Still yet more!

Time to try to get caught up...got behind while studying for the bar.


JR LIGHTWEIGHT

Ben Villaflor W15 Hector Camacho

Action-packed. Camacho was getting slightly the best of the early rounds, and would have won a split decision after 8. However, he ran out of gas and Villaflor didn't. Camacho was knocked down 3 times in the last 4 rounds, and lost a decision that makes it sound (wrongly) like he was never in the fight: 145-137, 147-136, 143-139. Villaflor now 3-0-1 (12-round draw over Erik Morales in the semis before winning a unanimous decision in the rematch), and Camacho 2-1.



FEATHERWEIGHT

Willie Pep TKO 5 Young Griffo

Not all that much to say...Pep won 3 of the first 4 rounds, in the process opening up a cut over Griffo's eye in the second round. Cut kept reopening & getting worse...Pep was a monster on defense & an accurate puncher; the fight was stopped during the 5th on the basis of the cut. Pep improves to 4-0-1 (2); Griffo falls to 3-1 (1).


JR FEATHERWEIGHT

Victor Callejas TKO 7 Jaime Garza

After 5 fairly even rounds, Garza got tagged in the 6th, and that was it. He was staggered, and Callejas finished well, dropping Garza twice in the 6th for a 10-7 round on all cards, then dropping him three times in the 7th for an automatic stoppage at the 2:27 mark. Callejas is now 3-0 (2); Garza is 2-1 (1).



BANTAMWEIGHT

Ruben Olivares W 15 Paulie Ayala

The first half of the fight was about even, but Olivares was too strong, and just kept coming. He dropped Ayala in the 12th and the 13th, and seemed like he was going to score a late stoppage, but Ayala actually rallied and won the 14th. The second half of the fight was all Olivares, though, and he earned a solid decision by scores of 143-140, 145-139, and 146-140. Olivares stands at 4-0-2 (2), while Ayala drops to 3-1-1.


JR BANTAMWEIGHT

Khaosai Galaxy TKO 8 Rafael Orono

Galaxy started fast, dropped Orono in the second, then again 3 times in the 8th, for the automatic stoppage at the 2:37 mark. Orono won a couple of close rounds, but it clearly wasn't his night. Galaxy is 3-0 (2); Orono is 2-1.



More to come!!
