Canelo
Gets Decision On Surprisingly Close Scorecards |

In front of a packed house in Las Vegas, Saul “Canelo”
Alvarez (58-2-2, 39 KO’s) and Gennady Golovkin (42-2-1,
37 KO’s) went to war for the third, decisive and
hopefully very last time. To say the luster has
diminished on this rivalry would be an understatement.
Still though, it’s a Las Vegas fight night. The
atmosphere was electric inside the T-Mobile Arena as the
Matchroom promoted show gave us all the bells and

Las Vegas PPV Undercard
Results |
|
By William Trillo @
Ringside
Low Blows and headbutts took center stage in this
foulfest bout between Jesse Rodriguez (16-0, 11 KO’s)
and Israel Gonzalez (28-4-1, 11 KO’s). This one could
have been fought inside a phonebooth as most of the
action took place in close quarters. That probably
explains the headbutt that opened up a cut over the eye
of Gonzalez. Both fighters were guilty of multiple low
blows but only Rodriguez was penalized for going South
of The Equator. As far as the legal action in the ring,
it was Rodriguez who was in control. The Southpaw is
very accurate with his punches and is pretty nimble with
his footwork as well. “Bam” as they call him will be a
very tough test for any of the other Super Flyweight
Champions. Final scores read 118-109, 117-110 in favor
of Rodriguez while another had it even at 114-114. With
the majority decision “Bam” retained his undefeated
record as well as the WBC World Super Flyweight belt.

Early Undercard Results
From Las Vegas |

By William Trillo @
Ringside
For the first four rounds Diego Pacheco (16-0, 13 KO’s)
was surveying the landscape and gauging his distance
against the crafty Enrique Collazo (16-3-1, 11 KO’s).
Once Pacheco zeroed in he set his right hand on a seek
and destroy mission. It wasn’t long before those bombs
hit their mark. At the 2:29 mark of round five Pacheco
clipped Collazo’s chin and that sent the man to the
canvas. Moments later Pacheco was landing at will
leaving the ref no choice but to stop the onslaught.
With the victory Pacheco grabbed the vacant WBC United
States Super Middleweight strap.

Rising Star Ernesto “Tito” Mercado Q & A |
|
By William Trillo
Every once in a while a fighter comes along that
immediately gets your attention. Sometimes it’s the way
he moves in the ring. Other times it’s because he
possesses impressive KO power. In the case of Ernesto
“Tito” Mercado (6-0, 6 KO’s), it’s both. This young
fighter has all the tools to become a top contender.
This Thursday in Costa Mesa California Mercado will once
again display his wares. We were fortunate enough to
catch up with “Tito” to find out more about him and his
plans for what should be a very promising career.

Torres Coldcocks Baez |
|
By Albert Castillo
Photos: William Trillo
From Corona California, Thompson Boxing Promotions put
together a fantastic card this past Saturday night
labeled “The Path to Glory.” Six competitive fights with
two ending in a knockout made for an entertaining
evening of quality boxing.
In the main event of the evening local sensation Ruben
Torres (19-0, 16 KO’s) left the crowd stunned with a
sudden knockout of Venezuela’s Cristian Baez (18-2, 17
KO’s). In the 7th round Torres (19-0, 15 KO’s)
accidently stepped on the foot of Cristian Baez and
knocked him down. Baez quickly jumped to his feet and
complained that it was not a knockdown, but that Torres
had stepped on his foot. Referee Thomas Taylor gave Baez
the ten count. Reminiscent of the Mayweather-Victor
Ortiz fight, Baez extended his glove to Torres as if to
say, “You know you didn’t knock me down” when Torres
unleashed a devastating left that knocked out Baez cold
and he fell back like a redwood tree in the forest.

Hrgovic Wins Heavyweight
Epic To Become Mandatory Challenger For IBF World Title |
|
The Croatian Heavyweight
star Filip Hrgovic (15-0, 12 KOs) had to dig deep and
answer plenty of questions as he ended the undefeated
record of Zhilei Zhang (24-1-1, 19 KOs) to become
mandatory challenger for the IBF World Heavyweight
Title.
It was ‘El Animal’ who started off brightly from the
first bell, looking sharp as he threw out varied jabs to
the head and body of Zhang. Hrgovic comfortably in the
driving seat until his opponent showcased the power he
had become renowned for. There is plenty of debate to
argue whether the shot was to the back of the Croatian’s
head, but Zhang’s shot forced the start of a ten-count.

Regis Prograis: "I've
Climbed
Out Of A Pit For Title Shot" |
|
Regis Prograis says he has
‘clawed his way out of a pit’ to secure another shot at
the world super lightweight title.
The WBC have ordered for Prograis to face Jose Zepeda in
a clash for the vacant crown at 140lbs after Jose
Ramirez pulled out of the fight.
Prograis was the WBA champion in 2019 but says losing
his crown to Josh Taylor, and the subsequent near
three-year wait to secure another world title tilt, has
made him realise he did not “cherish” what he had.
