Jr Welterweight Bouts Feb 86


Special two card event first card is Night of Debut's

Bruno Arcari 0-0-0-0 vs Mark Nichols 0-4-0-0


Great debut by Arcari who scores the shutout in unanimous fashion with scores of 40-35 across the board. Arcari dropped Nichols for a nine count in the first but was unable to finish him.

Antonio Cervantes 0-0-0-0 vs Mark Wilson 0-5-0-0


The highly antcipated debut of Cervantes goes as expected as he totally outclasses Wilson. Wilson had to contend with a swollen right eye from the first round on and was practically closed by the fourth. Scores 40-36 twice and 39-37 for Cervantes. Cervantes outlanded Wilson 162-56.

Roger Zami 0-0-0-0 vs Tom Hickman 0-2-0-0


Zami's debut didn't go as planned as a very close fight swung in Hickman's favor when he scored a flash knockdown in the fourth round. Scores 38-37 Hickman, 38-37 Zami and 39-37 for Hickman. Punch totals were in favor of Zami 91-87.

Rene Roque 0-0-0-0 vs Adam Smith 0-3-1-0


Another debut down the drain as Roque is just out worked by Smith. Scores 39-37 twice and 38-38. Smith the busier of the two outlanded Roque 87-63.

Jose Luis Torcida 0-0-0-0 vs Jon Malott 0-4-0-0


The night of debut's is turning ugly as Torcida is outworked and drops a majority decision scores 39-37 twice and 38-38. I had it 38-38 myself but really can't complain about the decision.

Des Rea 0-0-0-0 vs Travis Carlson 0-6-0-0


Not the debut Rea was looking for but he'll take it a majority draw. Rea faces adversity in his pro debut as he suffered a bad gash over his right eye but didn't change his game plan. Scores 39-38 Rea and 38-38 twice. Carlson outlanded Rea 106-97.

Fight Card II

Paul Fijii 0-0-0-0 vs Isao Hakui 0-2-0-0


Impressive debut by Fujii. Very close fight after three rounds then Fujii explodes in the fourth scoring three knockdiowns to score the TKO.

Angel Vargas 0-0-0-0 vs Lowell Cluff 1-5-0-0


Very competative fight, Vargas started well domintating the first two rounds, the dropped the next two. Scores 38-38 across the board

#95 Moises Cantoja 10-3-0-1 vs # 79 Steve Hearon 12-3-1-7


The pre-prime boxer Cantoja and the pre-prime slugging Hearon are both in great shape for this 8 rounder. Cantoja is trying to rebound from three consecutive losses after winning his first ten. While Hearon is trying to rebound from a 10 round unanimous decision loss to Alberto Castro. Hearon starts well getting inside on Cantoja but 1:00 in Cantoja gets going and lands some wicked combos causing a bad gash above the right eye of Hearon. The doc examines it and the bout continues. Hearon is warned for leaning on Cantoja's neck. The cut above Hearon's right eye continues to bleed as round two gets under way. Great second round as both men land some clean shots, even round. Good third for Hearon who is busier then Cantoja. Hearon wins the third as again he is outlanding Cantoja. Give Hearons cutman credit as the cut hasn't bleed since the second. Great action round in the fifth as I jinxed Hearon and the cut is reopened again the doc allows the fight to continue. In a great back and fourth round advantage to Hearon. Another great round in the sixth as both men continue to mix it up. Edge to Hearon but could really go either way. Hearon appears to be running out of gas in the seventh and Cantajo takes advantage and lands numerous combos, Cantoja himself looks tired as the round closes. In the final round Cantojo comes out firing and rocks Hearon badly but is unable to follow up. Jimmy Lennon Jr with the decision. 77-76 Cantoja, 76-76 and 78-76 for Hearon a draw. Great fight wouldn't mind watching this one again.

#3 John Meekins 23-0-1-3 vs #29 Langton Tinago 20-1-1-4


Both of these prime boxers are in fantastic shape for this 10 rounder. Great opening round as bith men have their moments with the edge going to Tinago as his punches were alot cleaner.Great second round for Meekins as he is beating Tinago to the punch. Meekins wins a close third as both men are again very active, Tinago is definately landing the harder punches. Pace slows in the fourth as both men fight from long range,pretty close round,even on my card. Meekins clearly wins the fifth as Tinago doesn't land a punch. Another round for Meekins as he is now alot quicker then Tinago. Tinago maybe letting this chance slip away. Tinago steps it up in the seventh and Meekins counters everything, another round for Meekins. Not alot to choose from in the eighth slight edge to Tinago. Tinago looks tired as the ninth round begins and Meekins takes advantage just tattooing Tinago, Tinago lands some nice shots towards the end of the round but not enought to win the round. Meekins shuts it down in the tenth and is content to give the round away. Scorecards read 96-95 Meekins, 95-95 and 97-94 for the winner by majority decision John Meekins. Good win just don't like how he shut it down, made the fight alot closer then it should have been.

#9 Bruce Curry 23-1-2-13 vs #14 Lennox Blackmoore 16-0-0-4


The prime boxing Curry and the pre-prime boxing Blackmoore are in great shape for this 10 rounder. Pretty slow first round as both men are feeling eachother out. Curry seems to have injured his right hand. Good second round for Curry as lands some clean combos. Pretty close round that I feel Curry wins with a huge hook at the bell. Both men trade nicely in the fourth with Curry getting the better of it. Pretty slow fifth Blackmoore with the edge as he lands the cleaner blows. Big sixth for Curry as he is pasting Blackmoore with lefts and rights. Blackmoore is cut above the right eye by a Curry hook. The doc examines it and both men will continue on. Blackmoore is carrying his hand low as the seventh round begins and Curry lands a brutal hook that starts the blood flowing freely and referree Lou Moret waves it off. Great win for Curry who may get himself in title contention with this victory. Blackmoore suffers his first pro defeat. Judge Jerry Roth incredibly had Blackmoore ahead 58-57.

#1 Hector Thompson 23-1-0-8 vs #16 Roger Mayweather 14-0-0-8


The prime boxing Thompson and the pre-prime boxing Mayweather are in excellent shape for this 10 rounder. Mayweather is a 3-2 favorite coming into this bout. Many feel Thompson isn't a true number one contender as he has not beaten anyone of significance. Slow opening round as both men are tentative, edge to Mayweather as he is busier. Mayweather clearly wins the second as he lands some impressive counters. Thomspon fights offensively from the outside in the third and has his best round thus far with clean power shots. Mayweather wins a lackluster fourth as both men barely throw a punch. Mayweather wins another slow round, only action is Mayweather drawing a warning for using his shoulder. Thompson moves outsied again in the sixth and wins it easily again, that's were he needs to keep the fight as he does his best work from the outside. Close seventh could go to either man. Another very close round, both men land some bombs but both absorb the punches well.Thompson wins the ninth as he stalked Mayweather and landed some major shots, but again is unable to hurt Mayweather. Mayweather easily wins the tenth as Thompson is to tired to make a puch. To the scorecards. 96-94 Mayweather, 96-95 Thompson and 95-95 a Draw. Close fight but I thought Mayweather deserved the decision. Thompson may not have beaten anyone of significance but he hung tough. He will need to fight better if he wishes to remain atop the division. Mayweather outlanded Thomspon 209-180
