At the Chumash Casino in Santa Ynez, California lightweight Rolando Reyes stopped Courtney Burton in the eighth round. The end came when Reyes landed a series of hard blows that put Burton down and forced referee Jack Reiss to stop the fight at 2:55 of the round. With the win Reyes claims a vacant regional lightweight title and moves to 25-3-2, with 16 KOs. He will enter the Boxingtalk ratings shortly. Burton falls to 21-4, 11 KOs and after being stopped viciously in three of his last four fights by Julio Diaz, Ebo Elder, and now Rolando Reyes, perhaps Burton should think about doing something else with his life
