SHOWTIME BOXING AT THE PEARL CONCERT THEATRE AT THE PALMS CASINO RESORT LAS VEGAS !

21 MINUTES LATE LIKE ALL EVENTS ! ! !

6 BOUTS, MOSTLY LITTLE GUYS, BOXING IN ONE OF LAS VEGAS PERFECT ARENAS !


“Rico Ramos is a very good fighter. But I train very hard and when I train, no one can beat me. 2012 is going to be my time." Those the words of Guillermo Rigondeaux 9-0...main event winner over Ramos 20-1, that with a KO at 1.29 of the sixth round. KO. These 122 pounders fighting for an alleged championship...we all know that there are no championships just alphabetical call letter organizations who take money from fighters....YOU NEVER WILL SEE ANY OF THOSE LETTERS IN THIS COLUMN. Anyway they fought and it was what it was, small club card boxing which for us old time fight fans.....are eternally grateful.

Grateful also for a 7th round TKO by Joel Diaz Jr. 7-0 over Guy Rob 7-1.... top four guys on the card all undefeated and only one on the ticket with a losing record....IMPRESSIVE. Thanks to Goosen Tutor Promotions for that and all cards past, present and future.

Thanks also to Matt Villanueva 7-0-1 for another 7th round TKO, this over Mike Ruiz Jr. 8-2-1...these guys super flyweights 115 !

Inexperienced heavyweights went thru a competitive four rounds with Rodney Hernandez taking a 40-36, 40-36 and 39-37 unanimous decision over Razvan Cojanu.

THANKS AGAIN TO THE PALMS AND GOOSEN TUTOR FOR BOXING....LETS DO IT AGAIN SOON !

C 73 ..... lost 21 points for being 21 minutes late !
