Friday, June 26 - Friday Night Fights RESULTS
FLY IBF Myung Wu Yuh (2) vs German Torres (10) (Yuh UD 10: 96-93, 96-93, 95-94. Yuh rebounds from hitting the deck in the first to dictate pace and control the action much of the rest of the bout. Torres had his moments, but Yuh earns the decision. He gets Hilario Zapata in the semifinal.)
FLY IBF Rosendo Alvarez (4) vs Sot Chitalada (5) (Chitalada UD 10: 97-93 on all cards. Alvarez sets a furious pace, throwing 823 punches in the bout. Chitalada throws 630, but lands far more often (316 to 185.) This isn't lost on the judges, who watch Chitalada fight a brilliant tactical bout, and even stand in to exchange when it called for it. Many think Chitalada could gave #1 seed Michael Carbajal all he can handle in the semifinal.)
BW WBC Junior Jones (3) vs Thanomchit Sukothia (6) (Jones UD 10: 96-95 on all 3 cards: Pace slows significantly in final 4 rounds, but for the first 6 this was an absolute war. 1 and 3 go to Sukothia, 2 and 4 to Jones, and the respective fighters thoroughly dominated the other in those rounds. Jones was trying to keep at a distance, but Sukothia was stalking him and Jones' defense lapsed. He was being sent backward and reeling by shot after shot as he tried to retreat. Amazingly, he kept his feet, and would turn around with counterpunching exhibitions in the rounds he won, catching every opening Sukothia left him. FNF scorecard had it the same as the judges. Great effort by Sukothia, but Jones advances to face the winner of Ruben Olivares/Richie Sandoval, slated for a rematch of their draw.)
LHW WBA Victor Galindez (3) vs Roger Rouse (11) (Galindez KO 1: 31 seconds. Good night. Mr. Bob Foster, hope you were watching. They meet in the semifinal.)
