Venezuelan update: Carfunjol scores international win

José Gabriel Carfunjol TKO2 Alejandro Ledezma Esparza... Venezuelan lightweight José Gabriel Carfunjol stopped Mexico’s Alejandro Ledezma Esparza by second-round technical knockout in Madrid over the weekend. The clash of styles came to an explosive end with 1:40 remaining in the second round, as the referee stepped in to halt the punishment. From the opening bell, Carfunjol established control of the fight behind snapping left jab that consistently disrupted Ledezma Esparza’s attempts to close the distance. The Mexican, true to his country’s traditional pressure-fighting style, tried to work his way inside, but repeatedly ran into the composed defense and timing of the Venezuelan standout. With the victory, Carfunjol is now 6-0 as a pro.  On the other side, Ledezma Esparza suffers a painful setback and drops to 7-2-1.
