Walter Santibanes
Defeats Manuel Flores
Via Unanimous Decision |
|
The pride of the Coachella
Valley, Manuel “Gucci Manny” Flores (15-1, 11 KOs), put
his undefeated record on the line by taking on Walter
Santibanes (12-2, KOs) of Phoenix, AZ, in his first-ever
Golden Boy Fight Night on DAZN headliner. Flores put
himself on display as he aggressively pursued Santibanes
and visibly rocked him in the second round. However,
Santibanes was happy to return with powerful uppercuts
and body shots that challenged the Coachella favorite.
Santibanes continued to show off his strength,
dominating the action in the following rounds,
connecting combinations to the head and body. The
10-round bantamweight fight went the distance, with each
fighter delivering a brave and entertaining performance
to a boisterous crowd at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino.
The judges ruled in favor of Santibanes with scores of
100-90, 99-91, and 99-91, awarding him a victory via
unanimous decision.

"Welcome to Manchester ahead of a huge night of World
Championship boxing this Saturday at Manchester Arena,
live and exclusive in DAZN. The rematch for the WBA
Featherweight Championship of the World between the
champion Mauricio Lara and now the challenger Leigh
Wood. We saw a tremendous fight earlier this year in
Nottingham full on drama. Leigh Wood winning that fight,
to then get stopped and to see Mauricio Lara become
World Champion. We sat in the office and we talked about
what was next – we talked about maybe waiting. There was
no waiting from Leigh Wood. He believed he can win this
fight. He wanted the immediate rematch and he’s got it,
this time in Manchester with his fans travelling from

Perez Thrills Fans |
|
A memorable “Rockin’
Fights” had The Paramount shaking last night as fight
fans poured into the completely sold out venue. The
six-fight card had thrilling action from top to bottom.
In the main event, ALEX “EL TORO” VARGAS (now 13-0
5KO’s) emphatically returned to the ring in a major way.
Vargas showcased excellent footwork and entertaining
combinations to keep MAURO “EL RAYO” GODOY (now 37-9-1
18KO’s) off kilter for the entirety of the fight.
Eventually, Vargas’ power overwhelmed Godoy, knocking
him down in both the second and the fifth round. With
Vargas fans chanting his name, Godoy did not come off
the stool for the sixth round. Vargas, a Suffolk County
Police Officer, was declared the winner by 5th round TKO
(3:00). A dominating return to the ring for “El Toro.”

Canelo Underwhelms In Mexico |
|
By William Trillo
Photos: Melina Pizano - Matchroom
By now we have all read the reports, Canelo Alvarez
(59-2-2, 39 KOs) looked far from a World Beater in his
unanimous decision victory over John Ryder (32-6, 18
KOs) on Saturday night. The question is why?
Did his performance show that he is now on the downside
of his career? Did the injury to his recently repaired
wing resurface? Did his inability to handle southpaw
fighters rear its ugly head again? Or was Ryder more
than he, or anyone else for that matter, bargained for?

Canelo Remains
Undisputed,
Ryder Proves His Toughness |
|
Canelo Alvarez (59-2-2, 39
KO’s) retained the Unified Super Middleweight Titles
with a 12 round unanimous decision over mandatory
challenger John Ryder (32-6, 18 KO’s). Although the
fight was pretty one-sided, with Canelo scoring two
knockdowns, one ruled a slip, Ryder rose to the occasion
and showed the heart of a champion. Ryder was dropped in
round 5 from a straight right hand and instead of
folding or stepping on the backpedal, Ryder instead let
his hands go. Canelo would again land a right hand that
sent Ryder down later in the fight, but referee Michael
Griffin ruled it a slip based on their feet tangling.
Ryder, bleeding from the nose for the majority of the
fight and hurt on a few occasions, fought back to the
very end, landing some good shots of his own. Had Ryder
any power, we may have seen a different outcome. In the
end, the fight was better than expected. Will Canelo
last with some of the top opposition these days? We'll
see if those fights even happen to begin with. All
credit to Ryder who was not expected to go the distance
to begin with.
Stay tuned for full Blog with Photos.

Did Golden Boy Promotions
Throw Ryan Garcia Under The Bus? |
|
By William Trillo
Apparently, we were not the only ones who found the
absence of both Oscar De La Hoya and Bernard Hopkins at
the Ryan Garcia post-fight press conference a little bit
more than curious. As it turns out, numerous websites
and blogs questioned Oscar and Bernard both going ghost
after the fight. In a not very surprising move, both The
Golden Boy and B-Hop came up with their versions why
they did not attend the late night festivities.
That being said, we are posting this little quiz to let
you decide why you think Ryan Garcia got thrown under
the bus by his promoters after the fight.

Luis Collazo Retires
Following TKO Loss |
|
Former world champion Luis
Collazo retires after losing to Angel Ruiz in the main
event in a ten-round junior middleweight bout on
Wednesday, April 19 at the ProBox Events Center in Plant
City, Florida.
Ruiz turns it on in the first minute of the fight and
Collazo is hurt a little bit as he bounces off the
ropes. Collazo settles in and puts together
combinations. Both fighters do damage in back and forth
round two, toe-to-toe in the middle of the ring. Collazo
goes down in final minute of roound 3 with a big left –
later the referee called a 2nd knockdown as Collazo was
being held up by the ropes. Round 5 was Collazo’s best
so far. In the first 30 seconds of round 6, Ruiz nails
Collazo with a right to the belly, Collazo goes down to
all-fours and cannot get up.

Lomachenko Chasing His
Dream |

By Igor Frank
I first met Vasyl Lomachenko ten years ago at a small
gym in Marina Del Rey, California as he was getting
ready to embark on his professional career in United
States. Perhaps the most decorated amateur boxer of all
times, Vasyl came to Los Angeles to chase after his
piece of American dream. He was humble, but
self-assured. He knew he was destined for greatness.
Everyone knew he was special.
