Venezuela's Jesus Correa gets good road win

Jesus Correa TKO6 Jesus Acosta... Venezuelan junior middleweight Jesus Correa defeated Mexico's Jesus Acosta by technical knockout in the sixth round in in Aguascalientes, Mexico. [Acosta may have been a late replacement as the WBA listed a different oponent in the pre-fight press release]. The Venezuelan brought out his best power punches and made it clear from the opening bell who was the strongest in the ring. Correa knocked his opponent down in the first round with a right to the head and from then on showed his dominance at all times. Although Acosta was brave and aggressive, he could not find a way to get inside and was taking punishment as the rounds went by. Correa connected good hooks to the liver area and combined them with punches to the face. In the sixth round, Correa came out determined to finish the fight. He increased his punch volume and after several power punches he sent Acosta to the canvas again. The Mexican got up but the Venezuelan got on top of him and forced the local corner to throw the towel into the ring for the third man in the ring to stop the actions. Correa is now 14-2 including the Wolrd Series of Boxing. Acosta drops to 15-4-1.
