Cruiserweight Brent Urban of
Dallas blasted out a unanimous decision over the previously
undefeated Willie "Dynamite" Edwards at the Humble Civic
Center on June 4th of 2009!!!
Conner
Drops Delgado!!
Super Featherweight Kimberly Conner of Little Rock,
Arkansas took a unanimous decision over
Crystal "Choo Choo" Delgado of Houston! See video of round one below!
..
The 28-year-old Conner had not had a professional fight since July
of 2005. She offered deceptive strength for her tall, lean
frame. Conner also fired off crisp, accurate punches to beat
back the furious
onslaughts of Delgado. Conner came in with a record of 2-1 with 1 KO
to Delgado's 8-1 with 1 KO. Delgado was coming
off a sixth-round TKO loss to world-ranked and then
8-1 Stacy Reile of Miami in Humble in March. To her
credit, and unlike some other fighters who are
content to pad their records with more hollow wins
over marginal opponents, Delgado appears to be
choosing to face tougher competition, and at just 18
years old, she will almost certainly become a better
fighter in the long run as a result.
..
Delgado's trainer and father Phil Delgado says "Choo
Choo" suffered a severe sprain and torn ligaments in
her left hand and wrist, throwing an overhand left
at the end of the second round.
<o
Conner kept Delgado on
the ropes for much of round three.
See video of round four below!!
..
Two
judges scored the bout 39-36, while the third had it
38-37, all for Conner, giving her the unanimous
decision!
..
Kimberly Connor improves to 3-1 with 1 KO!
Mendez
Dismantles Dominguez!
Super
Featherweight Jesus "JT" Mendez of Houston
made short work of Gerardo Dominguez of
Tyler, Texas.
Dominguez
came in with a record of 0-2 but he seemed
to be quite solidly built.
That seemed
meaningless to Mendez, who easily outclassed
Dominguez. Mendez seemed to settle away some
from his previous style, in which he would
often stand in front of an opponent with his
hands down, waiting for the opponent to miss
so he could use his superior reflexes and
hand speed to counterpunch from odd angles. In
this match he was more businesslike, banging
the body then targeting the head and going
straight to work, resulting in a short night
for him.
See video of
the knockout below!

JT Mendez
improves to 3-1 with 2 KO's!
Gutierrez
Mashes Middlebrooks!
Welterweight Jose "Topita"
Gutierrez of Houston subdued Anthony Middlebrooks of
Tuscaloosa, Alabama with vicious body shots!..
Gutierrez was coming
of a six-round majority decision win over Deon Nash
on March 26th. The 33-year-old Middlebrooks was
coming off a four-round draw against the 3-29
Charles Sims in Columbus, Mississippi on March 6th.
See video of round two below!
..
The knockout came at
:48 of the 4th round!!
..
"Topita" Gutierrez
improves to 14-5 with 10 KO's
Patina Pounds
Quarrels!
Jr. Welterweight
Carlos Patina of Galveston ripped off a 1st round
TKO over Chris Quarrels of Pensacola, Florida.
The bout opened with
a wild exchange!
But about 30 seconds
into the match Patina began landing solid
combination to the head, and the referee stopped the
contest after 58 seconds!
Quarrels falls to 0-3.
Carlos Patina
wins his pro debut!
Urban Blasts
"Dynamite"!
Urban hurt Edwards early in round
one! See video below!
..
Edwards amazingly survived and the fighters
exchanged hard shots in round two.
Edwards would appear hurt several times during the
bout, although he always recovered and fired back.
Edwards got
caught with a left hand going away and went to the
canvas!
See the rest of round two below!!
..
Edwards came
into the match undefeated at 7-0 with 2 KO's.
Urban
brought a record of 1-2 with 1 KO.
This was a
rematch for the two fighters, as Edwards had won a
unanimous four-round decision over Urban in March
26th in this very ring.
Urban's corner urged
him to stick to the jab in round four and he
peppered Edwards with multiple shots early, although
Edwards answered back with thunderous shots to the
head.
..
Urban seemed to run
out of gas in round five and Edwards peppered him with
rights to the head.
..
The fighters
continued to trade bombs in round six!
..
In the end all three
judges scored the bout 58-55 for Urban, giving him
the unanimous decision!

for Jackson.
..

Steve Moreno improves to 2-1 with 2 KO's.
Thacker Thumps Juarez!
Cruiserweight Hanson Thacker of Arlington,
Texas used superior handspeed and
counterpunching to take a decision over
Freddie Juarez of Dallas.
Juarez, who was making his pro debut, would
advance forward for most of the fight,
although most of his punches were not very
effective.
Thacker, who demonstrated the bad habit of
keeping his left hand at his waist several
times, still managed to connect with
combinations once Juarez got inside.
A right hand from Thacker also sent Juarez
to the canvas in round two. Juarez charged
out wildly to open round three, but once
again took several shots for his effort, and
in the end pressed forward with his hands
up, but not throwing many punches. Two
judges scored the bout 39-36 for Thacker,
while the third judge called it 40-36 for
Thacker, giving him the unanimous decision..
"He kept ducking my punches, I couldn't
really get to him like I usually would," said Thacker after the match.
"So I had to basically turn myself into a
counterpuncher and kind of score like that.
I had to adjust to him."
Two
judges scored the bout 39-36, while the
third had it 40-36, all for Thacker, who
took the unanimous decision.
