Round 2:

Carlos Palomino vs Alfredo Cota - Palomino got of to his usual slow start allowing Cota to pile up a lead then came out in the 6th round and scored 2 knockdowns, the final one for the count at the end of the round.

Jose Luis Lopez vs Jose Luis Cruz - Lopez came out too defensive minded in this one, allowing Cruiz to hang out way too long despite a pair of knockdowns in the 10th round. A gash on the eyelid of the left eye of Cruz ended things in the 14th to avoid the scorecards. (I had it 7-5 Lopez while Andreas Raht had it 8-4) The judges had it 8-4 6-6 7-4 for Lopez in a closer than expected fight.

Antonio Margarito vs Rodolfo Gomez - Margarito dominated until the 8th round when Gomez shocked everyone with a strong hook to the temple that dropped him for an 8 count. Margarito got up and survived the round then proceded to continue his domination, scoring a pair of knockdowns in the 13th enroute to the 13 TKO.

Gaspar Ortega vs Juan Carlos Sanchez - Another case of a heavy favorite allowing his man to be competitive as Ortega was kocked down in the 8th round. Ortega came on strong in the latter part of the fight, and in my eyes had it 8-5 while Steve McCarthy had it 7-5, both for Ortega. The judges scored it more decicive at 10-5, 10-5, 9-6 for Ortega.

Pipino Cuevas vs Ramon Tiscareno - Cuevas was a man on a mission, scoring his 2nd straight KO in the 1st round in this tournament. At this point I'd say he's the most feared warrior in the weight class due to his astounding power!

Ramon Campas vs Carlos Gonzalez - Campas hurt Gonzalez early and often, finally scoring a knockdown in the 8th round then continuing to punish him until the referee finally ended things in the 10th round. Most in attendance were wondering why the fight wasnt' stopped far sooner as Gonzalez couldn't see out of his left eye, was cut over both eyes and was hurt for most of the fight due to the power of Campas.

Alfonso Gomez vs Alvaro Gutierrez - Guitierrez kept pressuring Gomez in this entertaining boxer-slugger matchup and it paid off in the 6th round when he put Gomez down for the count.

Juan Padilla vs Jorge Vaca - Vaca landed a low blow late in the 3rd and Padilla came out with a vengance in the 4th to score the TKO late in the round after a devastating knockdown had Vaca unable to defend himself.
