In Tijuana, Saturday's fight between Ángel Fierro and Abraham Cordero was suspended after Fierro lost control of himself. In a fit of rage, Fierro violated boxing rules by kicking Cordero in the left leg, resulting in a disqualification. The disqualification marked Fierro's return to the ring after a loss to Isaac Cruz in January. (A rematch was booked for July but Fierro missed weight and the fight was called off). Fierro's return last weekend was accompanied by another controversy. Fighting in Fierro's hometown, Cordero attempted to impose his style in round two with calculated attacks from medium and long range. Fierro displayed effective defensive skills and, at times, managed to corner Cordero against the ropes, generating additional pressure. However, the tension exploded in the third round. Cordero began to dominate the fight, and Fierro showed signs of impatience. They screamed at each other and threw punches over the intervening referee, who tried to calm them down and demand a fair fight. Before the referee could regain control, Cordero landed a direct punch to Fierro's face, which clearly angered the Tijuana native. Fierro sidestepped the referee and lunged at Cordero, immediately kicking him. Cornermen entered the ring, and the eventual verdict was a win via disqualification for Cordero (16-6-2). Fierro is now 23-4-2 with two straight losses.
