Vazquez defeats Yett

Arlington, TX– Bud Light Pro Fight 5 at Cowboys in Arlington, TX on Saturday, October 19, 2013 was filled with nail-biting bouts and great matches that challenged even the best boxers on the card. Almost 1500 fans winced and cheered simultaneously all night long as local favorites gave the fights of their lives.

Although Hector “El Diamante” Vazquez of Irving kept his Texas Super Welterweight by unanimous decision by fighting with flawless skill and tenacious ferocity in his battle with Cory Yett of Austin, TX, the entire 8 rounds was packed full of action. Yett certainly held his own and delivered some great blows that were enough to alarm Vazquez, but Vazquez held the pressure all the way to victory.

The undercard was packed with the same kind of nail-biting action. Jamaal Lawson of Lewisville, TX beat Desmond Fields of Texarkana, TX with a TKO in the fourth round after a 4 round battle that made both fighters look more like seasoned fighters than boxers who were making their pro debut. Ann Wolfe trained Travell Mazion of Austin, TX beat Hector Garza of Harlingen, TX with a TKO in the fourth round with his usual power, but because of the skill level of Garza, he was unable to pull off his usual early round KO.

Jonathan Ramirez of Irving, TX beat Cameron Johnson of Lewisville, TX with a TKO in the third round providing fans with another exciting pro debut fight during the evening. Similarly, the nerve-racking bout between Daniel Henry of Austin, TX and local favorite Mike Tufariello of Carrolton ended in a draw much to the dismay of a crowd full of fans who doubted the judges draw decision in favorite of the much loved Tufariello.

Perhaps the most daunting fight of the evening was the battle between, top national prospect Tony Lopez of Fort Worth, TX and seasoned Jamal Parram of St. Louis, MO, which ended with a victory for Lopez by split decision. The crowd was astonished when Lopez (6-0) who typically makes boxing look easy faced many blows that shook him and actually had him on the mat for the first time in his career. Lopez came back with his usual determination to take care of business with skill and speed walking away with his 7th victory.

REDWOOD CITY, CALIF. (Oct. 22) – With Jose Silveira forced to withdraw from his Monday, Oct. 28 bout against undefeated Fairfield, Calif. prospect Manuel “Tino” Avila (12-0, 4 KO’s) due to illness, tough Mexican prospect Jose Angel Cota (15-9-1, 11 KO’s)will step up to face “Tino” in a 10-round featherweight bout at the Sports House in Redwood City, Calif. in the Golden Boy Live! featured event on FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes.

Paul “El Gallo Negro” Mendez (14-2-1, 6 KO’s) is a four-year professional with growing popularity amongst California fight fans, which isn’t surprising given his talent and stirring style. Unbeaten in eight straight bouts since 2011, the 24-year-old middleweight has scored consecutive wins over Alfredo Contreras, Dashon Johnson and Rahman Yusubov this year. He wants to make it four for four when he faces Louis Rose on Oct. 28.

One of the hottest rising fighters in the middleweight division, Louis Rose (8-1, 2 KO’s) hasn’t just won three straight fights in 2013, but he’s done it against three unbeaten prospects, handing Gino McClellan (9-0), Delen Parsley (10-0) and Akil Auguste (2-0) their first professional defeats. On Oct. 28, Rose is back on his home turf in California and looking to score a big win against Mendez.

A talented boxer and hard-hitting puncher, Jonathan “El Carismatico” Chicas (10-1, 4 KO’s) has ruled the Bay Area fight scene since turning pro in 2011, winning all but one of his fights while showing the heart and determination of a champion. Victorious in two straight bouts since the lone loss of his career against Moris Rodriguez in Dec. of 2012, the 24-year-old will look to extend that streak against fellow Californian Joaquin Chavez (6-10-2, 2 KO’s) of Los Angeles.
