The Avila Perspective Chap. 11: Busy Weekend, Title Fights and Old Warriors

Published

cliché

It’s beginning to be a cliché.

Southern California and its neighboring state Arizona are staging a gang of fight cards beginning Thursday and continuing through Saturday. Once again boxing cards are stacking up like cars during rush hour in downtown L.A.

A pipeline of boxers continues its stream from Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America to places like Phoenix, Rancho Mirage, Ontario, Corona and Costa Mesa this week to join local fighters in the sport of prizefighting.

Let those fight parties begin.

Costa Mesa

On Thursday, Aug. 23, Roy Englebrecht Events stages a fight card featuring Uzbekistan boxer Murodjon Akhmadaliev (3-0) meeting Chile’s Ramon Contreras (15-6) in a 12- round fight for the vacant WBA Inter-Continental super bantamweight title at the OC Hangar in Costa Mesa, Calif.

Several other fights are planned on the boxing card that begins at 7 p.m. For more information go to: www.Socafights.com.

Englebrecht has been promoting fight cards for more than 20 years now. His team also works with Tom Loeffler’s 360 Promotions, GGG Promotions and K2 Promotions. They have a strong conduit with European prizefighters. The next Gennady Golovkin might be one of those guys fighting on Thursday. You just never know.

Heavyweights in Corona, Calif.

On Friday Aug. 24, Thompson Boxing Promotions provides its now annual outdoor boxing card at Omega Products International in Corona.

Headlining the event will be Russian heavyweight Andrey Fedosov (30-3, 25 KOs) meeting Mexico’s Miguel Cubos (11-18, 8 KOs) in an eight round bout.

Despite winning the ESPN Boxcino heavyweight tournament back in May 2015, and capturing the WBA Fedelatin title in 2016, Fedosov can’t seem to find someone willing to face him. Enter Thompson Boxing which has the heavyweight headlining the card. The Russian’s last loss was to Bryant Jennings in 2013 due to a cut.

Heavyweights are a valuable commodity and always have been. With the heavyweight division wide open more than a few promoters are jumping into the action. Thompson Boxing wants in too. Fedosov has six consecutive knockout wins.

Also on the same card, another heavyweight match showcases Elvis Garcia (3-0) versus Oswaldo Ortega (3-8). For more information call (714) 935-0900. The fight card begins at 7:45 p.m.

Top Rank – ESPN+

Two world championship bouts take place on Saturday Aug. 25, in Glendale, Arizona as WBO lightweight titlist Raymundo Beltran (35-7-1, 21 KOs) makes his first title defense against Puerto Rico’s Jose Pedraza (24-1, 12 KOs). Pedraza (pictured) is a sharpshooting former world titlist who lost to Gervonta Davis. It’s not an easy fight for either.

Beltran’s road to the world title has been a long arduous journey filled with disappointments and sadness. When he fought Ricky Burns in Scotland to a draw in 2013, many, even those from that country felt Beltran had done more than enough to win. Then, his failure to make weight against Takahro Ao in 2015 for the world title was further clouded despite winning when he failed a drug test. Now 37, does Beltran still have enough?

The other world title clash pits WBO super bantamweight titlist Isaac Dogboe (19-0, 13 KOs) in his first title defense against Japan’s Hidenori Otake (31-2-3, 14 KOs). This is Otake’s second attempt at a world title. He lost to Scott Quigg in 2014 and at age 37 it’s probably his last try at a strap. Meanwhile Dogboe, 23, got off the canvas to beat up and take the title from Jessie Magdaleno last April.

Both world title bouts take place at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona and will be shown on ESPN+.

Also on the same card will be super talented Mikaela Mayer (6-0) versus Edina Kiss (14-7) in a six round super featherweight clash.

Rancho Mirage

On Saturday, Aug. 5, World Fighting Championships brings another boxing card to the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, Calif. and features almost a dozen pro bouts and several amateur bouts.

The main event pits undefeated Francisco Ochoa (11-0) versus Eduardo Reyes (9-13) in a six round super bantamweight battle.

Most of the prizefighters are young prospects from the Inland Empire region that stretches from Pomona, California to the desert areas of Coachella, Calif. There’s plenty of boxing talent.

Desert Action

Speaking of desert casinos, what is it about Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio that brings out the best fight in prizefighting?

Last week’s battle of machismo between Andrew Cancio and Dardan Zenunaj in a super featherweight clash was epic. It was a year ago in August that another such battle took place when Mauricio Herrera and Jesus Soto Karass engaged in a similar fistic war. Crowds actually stood and cheered for both fighters in this year’s and last year’s affair.

Also on last week’s same Fantasy Springs fight card was Japan’s Yoshihiro Kamegai who received a very warm welcome from fight fans before he fought. It’s a marked example that warriors are never forgotten by real fight fans.

Kamegai gave his heart and soul to the fans when he fought Miguel Cotto and Jesus Soto Karass the past two years. Though he lost to Greg Vendetti by decision, fans gathered around the tunnel to sign autographs with the Japanese warrior.

Fighters like Kamegai, Zenunaj, and Cancio carry the torch passed on by other warriors from the past such as Cantu Robleto, Speedy Dado and Midget Wolgast in the 1930s to Gaspar Ortega, Jerry Quarry, and Scrap Iron Johnson in the late 1960s. None of these were world champions, but they fought with every fiber and it’s a reason that Southern California has become the world’s heart and soul of boxing.

Speaking of Scrap Iron Johnson, aside from having one of the coolest nicknames, if you ever saw him fight he was like a human tree stump. He could take a punch and many a heavyweight knew that. Johnson fought almost everyone in the heavyweight division except Muhammad Ali. Though he had more losses than wins in his career, anyone who fought and defeated old Scrap Iron knew they had passed a major test. Joe Frazier, George Foreman and Quarry in particular had major clashes with Johnson.

Sadly, Johnson passed away two years ago in Oklahoma City. He was a true warrior and his legions of fans still remember him. As mentioned before, warriors are never forgotten.

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.

Brooklyn’s Richardson Hitchins Wins IBF 140-Pound Title in Puerto Rico

Published

Brooklyn's-Richardson-Hitchins-Wins-IBF-140-Pound-Title-in-Puerto-Rico

A change of champions took place as Richardson Hitchins rallied from a lethargic start to wrest the IBF super lightweight title from Australia’s Liam Paro by split decision on Saturday in Puerto Rico at Coliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan.

Brooklyn has another world champion.

“I’m just happy to be a world champion,” Hitchins said.

Hitchins (19-0, 7 KOs) proved that his style of fighting could prevail over Paro (25-1, 15 KOs) who had previously knocked off another Puerto Rican champion, Subriel Matias.

Both fighters expected a different kind of encounter as Paro immediately started the fight with constant pressure and short, precise combinations. Hitchins had expected a different attack and seemed hesitant to pull the trigger.

“I couldn’t get my timing,” said Hitchins. “I thought he was going to put the pressure on me.”

Soon Hitchins ramped up his attack.

After Paro had jumped ahead with a constant strategic attack, Hitchins slipped into second gear behind a sharp right counter that found the target repeatedly.

Things began to swing in the Brooklyn fighter’s favor.

Those long arms came in handy for Hitchins who snapped off deadeye rights through Paro’s guard repeatedly. Soon the southpaw Aussie’s eye began to show signs of damage.

But Paro never quit.

Aside from using quick counters, Paro began firing lead lefts and the occasional right hook and uppercut. But seldom did he target the body. Slowly, the rounds began mounting in favor of the Brooklyn fighter.

Perhaps the best blow of the fight took place in the ninth round as Hitchins connected flush with a one-two combination. Though stunned, Paro trudged forward looking to immediately counter.

He mostly failed.

Still, Paro knew the rounds were not one-sided and he could close the distance. The Aussie fighter did well in the 11th and 12th round but could not land a significant blow. After 12 rounds one judge saw Paro the winner 117-11, while two others saw Hitchins the winner 116-112 for the new IBF titlist.

“He’s a hell of a boxer,” said Paro who loses the title in his first defense. “It’s not a loss, it’s a lesson.”

Other Bouts

A battle between Puerto Rican featherweights saw Henry Lebron (20-0) out-battle Christopher Diaz-Velez by decision after 10 action-packed rounds.

In a lightweight fight Agustin Quintana (21-2-1) gave Marc Castro (13-1) his first loss to win by split decision after 10 rounds.

Welterweight Jose Roman Vazquez (14-1) defeated Jalil Hackett (9-1) by split decision after 10 rounds.

A Six-Pack of Undercard Action from the Top Rank Card in Phoenix

A Six-Pack of Undercard Action from the Top Rank Card in Phoenix

Top Rank promoted a 10-fight card tonight at the NBA arena in Phoenix. The undercard included welterweight standout Giovani Santillan and a bevy of young prospects.

Based on his showing tonight, Albert “Chop Chop” Gonzalez is a prospect on the cusp of being a contender. A high-octane fighter with ring smarts that bely his tender age, the 22-year-old Gonzalez pitched a near 8-round shutout over Argentina’s Gerardo Antonio Perez, advancing his record to 12-0 (7). Although Gonzalez was forced to go the distance after five straight wins by stoppage, Perez, an Argentine who had never been stopped and was better than his 12-6-1 record, had a granite chin.

LA junior bantamweight Steven Navarro improved to 5-0 (4 KOs) with a second-round stoppage of Gabriel Bernardi (7-2). Navarro had Bernardi, a Puerto Rican, on the canvas twice before referee Raul Caiz Jr waived it off.

In a welterweight contest slated for “10,” Giovani Santillan improved to 33-1 (18 KOs) at the expense of Fredrick Lawson who retired on his stool after only one round. It was a nice confidence-booster for Santillan who took a lot of punishment in his last fight vs. Brian Norman Jr, a fight that Santillan was expected to win. However, tonight’s win should come with an asterisk as Lawson, a Chicago-based Ghanaian, is damaged goods and ought not be permitted to fight again, notwithstanding his 30-6 record. (All six of his losses, including the last three, came inside the distance.)

In a welterweight contest slated for six rounds, 19-year-old SoCal prospect Art Berrera Jr advanced to 7-0 (5 KOs) with a second-round TKO over Juan Carlos Campos (4-2) who fights out of Sioux City, Iowa. Referee Wes Melton lost his balance as he stepped in to stop the one-sided affair with a nano-second remaining in round two and went flying into the ropes, but was seemingly unhurt.

In a major surprise, Cesar Morales, a former Mexican national amateur champion, lost his pro debut to unheralded Kevin Mosquera, a 23-year-old Ecuadorian. A flash knockdown in the opening minute of final round factored into the result. The judges had it 39-36 and 38-37 for Mosquera (3-0-1) and 38-38.

The night did not start well for Morales’ trainer Robert Garcia who had five fighters in action tonight.

In the lid-lifter, 21-year-old Las Vegas lightweight DJ Zamora, a protege of the late Roger Mayweather, improved to 15-0 (10 KOs) with a second-round stoppage of Argentine import Roman Ruben Reynoso (22-6-2). Zamora put Reynoso on the canvas in the opening round with a left to the solar plexus and knocked him down in the second round with a counter left to the chin. Reynoso made it to his feet, but had no beef when the fight was waived off. The official time was 1:56 of round two.

Bouts involving former Olympians Lindolfo Delgado and Richard Torres Jr plus two compelling world title rematches round out the 10-fight card. TSS correspondent Phil Woolever is ringside. Check back later for his post-fight reports.
