Bantamweights Third Round
Fidel LaBarba 71-8-4 (17) vs Johnny Coulon 19-3 (5)
The first punch Johnny landed was a stiff jab that opened a bad cut under LaBarba's right eye, Coulon continued to score with that punch while Fidel worked the body in what was a fairly even round until a 3 punch combo rocked LaBarba in the final ten seconds. They immediately got the cut under control but Coulon still scored well with his jab and right hand until the sixth round when Fidel started smothering him and taking away the jab, it didn't make for exciting action but LaBarba completely stifled his foe in the second half of the bout and took the UD. 118-112, 116-112 & 116-113
Wilfredo Gomez 70-10-1 (54) vs Hozumi Hasegawa 35-7 (8)
Rematch: Gomez UD12
Hasegawa fought a completely defensive fight against his powerful rival and it looked like he might last the distance for a second time, but Wilfredo floored him with a combo late in round ten and dropped him again in the eleventh and twice in the twelfth; the last time for the count courtesy of a vicious hook.
Jesus Pimentel 18-3 (11) vs Rafael Herrera 16-4-2 (2)
Pimentel pressed the issue and had early success with hooks downstairs and to the head while Rafael countered with heavy hooks and uppercuts that started to take their toll and Herrera exploded off the ropes in round eight with a 4 punch combo that was punctuated with an uppercut that crashed into Jesus' chin and put him face first for the ten count.
Manuel Ortiz 36-5 (18) vs Bernardo Caraballo 17-3-2 (7)
After an uneventful opening round, Ortiz landed a hard right hand that dropped Caraballo early in the second for a seven count and he continued to hammer him until another thunderous right hand put him flat on his back for the ten count.
