By Eddie Ramos Live @ Ringside


From the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles California, Golden Boy promotions hosted its 3rd boxing event of the year of “LA Fight Club.” Headlining the night’s main event featured undefeated featherweight from northern California Manuel Avila of Fairfield versus Erik Ruiz of Ventura County representing Oxnard, CA. Also, in an 8 round featherweight bout co-main event featured rising star & superb skill boxer Diego De La Hoya of Mexicali, Mexico.

In a very competitive, challenging and tactical bout Manuel Avila remains undefeated as he wins in all 3 judges’ scorecards 100-93 in the main event bout defeating Erik Ruiz. Thus, before being awarded the victory the bout went the distance as he boxed fashionably utilizing the dimensions of the ring and counter punching with excellent focus in each round.

In concentration mode Manuel A. calmly began the bout jabbing gauging his distance of his opponent and counter punching as needed. Instantly it was notable when he wanted to land the first punch he did so with impressive punching speed. As the bout progressed into to the later rounds his punches landed with precise timing as he picked his punches to land connecting with multiple combinations and power shots.

Although Erik Ruiz appeared to be the aggressor through the bout stocking Manuel A. it had no persuasion in the judges’ decision. Ruiz would start the round aggressively throwing the first punches and times connecting with good power shots and left hooks. At no point through the bout did it slow or affect Manuel Avila’s tactical boxing.

To conclude the bout Manual Avila closed the last 3 rounds in fashion letting loose of his hands firing away power punches landing effectively. Including fighting the 10th round single handedly via jab combinations reserving his right hand punch to convince the judges he was the winner in tonight’s main event. Rightfully the 3 judges awarded him the win in all 10 rounds and the bout improving his professional boxing record to 17-0 (7 KOs).

The co-main event that featured Diego De La Hoya against steel-chin warrior opponent Ramiro Robles of Guanajuato Mexico also a bout that went the distance of 8 rounds. After the ringing of the bell in round 1, fast hands sharp-shooting Diego DLH wasted no time imposing his will on his opponent unleashing punches-in-bunches as a memo this was his night. Every jab, hard punch to the body and upstairs landed and in some instances snapping his opponents head back causing him to look to the ceiling of the Belasco theatre. For a moment many fans and I believed this fights would end in round 1, or perhaps #2.

Diego DLH connected with every punch in his arsenal as the fans cheered him anticipating an early KO and was unsuccessful. Rather, realizing he was taking a beat down Ramiro R. suddenly posed resistance and ferociously began to swing away in defense posing resistance to avoid a KO remaining combative. Such display of warrior mentality ignited the fans in excitement witnessing a counter attack by Ramiro indicating the bout was not over yet.

Nonetheless, Diego DLH was just too good of a skillful and elusive boxer Ramiro was unable to land effective punches. Despite the arsenal array of power punches fired by Diego DLH, Ramiro continued to walk forward not letting up making attempts to punch Diego’s body in efforts to slow him down but was unsuccessful. Diego never appeared to affected by his opponents punches as he dominated all 8 rounds. Although, Ramiro gave it his all displaying a warrior’s heart it wasn’t enough to score a win in any of the rounds. Diego DLH is the winner via all 3 judges’ scorecard in a unanimous decision of 80-73.
