Santiago Dominguez Improves To 24-0
The final RJJ Boxing event of 2020 was held last night,
presented by Roy Jones, Jr. Boxing Promotions and De La O
Promotions, at Marinaterra Hotel & Spa Event Center in San
Carlos, Sonora, Mexico.
World Boxing Council (WBC) No. 13 rated welterweight
Santiago "Somer" Dominguez (24-0, 18 KOs), improved to 24-0
(18 KOs) with a hard fought 10-round split decision victory
over a tough Ricardo "Riky" Lara (22-9, 10 KOs) in the main
event.
The final 2020 installment of RJJ Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASS
was streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS®, the
world's leading digital subscription service for combat
sports.
The 29-year-old Santiago, Mexico's No. 1 rated welterweight,
was extended the full distance for only the sixth time
during his pro career. The reigning North American Boxing

including three during the pandemic.
In the co-featured event, Luis "Koreano" Torres (10-0, 7
KOs) destroyed Juan Marcos "Mudo" Rodriguez Ortiz (9-3, 7
KOs), brutally knocking him out in the third round. Torres
holds the WBC Youth Silver lightweight title.

undefeated with impressive performances: heavyweight Geovany

Lomeli (21-16-1, 15 KOs) midway through the opening round,
super welterweight Yoelvis "La Joya" Gomez (3-0, 3 KOs)

and featherweight Jailer Lopez (4-0, 2 KOs) defeated
previously undefeated Armando Ramirez (3-1) by way of a
unanimous 4-round decision.
