was consistently throwing and landing the power shots while he was just jabbing. Я чувствовал себя хорошо. It’s a complicated to fight a lefty, but I thought I landed the punches that scored.”
В со-функция, undefeated 21-year-old rising prospect Michael Dutchover (13-0, 10 КО) made quick work of late replacement Rosekie Cristobal (15-4, 11 КО) Филиппины, connecting on a right-left combination to Cristobal’s liver that sent him to both knees before being counted out by referee Zachary Young at 1:46 of the first round of a scheduled eight-round super lightweight contest.
В его ShoBox дебют, Датчовер Санта-Фе-Спрингс, Калифорния., by way of Midland, Техас, recorded six body connects among his 11 landed power punches in the fight that lasted just 109 секунд.
“I have to be able to adjust,- сказал Датчовер, a runner-up at the 2016 National Golden Gloves and a bronze medalist in the 2016 Олимпийские отборочные. “I was given a tall lefty on short notice due to the original opponent dropping out. Part of being a professional is being able to adapt. It’s nothing I haven’t seen before. I’ve seen pretty much every style through the amateurs and now during sparring sessions as a pro.”
Dutchover added: “I was patient and waited for the open shots. He wasn’t covering up the body so that was my target. The plan from the beginning was to break him down. I’m just happy I was able to end it early and give the fans something to talk about.”
В первом бою в tripleheader, непобежденный проспект в легчайшем весе Саул Санчес (12-0, 7 КО) recorded an eighth-round knockout against Brandon Benitez (14-2, 6 КО) in an entertaining and all-action fight.
After an even first round, Sanchez and Benitez continued to trade shots over the first three rounds before Benitez’s legs began to betray him and he tired midway through the fourth, slowing the pace of the fight considerably. Санчес, of North Hollywood, Калифорния., landed three huge punches that staggered Benitez as the fourth round came to a close, stoking the undefeated prospect with confidence as the fight reached progressed to the later rounds.
В седьмом раунде, Mexico’s Benitez suffered an injury over his right eye from a Sanchez punch, and referee Raul Caiz Jr. warned Benitez prior to the eight round to protect himself. At the start of the eighth round, a flush right hand by the 21-year-old Sanchez connected cleanly and Caiz Jr. stepped in and stopped the fight after just 18 секунд.
“I felt strong throughout the fight,— сказал Санчес.. “Benitez was tough so I had to be careful and aggressive at the same time. I know I hurt him a handful of times, but I know I can do better. My conditioning was great. I was ready to go the distance.”
Sanchez out-landed the 21-year-old Benitez 145-94 в целом и 123-78 in power connects while landing 42 percent of his power shots to Benitez’s 29 процентов.
“I was responding well in every round,” said Benitez from Queretaro, Мексика. “I don’t know why the referee stopped it. I had a lot more left. I’m just disappointed I wasn’t allowed to finish the fight.”
Middleweight contender and 2018 champion of Претендент champion Brandon Adams was interviewed during Friday’s telecast to discuss his June 29 SHOWTIME ЧЕМПИОНАТ БОКС® showdown with undefeated Jermall Charlo, which was announced earlier on Friday.
“I’m a new face,” Adams told Hall of Famer Steve Farhood. “I’m in the top 10. I’m in the discussion and I think that’s enough to shake everything up. The guy that comes out to nowhere is a great story for boxing.
“I hope I get the best Charlo because I’m bringing the best ‘Cannon.’ I’m very fan friendly and I definitely go for the kill. When I get in the ring I like to entertain myself. I’m very much looking forward to fighting Charlo. It’s going to be exciting.”
