Jr Flyweight action for Jan 86
Hiroki Ioka 0-0-0-0 WSD6 Haitham Azhar 1-6-1-0
Ioka had a tough first battle for his debut and in my opinion did enough to win
Ignacio Lindor Gorriti 0-0-0-0 LMD4 Rafael Flores 0-5-2-0
Gorriti was not impressive in his debut.He just let Flores out work him. Gorriti
did seem to be hittting his stride in the 4th as he lit up Flores but to little to
late
Jose Gumberto Lagos 15-1-1-6 WUD8 Benedicto Murillo 18-2-2-0
Action starts early as Lagos rocks Murillo in round 1 with a crisp right he tries to follow up but Flores covers up nicely. Over the next two rounds both fighters stay on the outside and win a round apiece with Lagos ratteling Flores again in the second..In the 4th Lagos moves inside with minimal success as Flores boxes nicely from th outside.The 5th and 5th easily goto Lagos as Murillo seems to be tiring and Lagos pressure is starting to get to him as Lagos is starting to land big punches. In the 7th Murillo gets on his bicycle and is doing ok until LAgos lands a perfevt right that drops Murillo for a 5 count he rises and covers up for the remainder of the round and Lagos is unable to end it.What a final round Lagos comes out looking for the KO and get rocked badley wwith a minute to go. Murillo tries to finish off Lagos even though he lands some brutal punches Lagos remains upright and wins a unanimous decision
Humberto Gonzales 16-0-0-11 WTKO9 Jose Lbiris 14-8-4-4
Great first round and out of nowhere Gonzalez is penalized a point for a low blow.Gonzales has a huge second round staggering Lbiris whose right eye is beginning to swell. Gonzales continues to outbox Lbiris over the next 4 rounds opening a cut over the right eye just before the bell ending round 6. The 7th and 8th are pretty oone sided as Gonzales continues to tag Lbiris. The ringside doc examines Lbrisis vut in the 8th but allows it to continue. The same cannot be said in the 9th as the cut reopened and the beating Lbrisis was taking the physician seen enought and Gonzales remains a top contender in the Jr Flyweight Division
Rodolfo Rodriguez 13-1-0-7 WUD10 Mario DeMarco 16-2-0-2
Rodriguez starts quickly winning a huge first round by landing crisp combos.Demarco moves to the outside in round two and has a much better round peppering Rodriguez with quick jabs. Over the next 5 rounds bith guys go at it toe to toe with the edge in my mind going to Demarco. Both fighters look to close out the show in grand fashion but a Rodriguez hook depsoits DeMarco on the canvas.he rises at 4 and covers up for the remainder of the fight.
Vincenzo Belcastro 19-0-1-1 vs Godfrey Nkate 18-2-1-5
Brlcastro the number 2 ranked Jr Fly is thourally outboxed in round 1. Belcastreo moves outside for round 2 and even though it's close he wins round 2.Over the next two rounds strategy went out the window and both guys tee off on eachother with both rounds to close to call but Nkate looking worse for wear as his left eye began swelling as the 4th round Closed.The 5th is another blistering round with both guys trading heavy leather and Belcastro being wobbled badly right at the bell.Belcastro is back on his bicycle as the 6th round begins and uses masterful counter punching to easily win the round the first clear cut winner of a round since the 2nd. Both fighters look for a rest in the 7th as both do minimal work another close round to score. The 8th is another uneventful round with Nkate edging it with his work output. Belcastro senses he needs to do something big and comes out for the kill and with 30 seconds down in the round he lands a huge uppercut that drops Nkate.he does his best to end it but his lack of punching power hurts him here. Nkate's left eye is a mess as he round closes. It is now Nkate who comes out looking for the KO but has no such luck as Belcastro easily outbox's him from the outside. The scores were 95-94 96-93 and 96-93 all for the winner Vincenzo Belcastro
