Report & Photos By William Trillo

 

He was bloodied and thrown to the canvas but middleweight Craig McEwan (19-0, 10 KO's) weathered the storm that was brought on by rugged veteran Danny Perez (34-8, 17 KO's) and went on to win a hard fought majority decision.

From the first round McEwan knew he was in for a war as Perez pressed the action and he kept the fleet footed Scot on his toes. Cut over his right eye early McEwan picked up the action and landed numerous combinations on the charging Perez.

The battle saw McEwan thrown to the canvas by an over aggressive Perez and the crowd who came to see Perez get the upset win was raucous throughout the battle.

In the end it was McEwan who prevailed as he squeaked by with the win. Cards read 95-95 & 97-93 twice in favor of the undefeated Golden Boy prospect.
 

In the semi-main event a charged up Featherweight Charles Huerta (14-1, 7 KO's) put on a dominant performance against Jonathon Arias (15-5, 8 KO's).

Huerta sent Arias down early with a well placed body shot but Arias sucked it up and got back on his feet to give it his best shot.

Huerta used all his arsenal over the next few rounds and repeatedly landed solid hooks that clipped his foes jaw time and time again.

But it was an all out assault in round 6 that led to more body work from Huerta that brought an end to the scrap at the 1:40 mark of that final round.
 

In the opening bout of the night Welterweight Anthony Martinez (4-0,4KO's) needed just 37 seconds to stop Nichoulas Briannes (1-6) who fell victim to a great body shot.
 

In a middleweight bout Cerresso Fort (10-0,8 KO's) pounded Steve Macomber (3-9-1) in a four round shutout. Scores read 40-36 on all cards keeping Fort's undefeated record intact.
