In the main event, Freddie Roach trained Gor Yeritsyan, (18-0, 14 KOs), defeated Quinton ‘Quickdraw’ Randall, (13-2-1, 3 KOs), in a fast paced and entertaining ten-round clash. Yeritsyan was able to overcome Randall’s switch-hitting style to effectively use his aggressiveness and take control of the fight in the second half. Earning the unanimous decision by scores of 100-90 twice and 99-91, Yeritsyan claimed the vacant WBC Continental Americas Welterweight Title. Staying very busy since signing with 360 Promotions, the victory was Yeritsyan’s fourth in an eight-month span.
Co-featured in scheduled ten-round super lightweight bout, knockout artist Cain Sandoval, (12-0, 11 KOs), proved he could go the distance against world class opposition, winning a unanimous decision over 2006 Olympian Javier Molina, (22-6, 9 KOs). The 21-year-old Sandoval displayed his full arsenal of skills against the valiant Molina throughout the fight. Scores at the end of the fight were 100 x 90, three times.
Fighting in a special attraction super flyweight bout, Daniel ‘Chucky’ Barrera, (5-0-1, 4 KOs), proved again that he is one to watch with a second round, show-stopping knockout over Filipino veteran, Jonathan Almacen, (7-10-3, 2 KOs). Displaying quick and aggressive hands, Barrera dropped Almacen twice in the second round leading to a popular victory with the action being halted by referee Jack Reiss at 2:35 of the stanza.
In a highly entertaining scrap on the undercard, Alfredo Castro Villafuerte, (10-0, 7 KOs), won an all-action six-round unanimous decision over Ezequiel Flores, (4-3, 3 KOs). Despite being cut over the left eye and dropped in the second round, the valiant Flores continued to withstand the hard-hitting Villafuerte’s attack while also scoring. With the crowd standing and cheering on the action throughout, the judge’s scorecards read 58-54, 58-55 and 57-55 for Villafuerte.
Junior middleweight Jorge Maravillo, (9-0, 8 KOs), kept his undefeated record intact by defeating Jesus Gonzalez, (7-2-1, 2 KOs), over six rounds. Maravillo took control of the fight in the second round against the tough as nails Gonzalez.
Opening the card, Osvel Caballero, (5-0, 4 KOs), impressed as the Manny Robles trained featherweight earned a fourth-round stoppage over Jason Buenaobra, (10-10-3, 4 KOs). Time of the stoppage was 2:22 of the round.
