Middleweight Title Contender

journeyman Anthony Greeley of Dallas!!!

Gonzales Grinds Greeley!! |
|
Greeley seemed strong and brought a record of 7-23-2
with 1 KO. But while the bout was scheduled for ten rounds, The Hammer was clearly just too much.
The referee warned
Greeley twice for low blows, and while Greeley, of
Monroe, Louisiana, landed a couple of clean shots,
Gonzales easily dominated the short match.
A
straight left to the body from the southpaw Gonzales
sent Greeley to the canvas, and the referee stopped
the contest at 2:34 of the first round.
"I was setting him up with the left, and then he was
waiting for the straight left (to the head) and he
didn't expect the body shot. Me and Kenny were
working on it," Gonzales said after the bout.
"We're on a path for Floyd Mayweather," said
Gonzales' trainer and manager Kenny Weldon. "We want
Floyd Mayweather and Ernie beat him to death
sparring with him. We want him bad."
Gonzales improves to 22-1 with 12 KO's.

"El
Jefe" Smashes Salter!
Heavyweight Bobby "El Jefe" Flores of Houston
scored another quick knockout.
Flores
weighed in at more than 300 pounds, while Salter looked
close to that weight as well, and solid. It appeared as
though there was some chance the bout would last longer than
Flores' previous four outings, which lasted a combined total of
one minute and 22 seconds.
But
Flores opened fast and aggressive, bulling Salter into the
ropes and then landing a right hand that wobbled him. Salter
vainly tried to survive.
But
the pressure and the power from Flores was too much, and a
straight right hand to the chest ultimately sent him down.
The referee stopped the contest at 1:31 of the first round.
Salter falls to 0-3 while Flores improves to 5-1 with 5
KO's.

Vallecillo Outpoints Osuna!
 |
|
Justo "El Nica" Valencio of San Antonio took split
decision to hand "Mighty" Marty Osuna of Houston his
first professional loss!
In an excellent slugfest, the fighters traded big
shots for four tough rounds.
Valencio opened round one with a straight right.
Osuna responded with a counter left to the head. The
fighters exchanged body shots and Osuna landed a
solid left uppercut to the head. The bombs continued
throughout, with both fighters landing multiple
shots to the body and head. The bout was originally
declared a draw, but officials say that was actually
a clerical error, and in the end while one judge
gave all four rounds to Osuna, two other judges
scored the bout 39-37 for Valencio.
 .
"I thought I won the fight," Osuna said afterward.
"He might have thrown more punches, but I landed
more effective and bigger punches. I expected him to
be tough, but we've just got to work on a few
things. |

"Lion" Munches "Hot Dog"!! |
|
H
Jr. Welterweight John "The Lion" Rarden of Pasadena
remains undefeated after pounding out a unanimous
decision against Wayne "Hot Dog" Fletcher of Dallas.
The
fighters traded shots throughout most of the six-round bout.
Rarden landed solid rights
and lefts to the head while Fletcher closed the round with a
big left hook to the body.
Rarden
began hammering to the body in round two, and displayed
great defense as he stood within inches of Fletcher and
evaded multiple punches with his body movement. Rarden
then forced Greeley into the ropes and seemed to hurt him
with a combination.
Rarden opened round three with a left hook to the body and
was warned for a low blow shortly thereafter. Trainer
Kenny Weldon urged Rarden to punch on the second step, and
The Lion landed a right to the head. Fletcher then fired
back and landed with a multiple punch combination.
Rarden continued to land
solid rights and lefts to the head of Greeley from the
outside in round four and into round five. But Rarden began
to pose and clown some late in round five, while Weldon
yelled for him to keep his hands up.
"I'm too arrogant, too cocky,
and I need to calm down," Rarden said after the fight. "I'm
here for the fans. He (Weldon) says it don't please them, I
think it does. I'm the man in the ring.
Rarden was clearly the man on this night as all three judges
gave him all six rounds. "He's got a lot of experience so
when he's hurt he knows what to do and he did his job. He
held on and survived the round. I worked the jab really well
today and I need to keep him out on the end more, not let a
guy like that, real strong, just keep grabbing me like
that."
"
Rarden improves to 8-0 with 2 KO's. While he does not have a
high knockout ratio that may be reflective of the fact that
he has generally fought more experienced opponents.
"You fight all these bums all
the time, that doesn't help you. That doesn't make you
better. Guys like this don't make me better, but it prepares
me more for the tougher guys. I just do what Kenny tells me.
If he wants to put a guy in there 30-0, that's who I'm going
to fight."
Fletcher falls to 5-20-2 with
3 KO's.

"El Michoacano" Masters "El Gallito"!!
In an outstanding performance, Featherweight
Benjamin "El Mochoacano Flores of Houston pounded
out a vicious win over Adauto "El Gallito" Gonzales
of Austin.
The match began
with a blistering pace, as Gonzales ripped shots to
the body of Flores, on the right in the photo above. Gonzales also landed a solid
right uppercut and several other solid shots,
looking to be the stronger of the two fighters.
But El
Michoacano pressed the action early in round two,
landing a combination to the body and a counter left
hand that snapped Gonzales's head back.
Flores landed
combinations to the head and then in round three
opened with a right uppercut to the head and left
hook to the body.
Gonzales fired
back with a big body shot but it seemd to only make
Flores more intense, and she urged his opponent to
come forward and trade punches. The fighters traded
multiple shots through rounds three, four and five.
Gonzales came out like a man possessed early in
round six, throwing multiple shots, but Flores
weather the onslaught and beckoned fore more once
again. The motion seemed to deflate Gonzales, while
Flores seemed to have gathered a second wind and
looked surprisingly fresh for midway through the
sixth and final round.
Gonzales landed
a couple of bombs toward the end of the round but in
the end it was a unanimous decision for "El
Mochoacano".
Flores improves
to 15-3 with 4 KO's.
"He's a good fighter," Flores said after the bout. "
He gave me a tough fight. Better than I thought he
was going to be. He's 7-1. Experienced fighter,
dirty fighter. I like to please the crowd. Hopefully
next October or November I'll fight for the N.A.B.A.
title.".
