Sergio Mendoza Improves To 17-0 With 16 KO's
Last night’s “Canela Fight Night” series inaugural event was
a knockout success, in addition to being a platform to
showcase a potential future star, at Sonora Arena in
Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico.
The action-packed, entertaining “Canela Fight Nights,”
presented by World Cup Boxing Series (WCBS) and De La O
Promotions, was streamed live, exclusively and for FREE
throughout the United States, Mexico, and Latin America.
“Canela Fights Night” will be streamed the third Friday of
every month, the next scheduled August 19th in Los Mochis,
Sinaloa, Mexico.
Rising Mexican flyweight star Sergio “Yoreme” Mendoza (17-0,
16 KOs) headlined in his hometown against veteran Francisco
“Charrito” Gomez in the scheduled 10-round main event for
the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) FECARBOX Flyweight
Championship.
The 22-year-old Mendoza used his height and reach advantages
against the much smaller Gomez, who was unable to get
inside, remaining a sitting duck for the gifted Mendoza.
Mendoza dropped Gomez at the end of round five and closed
the show with a vicious body shot.
In the co-featured event, super bantamweight Jesus “Koreano”
Ramirez nearly finished off Anthony “Boy” Jimenez Salas
(17-4-1, 5 KOs) in the second round, flooring Salas who beat
the count and was saved by the bell, at least temporarily.
The end for Salas came in the fourth as the referee halted
the action.
Celebrated Mexican amateur Marco Cota Moreno (8-0, 6 KO)
continued to develop as a 20-year-old professional. Moreno
simply overwhelmed lightweight Brandon “Bam Nam” Orozco
(4-3, 3 KOs) enroute to a second-round technical knockout
victory. Moreno was a 5-time Sonora State amateur champion
who compiled a sterling 146-4 record.
Lightweight Brayan Zamarripa (12-1, 3 KOs) took care of
business early, stopping veteran Jesus “Vibro” Arevalo
(27-7-1, 15 KOs) at the end of the opening round.
In the opening bout of the evening, Las Vegas junior
flyweight Yadira Bustillos (5-0, 0 KOs) out-boxed late
replacement Barbra Martinez Munoz (3-13-1) for an impressive
6-round unanimous decision.
“Canela Fight Nights” was created by CANELA MEDIA, a
leading, minority-owned technology driven company committed
to redefining digital media experiences for the Hispanic
Community, and World Cup Boxing Series (WCBS), led by its
creators CEO Terry Holland and promoter/matchmaker Guy
Taylor.
