Luis Nery TKO3 Francisco Rodriguez... At the WBC Convention in Acapulco, Mexico, fomrer two-division champion Luis “Pantera” Nery battered Francisco Rodriguez (14-7-1) for two rounds of a junior lightweight contest and then Rodriguez called it a night. On his way to the ring for this all-Tijuana match-up, Nery was greeted by ex-champions Jose Luis Castillo and Erik “Terrible” Motales. Once in the ring, he jumped up and down, visibly energized. Nery’s powerful left hooks and uppercuts quickly took their toll. He closed the distance and trapped Rodriguez on the ropes. He then unloaded and unleashed with bludgeoning flurries. Referee Mark Lyson stopped it at the start of round three. An easy TKO victory for the  still menacing and hard hitting Nery, who is now 38-3.

 

Camila Zamorano W10 Brenda Balderas... Atomweight champion Camila Zamorano retained her title by unanimous decision.  Ahead on the WBC scores announced after four and eight rounds, Zamorano used her height and reach to good effect reddening Brenda Balderas’ face while milling on the retreat. But Balderas pursued her, and had some success at close range fighting out of clinches. The fight, however, was controlled by Zamorano's snaking left jabs and straight right plus some body punches. The judges saw it as: 98-92 (twice) and 100-90. 

 

UNDERCARD RESULTS

At flyweight, Esneidy Rodriguez won a convincing unanimous decision against Lucia Gutiérrez with all three judges scoring it 80-72. Lithe, fit and busy, Rodriguez peppered Gutiérrez with hooks to head and body, often trapping her on the ropes.
