Latin American Boxing Association Championship

LABA Title Fight - LaLaguna Auditorium, Torreon, COA, Mexico

[LABA Champion] Diego Corrales, Mexico, 11-0-0 (11) vs [LABA#1] Jose Napoles, 10-1-0 (9)

Corrales-Napoles II. This is a rematch of a fight that marks the only defeat of Napoles' career. Jose Napoles has rebounded well from that setback and has vaulted to the #1 position in the LABA rankings and the #33 ranking in the world. Diego Corrales has continued on his impressive unbeaten streak of 11, and is #26 in the world. The champion comes out and lands the first blow but Napoles responds with a jab, jab, followed by a hook and straight left, 15-9, Napoles in the 1st round. What a 2nd round, 14-13, Napoles. 18-4, as Corrales strings together a few good punches and drives Napoles against the ropes. Napoles responds with a good 4th, 12-4. Napoles unloads in the 5th, as Corrales is trapped in the corner. Napoles lands a wicked uppercut and continues to throw a volley of punches that goes unaswered. Corrales cant go on much longer and the referee jumps in and is waving the fight off! Jose Napoles is the new LABA champion!

Winner: Napoles
