Fight Of The Month

Betulio Gonzalez (16-0-1-9) VS Antonio Avelar (17-0-2-14)

Both pre-prime sluggers Betulio Gonzalez (16-0-1-9) and Antonio Avelar (17-0-2-14) entered the ring with one thing in mind, to capture the SABC Flyweight Championship. And what a show these two put on. From the opening bell you knew you were gonna be treated to an all out war. In the first both men came out looking for the kayo and defense went out the window as both men scored with damaging blows. Late in the second Gonzalez landed a hook uppercut combo that dropped Avelar for a 3 count. Both men continued to slug it out over the next four rounds with Avelar seeming to get the better of it. As the seventh round began both men looked tired and at 1:34 a Gonzalez hook shook Avelar badly. Avelar managed to stay away and clinch to survive the round. In the ninth Avelar's corner felt he was behind and sent him out for the kill and at 1:58 a sizzling hook dropped Gonzalez, Gonzalez struggled to get to his feet by eight. Gonzalez got on his bicycle and managed to avoid further trouble. Both men came out in the tenth looking to end it and again both men stood and traded heavy shots with Avelar again getting the better of it. When the eleventh round started it was now Gonzalez' corner who felt he was behind and implored him to go after Avelar and go after him he did. at :40 a Gonzalez hook dropped Avelar for a 4 count Avelar was given the mandatory eight count. Gonzalez went right after Avelar and landed a hook to the body that reverbirated thru the arena and Avelar slumped to his knees. Avelar didn't look like he would beat the count but he was able to rise at eight. With over a minute to go in the round I was sure Gonzalez was gonna close the show but Avelar showed resiliancy and managed to remain upright. In the final round this fight was up for grabs and both men went for it. As both men stood and traded an Avelar hook buckled Gonzalez' legs badly, Gonzalez was forced to grab to remain on his feet. Avelar follwed up and landed two more brutal shots but Gonzalez was able to withstand it. Both men hugged exhausted as the final bell sounded. The scores were 114-110 for Gonzalez, 112-112 and 113-112 for Avelar. I don't think anyone was upset by the decision a truely great bout. And we can look forward to these two doing it again in a few months.

Espana earns the nod with his huge upset vicory over highly favored Pipino Cuevas. Not only was it an upset but Espana completely dominated Cuevas to capture the SABC Welterweight Championship with an eighth round stoppage.
