Larios gets back in win column

Oscar Larios TKO4 Roberto Bonilla... Former junior bantamweight champion Oscar Larios got back in the win column after back-to-back losses to Israel Vazquez and Manny Pacquiao.  Fighting at 125.5 pounds, Larios stopped Roberto Bonilla by fourth-round technical knockout in Tuscon, Arizona to improve to 57-5-1. The deciding blow was a chopping right hand by Larios to Bonilla's jaw that dropped him to the canvas. Bonilla beat the count but clearly was in bad condition, so referee Bobby Ferrara stopped the contest. Television replays showed that on his follow through, Larios' forearm may have unintentionally contributed to damage. However, Larios was clearly superior, and the end was just a matter of time the out-classed Bonilla . The Nicaraguan, whose best weight is 115, has now lost three in a row to drop to a reported 18-9-1. source: Solo Boxeo on Telefutura
