Bantamweight Bouts Feb 86


Al Cabillan 0-0-0-0 vs Tsuramatsu Kouki 0-3-1-0


Very competative fight as the scores indicate. 38-38 across the board. Maybe if Cabillan was in shape he may have won his debut.

Rollie Penaroya 0-0-0-0 vs Joe Sasaki 0-3-0-0


Now that's a debut Penaroya comes out and tags Sasaki with a classic right hook and Sasaki is counted out at 1:39 of the first round.

#21 Harold Petty 15-0-0-6 vs #23 Ernest Koffi 12-0-0-9


The pre-prime boxer Petty and the pre-prime slugging Koffi are in great shape for this 8 rounder. Coming into the bout Petty is a 2-1 favorite. There was no feeling out in that round both men went at it landing some great shots, advantage to Koffi. Very close second round as Petty boxes from the outside, to close a round to call. Again both men just trade heavy shots. Petty's best round but still may not have won it. Petty definately wins the fourth as he outlands Koffi with some nice power shots.Very slow fifth that Petty wins by using the jab. Another slow round in the sixth as Koffi cannot land a punch, another round for Petty. Petty looks winded as the seventh round begins but he is still able to use his legs and outbox the charging Koffi, another round for Petty. Petty uses the ring again in the eighth and easily outboxes Koffi again. What started out as a close fight after three rounds got pretty onesided once Petty used his boxing skills to outbox Koffi. The scorecards read 79-76 and 78-75 twice for the winner by unanimous decision Harold Petty.

#8 Carlos Zarate 21-0-0-21 vs #27 Takao Sakurai 16-0-1-0


Your classic boxer vs slugger match, Both fighters are at pre-prime and are in great shape for this 10 rounder. I know Sakurai wants to raise the level of his competition but taking on Zarate could prove costly. Zarate almost ends it in the first as he hurts Sakurai with the first punch he lands and proceeds to wack Sakurai with rights and lefts but give Sakurai credit he withstood the barrage and fought back nicely towards the end of the round. Nice action in the second as Sakurai mixes it up with Zarate, advantage Zarate, Sakurai suffers a cut above the right eye. Ringside physician examines it but the bout continues. Another great round for Zarate as he is doing some incredible body work. Sakurai has his best round of the fight as he clearly outboxes Zarate. The cut above Sakurai's right eye has not been a problem as it hasn't opened in two rounds. I spoke to soon 15 seconds into the fifth the cut is reopend and the ringside physician says he cannot continue. Winner by TKO here in the fifth. Carlos Zarate. Hell of a way to lose your first bout. Sakurai is tough look forward to seeing him again. Zarate remains unbeaten and moves to 22-0-0-22

#1 Roberto Rubaldino 26-0-0-24 vs #27 Satoshi Shingaki 16-0-0-14


Both sluggers are in excellant shape for this 10 rounder. The prime Rubaldino is heavily favored over the pre-prime Shingaki. I have a feeling there are gonna be some bombs thrown in this one. And man did the first not disappoint both men just traded heavy, heavy shots advantage to Rubaldino and Shingaki will now have to deal with swelling that is evident under the left eye. A huge round for Rubaldino as he pastes Shingaki with lefts and rights. Shingaki's left eye is really gonna be a problem as the fight progresses as it is looking angry as the round closes. The third is moving along slowly when out of no where a Shingaki right drops Rubaldino for the first time in his career. He struggles to rise at eight and is pummelled for the remainder of the round and now his eye is showing major swelling. As the fourth begins Rubaldino's eye looks worse then Shingaki's. What a fight Rubaldino charges back in the fifth and drops Shingaki with a three punch salvo. Shingaki rises at five but is definately hurt, he gets on his bicycle and manages to avoid any further punishment. Both men come out flat footed in the fifth and a perfectly thrown uppercut drops Shingaki for a three count. Rubaldino doesn't go wild he takes his time and a well placed cross drops Shingaki again and this time he is counted out. Great win for Rubaldino in one hell of a fight.

#4 Chan-Yong Park 26-0-0-10 vs #26 Alberto Sandoval 16-1-0-12


Both boxers are in great shape for this 10 rounder. The pre-prime Sandoval is taking a big step up in competition taking on the prime Park. Decent opening round definately a feeling out round edge to Park as he landed the harder punches. Nice round for Sandoval as he is able to tag Park with some crisp combos. Very even third round as both men have their moments. Very slow fourth as the pace has slowed, neither man really stood out in that round. The fifth is a back and forth round as Sandoval wins the early part, Park the middle and Sandoval closes it with a huge combo, round to Sandoval. Park is warned for leaning on the neck. Park wins the sixth as Sandoval does very little fighting. Park wins the seventh as he lands the cleaner harder blows, Sandoval lands when he throws he's just not throwing. Park is warned for using his shoulder. Park wins the eighth as he is doing just enough to edge Sandoval, Sandoval is warned for using his shoulder. Sandoval wins the ninth as he senses he needs a knockout to win and lands some huge punches on Park's jaw but Park takes the punches well. Sandoval wins the tenth as Park seems confident he had the decision and didn't want to chance anything. To the scorecards. 97-93 Sandoval...96-95 Park and 96-95 for the winner by split decison Alberto Sandoval...Judge Gerald Ritter who had the score 97-93 needs to be investigated, I have no problem with the other two judges. Great win for Sandoval. Park shutting down in the tenth definately hurt him.
