Mexico - Lightweights - Semi-Finals & Final
Semi-Finals:
Jose Luis Castillo vs Mario Trigo - Castillo dominated Trigo from the opening bell. When Trigo would stand in and fight, scoring points well, it only made Castillo step it up a notch, wearing Trigo down with the volume of punches until the 8th when Trigo went down 2 times and was bloodied before the fight was stopped near the end of the 8th round for the TKO by Castillo.
Juan Diaz vs Arturo Lomeli - Tight battle that saw Lomeli give the young Diaz fits at times. In the end it was the cleverness of Lomeli in my eyes and the eyes of Mark Somogyi (7-6 & 7-5 repsectively) that made the difference. The judges agreed, scoring it 7-5, 7-5 & 8-4 for Lomeli who moves to the finals against Castillo.
Final:
Jose Luis Castillo vs Arturo Lomeli - Castillo's punches started swelling around both of Lomeli's eyes in the 1st round and it was all down hill from there as he battered his man unmercifully until a cut above the eyebrow became a gash in the 7th to send Castillo to the World Tournament with a 7 TKO win!
