Ronny Rios rolled to his 12th straight victory when Leivi Brea folded like a lawn chair and was counted out by referee Jose Cobian at 2:59 of the fourth round. Rios v. Brea headlined Golden Boy’s Fight Night Club at Club Nokia-LA Live fight series.

Neither Rios nor Brea (17-9-3) did much in a slow first round. After losing a point in the second for a low blow, Rios finally awoke in the third. Rios let his hands go and landed several left hooks to the body.

Rios (12-0) opened the fourth as he closed the third and dropped Brea with a well placed left hook. After rising, Brea backed to the opposite corner where Rios pursued with bad intentions.

Rios landed another hook and Brea dropped to his knees. When referee Jose Cobian picked up the count Brea contested the call and quit on his knees.
 

In the co-main event of the evening, promising welterweight Antonio Orozco waxed journeyman Humberto Tapia over six attention grabbing rounds. With good hand speed and continuous movement Orozco dictated the action.

With sharp combinations and an accurate right hand Orozco dominated the fight. Orozco (8-0) worked the jab in the opener to control the early action. In the second he hooked to the head off a hook to the body a la Mike Tyson. A stiff right early in the third staggered Tapia and served as a wakeup call.

Tapia (15-15-1) pressed Orozco the balance of the round but ate two punches to land one. Tapia couldn’t or wouldn’t keep the pace and became target practice over the next two rounds. Orozco doubled the jab in the sixth to cruise to victory. Orozco won the fight by unanimous scores of 60-54.
 

Like a patient offense in football, Salvador Rios took what the defense gave him and focused his fire power on Stephen Rubalcava’s exposed mid section.

When Rubalcava (0-2) finally lowered his hands Rios stung him with a stiff right that prompted referee Jose Cobian to call of the fight at 1:35 of the second round.

Rios (1-0) looked poised beyond his years in making his professional debut.
 

With his back against the ropes Jacob Alvarez wilted under the heavy hands of Bastie Samir just 2 minutes, 37 seconds into the opening round of their super middleweight bout.

Samir (4-0) pounded Alvarez relentlessly until referee Raul Caiz waived off the contest. Alvarez (0-2) faltered by lingering in the corners despite frantic pleas from his corner to stay off the ropes.
 

In an ugly swing bout, Jonathan Bobadilla outworked Juan Figueroa to capture the victory in their four round junior welterweight fight.

Bobadilla (5-3) lost a point for a head butt that disfigured Figueroa (6-8-1) but didn’t cost him the fight. Final scores were 39-36, 39-36 & 38-37 for Bobadilla.
 

Armando Dorantes (8-2) exploded on Sergio De La Torres, dropping him twice in the first 1:06 of their welterweight contest to win by knockout.

De La Torres (11-15-3) was game but couldn’t stand up to Dorantes’ left hand power.
