CHILLS TONIGHT LAS VEGAS
Eric Puente wins over Diego Elizondo by majority a match that went to the brightest Puente.
Genaro Gomez wins before the limit on Raymond Yanong in the first round; An important physical superiority that appeared in the ring had appeared from the weight, it surprised us but the ring never lies.
The main event was Zepeda against Castaneda, the first victory without particular emotions, to say that it was a good match between two left-handed people above expectations, Zepeda in our opinion did not accelerate a lot only in some phases and on the other side he found an element much more ready than expected, given the short notice at the match, and being taller, even if less technical than Zepeda, gave the winner a bit of boredom, who found it difficult to enter to bring his series. Taken the times he managed better, very pleasant with some intensity.
Gabriel Muratalla wins over Sergio Lopez, at the end of the match Muratalla’s left eyebrow was open, it was a match where the winner took shots and series and Lopez swapped without any fear, and responding shoot for shoot, the victory was deserved but sweating; and here I reiterate how the growth of certain athletes takes place gradually but at the same time with real difficulties, and opponents who are ready to commit them very much.
Andre Cortes won over Alejandro Salinas; in the fourth round Cortes went down cashing in a direct right from the textbook, the cornerman will work a lot on this big lack or better on why it happened on how he took a shot like that. Salinas visually bigger than Cortes, has always been there, to make his match and to replicate managing the game at different times; technicality and certainly a different nature led Cortes to victory; who will have a lot of work to do to fix some flaws. This is also a nice match, pleasant.
Louis Lopez beats Andy Vences by split decision; here this is, let’s say,a surprise. Vences was a little favorite, but also helps us understand how this unpredictable sport is. Really it must be said that Lopez made a “mister match”, he brought the cleanest shots, including a right upright, which Vences cashed in the disbelief of many. Lopez and Vences certainly did not spare; one of those matches that project you into a round of top contenders but both have shown that they can be there, Lopez has shown that he has a little more, and in the interview outside the meeting, Vences himself said: we hit each other a lot, it was a match intense and I lost tonight from a better boxer than me, in addition to the usual thanks, he too a very evident sign above the left eyebrow arch to evidence the intensity of the match. Nice match.
Boxing makes you fall in love with boxing, thanks to these and all boxers, journayman, fighters, top fighters;
