John Arellano W8 Xavier Wilson... On Thursday in San Antonio, Texas, lightweight John Arellano (10-1, 9 KOs) had to win the last two rounds on two of the scorecards to take a hard-fought, eight-round split decision against previously unbeaten Xavier Wilson (10-1-1, 1 KO) of Baltimore. Scores were 76-75 (twice) for the Texan, overruling 78-73 for Arellano. It marked the first win for Arellano in which he went the distance.
Kendo Castaneda W10 Eudy Bernardo... Local junior welterweight Kendo "Tremendo" Castaneda outboxed Eudy "AK47" Bernardo and cruised to a ten-round unanimous decision triumph on Thursday on the RJJ Boxing on UFC Fight Pass show at Cowboy Dance Hall in San Antonio, Texas. The 25-year-old Castaneda (16-0, 7 KOs) easily notched the win in a one-sided fight, evident by the judges' scoring (99-91, 98-92, 97-93), against his usually dangerous Dominican opponent. "I give my performance a solid eight," Castaneda said after the right. "I outboxed the guy and slapped him around all night. I really wanted the knockout, but Bernardo was mainly in a defensive mode all night. He did not live up to his 'AK47' nickname and let his hands go. I tip my hat to the guy, though. At the end of the day, he impressed me with his rugged toughness and engagement to survive the ten rounds. I'm ready to do what I do and get back to work and continue the good fight. And I'm glad to go ten rounds, so I have more rounds to study myself and sharpen up my craft."
