Anselmo Moreno Is A Top Ten Pound-for-Pounder

Published

Anselmo MorenoWhat is it about Panama that makes it such a hotbed of boxing talent?

Apart from producing numerous world champions, this small Central American country, with a population of 3.5 million people, has also delivered no fewer than four hall of fame members from it's talented breeding grounds – Ismael Laguna, Eusebio Pedroza, Panama Al Brown and most famously, Roberto Duran. They are considered the holy grail of Panamanian pugilism.

Later this month on Showtime we will have a chance to see yet another product of Panama's vast assembly line of super talent when Anselmo ” Chemito ” Moreno steps into the ring to defend his 118 pound title against Mexican challenger David De La Mora. Moreno had slipped under the radar somewhat by fighting mainly in his homeland and in Europe on obscure TV channels; it was difficult to catch a glimpse of him outside of grainy youtube clips. He was quite possibly boxing's best kept secret.

Hopefully, this will no longer be the case as a result of his sensational American debut in December of last year when he completely outboxed Vic Darchinyan over twelve one sided rounds. Moreno's performance against Darchinyan really was a dissertation on the finer points within the sweet science. Sure, Darchinyan had lost fights before [even losing on April 6 against Shinsuke Yamanaka] but he was never quite been beaten like this. Darchinyan carries a certain menace with him, hence his nickname ” The Raging Bull.” He is an ultra aggressive fighter who throws many punches. It takes alot for a defensive fighter like Moreno to thoroughly outbox him and win a decision.

In all honesty, Moreno may have put on the finest display of standing in range, making an opponent miss and making an opponent pay, since James Toney's systematic counterpunching deconstruction of Iran Barkley back in 1993. It really was THAT good. There will be those who disagree and point to some of Floyd Mayweather's recent performances as being a better display of counterpunching. Sure, I agree, Mayweather is a sensational counterpuncher, but I believe Mayweather's forte lies more within his counterattacking ability. Mayweather, at his best, is able to read his opponent's intentions and – because of his supreme speed and reflexes – land something quickly before he is attacked himself. Mayweather does not allow his opponent to complete their offensive technique. Moreno on the other hand, reacts after his opponent has finished their technique. Moreno allowed Darchinyan to complete his offensive technique, only to neutralise it through slipping, parrying and ducking, and then landing a counter. Every piece of Moreno's offense was a reaction to something Darchinyan threw, rather than what Darchinyan was about to throw. Moreno's defense is there to set up his offense.

Moreno, a southpaw, spent the majority of the fight staying in the pocket with Darchinyan, who is also a southpaw. If you take a look at the fight, you will notice only inches of space between Moreno's right foot and Darchinyan's right foot. This is a clear indication of what Moreno's intentions were – to stand in range and counter. Everything Darchinyan tried in the fight was shut down. Throughout the contest, Moreno was pivoting counter clockwise on his front foot, always moving but never running. As a result, Darchinyan could never set himself. There were occasions when Darchinyan managed to get into scoring positions in close, but Moreno quickly positioned himself – standing side on with his left glove by his chin and his right elbow covering his body – so that Darchinyan's attacks were ineffective.

As the fight progressed, Moreno's skills became even more apparent. Moreno mixed up the intentions of his jab superbly – sometimes it was used to disrupt Vic's rhythm, sometimes it was thrown as he slid off to the side and other times it was used as a range finder for his straight left hand. As Darchinyan became more frustrated and wreckless as a result of his elusive opponent, Moreno became more aggressive. He further imposed himself on Darchinyan by unleashing a ferocious body attack, a measure of Moreno's brilliance that he was able to land hard body punches while still making his opponent miss in close. By the later rounds Moreno really was putting on a clinic. There was more slipping and sliding but now we were seeing more in the way of combination punching. With Darchinyan not knowing what was coming next, Moreno was able to feint Darchinyan out of position and land clean shots at will.

While there were times during the fight when Darchinyan was outboxed and made to look silly through Moreno's superior skill, there were also times in the fight when Darchinyan was outfought and was left disheartened because of Moreno's superior will. Moreno displayed toughness and grit – showing that apart from being a superb boxer, he can also mix it up if he elects to do so.

It was not only the visual content of Moreno's work that stood out. The punchstat numbers at the end of the fight were startling to say the least. There was not much to separate them with regards to how busy both fighters were – Darchinyan threw 555 punches, to Moreno's 498. However, in terms punches landed, Moreno landed 216 total punches to Darchinyan's 101 – more than a 2-1 ratio. The mis-match continued in power punching. Darchinyan landed 68 of 304, while Moreno landed a mind blowing 113 of 172 for a 68% connect rate – 30% higher than the bantamweight average.

With the win, Moreno moved his record to 32-1-1 [11 kos]. The only blemishes on Moreno's record are a draw against Javier Tello and a split decision loss against Ricardo Molina. For the record, both of those fights occurred during Moreno's opening year as a pro and his only loss to Molina has been avenged twice since.

Even though Moreno is relatively unheard of outside of hardcore fans, he is from a scientific perspective, among the best technicians in boxing. Moreno is an extremely skilled fighter whose ability to analyse and dissect his opponent's strengths and weaknesses is first rate. Moreno is also one of boxing's most adaptive fighters. By taking in his opponents habits, he can adjust his own style in order to meet the requirements of any stylistic problems his opponent may present – his vast array of talent and ring intelligence go way beyond his 26 years.

With his slick southpaw style, Moreno will be a tough proposition for any bantamweight [and beyond] in the world. Personally, I'd love to see him in there with not only the likes of Guillermo Rigondeaux and Abner Mares, but also with the likes of Nonito Donaire. Moreno's talent deserves to be matched with boxing's best. It may not be too long before he finds himself in most peoples pound for pound top ten. [I already have him there at number ten].

Moreno may not be to everyone's taste. Boxing fans of the Tony Zale – Rocky Graziano or Arturo Gatti – Mickey Ward mould may look at his low knockout percentage and frown. Admittedly, Moreno does seem like a fighter who will likely be admired rather than adored.

But for those pure boxing connoisseurs and aficionados out there, it does not get much better than watching Anselmo Moreno.

Cardoso, Nunez, and Akitsugi Bring Home the Bacon in Plant City

Cardoso, Nunez, and Akitsugi Bring Home the Bacon in Plant City

The final ShoBox event of 2025 played out tonight at the company’s regular staging ground in Plant City, Florida. When the smoke cleared, the “A-side” fighters in the featured bouts were 3-0 in step-up fights vs. battle-tested veterans, two of whom were former world title challengers. However, the victors in none of the three fights, with the arguable exception of lanky bantamweight Katsuma Akitsugi, made any great gain in public esteem.

In the main event, a lightweight affair, Jonhatan Cardoso, a 25-year-old Brazilian, earned a hard-fought, 10-round unanimous decision over Los Mochis, Mexico southpaw Eduardo Ramirez.  The decision would have been acceptable to most neutral observers if it had been deemed a draw, but the Brazilian won by scores of 97-93 and 96-94 twice.

Cardoso, now 18-1 (15), had the crowd in his corner., This was his fourth straight appearance in Plant City. Ramirez, disadvantaged by being the smaller man with a shorter reach, declined to 28-5-3.

Co-Feature

In a 10-round featherweight fight that had no indelible moments, Luis Reynaldo Nunez advanced to 20-0 (13) with a workmanlike 10-round unanimous decision over Mexico’s Leonardo Baez. The judges had it 99-91 and 98-92 twice.

Nunez, from the Dominican Republic, is an economical fighter who fights behind a tight guard. Reputedly 85-5 as an amateur, he is managed by Sampson Lewkowicz who handles David Benavidez among others and trained by Bob Santos. Baez (22-5) was returning to the ring after a two-year hiatus.

Also

In a contest slated for “10,” ever-improving bantamweight Katsuma Akitsugi improved to 12-0 (3 KOs) with a sixth-round stoppage of Filipino import Aston Palicte (28-7-1). Akitsugi caught Palicte against the ropes and unleashed a flurry of punches climaxed by a right hook. Palicte went down and was unable to beat the count. The official time was 1:07 of round six.

This was the third straight win by stoppage for Akitsugi, a 27-year-old southpaw who trains at Freddie Roach’s Wild Card gym in LA under Roach’s assistant Eddie Hernandez. Palicte, who had been out of the ring for 16 months, is a former two-time world title challenger at superflyweight (115).

Introducing Jaylan Phillips, Boxing’s Palindrome Man

Introducing-Jaylan-Phillips-Boxing's-Palindrome-Man

On Thursday, Nov. 28, as Americans hunkered down at the dinner table with family and friends for our annual Thanksgiving Day feast, junior welterweight Jaylan Phillips and his trainer Kevin Henry were up in the sky flying from Las Vegas to Rochester, New York. For their Thanksgiving repast, they were offered a tiny bag of peanuts.

Phillips would not have eaten too much had the opportunity presented itself. The next day was the weigh-in. On Saturday, the 30th, he would compete in the 6-round main event of a small club show.

Phillips wasn’t brought to Rochester to win. His opponent, Wilfredo Flores, had a checkered career but he had once held a regional title and he lived in the general area. In boxing parlance, Jaylan Phillips was the “B” side. His role, from the promoter’s standpoint, was to fatten the record of the house fighter.

Jaylan didn’t follow the script. He won a unanimous decision over his 11-3-1 opponent, advancing his record to 4-3-4, and returned to Las Vegas with a new nickname, albeit not one of his own choosing or intended as a permanent accessory. This reporter dubbed him The Palindrome Man.

A palindrome is a word that spells the same backward and forward. Phillips’ current record is palindrome-ish.

It’s an odd record. One would be hard-pressed to find other active boxers with a slew of draws inside a small window of fights. It harks to the days, circa 1900, when some journeymen boxers accumulated as many draws as wins and losses combined.

A boxer with a 4-3-4 record would seem to be an unlikely candidate for a feature story, but the affable Jaylan Phillips is not your run-of-the-mill prizefighter.

Boxers, as we know, tend to be city folk, drawn from the black belts and the barrios of America’s urban places. Phillips grew up in Ebro, Florida, population 237 per the 2020 U.S. census. Ebro is in the Florida panhandle in the northwestern part of the state in a county that was dry until 2022. It is 23 miles due north of Panama City Beach but a world apart from the seaside Florida resort town and its pricey beachfront condos.

Of those 237 people, only five identified as African-American or black, or so it would be written, but the census-taker was obviously slothful. “That’s a crazy number,” says Phillips. “There has to be at least 40 or 50. And the reason I know that is that we are all related.”

“What does one do for excitement in Ebro?” we asked him. “Hunting, fishing, trapping, that sort of thing,” he said. And what does one trap? “Mostly raccoons,” he said, while adding that some of the elders in his extended family consider it a delicacy.

Phillips fought in Rochester, New York, on Saturday and was back in the gym in Las Vegas on Tuesday. He lives alone and does not own a car. His apartment, near UNLV, is three-and-a-half miles from the Top Rank Gym where he does most of his training. He jogs there and then jogs home again, this in a city where the temperature routinely exceeds 100 degrees for much of the year.

During his high school years, Phillips, now 25, concedes that he smoked a lot of weed and it impacted his grades. His interest in boxing was fueled by the exploits of Roy Jones Jr, another fighter with roots in the Florida panhandle. In his spare time, he enjoys watching tapes of old Sugar Ray Robinson fights which can be found on youtube. “He was the best,” says Phillips of Robinson who has been dead for 35 years, echoing an opinion that hasn’t diminished with the passage of time.

In his second pro fight, Phillips was thrust against a baby-faced novice from Cleveland, Abdullah Mason. Although Mason was only 17 years old, the Top Rank matchmaker did Jaylan no favors. He was still standing when the referee waived the fight off in the second round.

About the heavily-hyped Mason, Phillips says, “He’s a beast, like they say, but I would love to fight him again. I took that fight on two weeks’ notice. I’m confident the outcome would have been different if I had had a full camp.”

This observation will undoubtedly strike some as a delusion. Pound for pound, the precocious Mason just may be the top pro fighter in the world in his age group. But Jaylan isn’t lacking confidence which spills over when he talks about what lies ahead for him. “I will be a world champion,” he says matter-of-factly. And after boxing? “I see myself back home in Ebro living a humble life, hunting and fishing, but with a million dollars in the bank.”

If unswerving dedication and self-confidence are the keys to a successful boxing career, then Jaylan Phillips, notwithstanding his 4-3-4 record, is destined for big things. But here’s the rub:

“In boxing, it isn’t what you earn, but what you negotiate,” says the esteemed British boxing pundit Steve Bunce alluding to the importance of a well-connected manager. In a perfect world, each win would be stepping-stone to a bigger fight with a commensurately larger purse. But in this chaotic sport, a “B side” fighter who scores an upset in a low-level fight may actually be penalized for his “impertinence.” Promoters may be wary of using him again (the old “risk/reward” encumbrance) and, in a sport where it’s important for an up-and-comer to stay busy, his progress may be stalled.

Phillips doesn’t know when his next assignment will materialize, but regardless he will keep plugging along while setting an example that others who aspire to greatness would be wise to emulate.

Emanuel Navarrete and Rafael Espinoza Shine in Phoenix

Emanuel-Navarrete-and-Rafael-Espinoza-Shine-in-Phoenix

Emanuel Navarrete and Rafael Espinoza Shine in Phoenix

PHOENIX – Saturday was a busy night on the global boxing scene, and it’s quite likely that the howling attendees in Phoenix’s Footprint Center witnessed the finest overall card of the international schedule. The many Mexican flags on display in the packed, scaled down arena signaled the event’s theme.

Co-main events featured rematches that arose from a pair of prior crowd-pleasing slugfests. Each of tonight’s headlining bouts ended at the halfway point, but that was their only similarity.

Emanuel “Vaquero” Navarrete, now 39-2-1 (32), defended his WBO Junior Lightweight belt with a dramatic stoppage of more-than-willing Oscar Valdez, 32-3 (24). The 29-year-old champion spoke of retirement wishes, but after dominating a blazing battle in which he scored three knockdowns, his only focus was relaxing during the holidays then getting back to what sounded like long-term business.

“Valdez was extremely tough in this fight,” said Navarrete. “I knew I had to push him back and I did. You are now witnessing the second phase of my career and you can expect great things from me in 2025.”

“I don’t really know about the future,” said the crestfallen, 33-year-old Valdez. “No excuses. He did what he wanted to and I couldn’t.”

Navarrete, a three-division titlist, came up one scorecard short of a fourth belt in his previous fight last May, a split decision loss to Denys Berinchyk. This was Navarrete’s fourth Arizona appearance so he was cheered like a homeboy, but Valdez was definitely the crowd favorite, evident from the cheers that erupted as both fighters were shown arriving in glistening, low rider automobiles.

Both men came out throwing huge shots, but it was Navarrete who scored a flash knockdown in the first round, setting the tone for the rest of the fight. There was fierce action in every frame, with Navarrete getting the best of most of it, but even when he was in trouble Valdez roared back and brought the crowd to their feet. He got dropped again at the very end of round four, and Navarrete sent his mouthpiece into orbit the round after that.

When Navarrette drove Valdez into the ropes during round six it looked like referee Raul Caiz, Jr was about to intervene, but before he could decide, Navarrete finished matters himself with a perfect left to the ribs that crumpled Valdez into a KO at 2:42.

“He talked about getting ready to retire soon so I told him we had to fight again right now,” said Valdez prior to the rematch. There were numerous “be careful what you wish for” type predictions of doom and he entered the ring at around a two to one underdog, understanding the contest’s make or break stakes. “Boxing penalizes you if you have a lot of losses,” observed Valdez. “It’s not like other sports where you can lose and do better next season. In boxing, most people don’t want to see you again after a couple of losses.”

What Valdez might decide remains to be seen, but even in defeat he proved to be a warrior worth watching.

Co-Feature

After their epic, razor-close encounter almost exactly a year ago, it was obvious Rafael Espinoza, and fellow 30-year-old Robeisy Ramirez should meet again for the WBO featherweight title belt Espinoza earned by an upset majority decision. Espinoza turned the trick again this time around, inside the distance, but it was more anti-climactic than anything like toe-to-toe.

The 6’1” Espinoza, now 26-0 (22), was the aggressor from the opening frame, but 5’6” Ramirez, 14-3 (9) employed his short stature well to stay out of immediate danger and countered to the body for a slight edge. The Cuban challenger avoided much of their previous firefight and initially controlled the tempo. The crowd jeered him for staying away but it was an effective strategy, at least at first.

Espinoza connected much better in the fifth round and looked fresher as Ramirez’s face rapidly reddened. Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere in round six, Ramirez took a punch then raised a glove in surrender. Whatever the reason, even looking at Ramirez’s swollen right eye, it looked like a “No Mas” moment. Replays showed a straight right to the eye socket, but that didn’t stop the crowd from hooting their disgust after ref Chris Flores signaled the end at 0:12.

***

Richard Torrez, Jr, now 12-0 (11), displayed his Olympic silver medal pedigree in a heavyweight bout against Issac Munoz, 18-2-1 (15). Torrez, 236.6, found his punching range quickly with southpaw leads as Munoz, 252, tried to stand his ground but looked hurt by early body work that forced him into the ropes. He was gasping for breath as Torrez peppered him in the second, and Munoz went back to his corner on unsteady legs.

Munoz’s team should have thought about saving him for another day in the third as he ate big shots. Luckily, referee Raul Caiz, Jr. was wiser and had seen enough, waving it off for a TKO at 0:59.

“I don’t train for the opponent,” reflected Torrez, who isn’t far from true contender status. “Every time I train, I train for a world championship fight.”

***

Super-lightweight Lindolfo Delgado, 139.9, improved to 22-0 (16), and took another step into the world title picture against Jackson Marinez, now 22-4 (10), 139.2.

On paper this junior welterweight matchup appeared fairly even, and Marinez managed to keep it that way for almost half the scheduled ten rounds against a solid prospect but Delgado kept upping the ante until Marinez was out of chips. The assembled swarm was whistling for more action after three tentative opening frames, as Delgado loaded up but couldn’t put much offense together.

That changed in the 4th when Delgado connected with solid crosses. In the fifth, a fine combination dropped Marinez into a delayed knockdown and a wicked follow-up right to the guts finished the wobbly Marinez, who had nothing to be ashamed of, off in the arms of ref Wes Melton. Official TKO time was 2:13.

In a matter of concurrent programming, Saturday also held a lot of highly publicized college football and basketball games which likely detracted from the larger mainstream audience and media coverage this fight card deserved. That’s a shame but you can’t fault boxing, Top Rank, or any of the fighters for that because, once again, they all came through big time in Phoenix.
