By William Trillo
It was a great night this past Saturday In Los Angeles as
All Star Promotions put on an excellent card at The Westin
Bonaventure. The full house in attendance was treated to a
great night of boxing from top to bottom.
In the main event Light heavyweight contender Ismayl Sillakh
(19-1, 15 KO’s) took on a tough fight Mitch Williams
(7-3-1,5 KO’s) in a scheduled eight round bout. In a
surprising moment Williams rocked Sillakh early and the shot
got everyone’s attention.
Knowing he was in for a fight Sillakh settled down and put
on a fine display of boxing, even dropping Williams with a
double hook to the body and head in round 4. Williams arose
and went on to go the distance but came up on the short end
of scores that read 79-72 on all cards.
In a real thriller featherweights Humberto Zatarain (3-1-1)
and Karihi Tehei (3-0, 2 KOs) went toe to toe for six action
packed rounds. Tehei was down early but got on his feet and

& 56-57.

he had to offer but it was not enough as the young Ocegueda
took a unanimous decision 60-53 & 59-54 twice.

Morales (6-12-7) fought to a four round draw.
