Jr Lightweight Third Round
Hector Camacho, Sr. 75-22-4 (27) vs Gabriel Ruelas 13-7-1 (7)
For the second straight bout, Camacho's speed overwhelmed a tough rival and he sliced up Gabe's face with combinations before dropping him late in round eleven and three times in round twelve for the automatic stoppage.
Jose Luis Castillo 86-16-2 (54) vs Humberto Soto 54-25-4 (27)
Rematch: Castillo MD12
Castillo set the tone early when he floored Soto with a pinpoint hook for a nine count in round two. Soto surged in the mid rounds and his combos drew blood from JLC's right eye and swelling from his left, but Castillo grit his teeth and hammered his countryman down the stretch with hooks to the head and body to earn the entertaining UD. 116-111 & 116-112 x2
Joel Casamayor 39-1-1 (20) vs Leonel Hernandez 14-6-1 (7)
Casmayor came out aggressively in the first two rounds, rocking Hernandez with hard left hands behind stiff jabs. When it became apparent that leonel wasn't going anywhere Joel settled in for a workmanlike performance the rest of the way to take a clear UD. 117-111 x2 & 116-112
Roger Mayweather 50-9-2 (33) vs Frankie Baltazar 16-4-1 (9)
Roger scored with lead right hands all night, one of which put Frankie flat on his face to end the one sided fight in round six.
Kid Chocolate 43-2-1 (20) vs Wilfredo Gomez 79-13-1 (61)
Another tourney ended for 'Bazooka', this time with a nasty beating at the hands of the Cuban. Chocolate closed Wilfredo's left eye and had his right gushing blood when a three punch combo put Gomez down for the count in round eleven.
Gabriel Elorde 38-3 (21) vs Hyun-Chi Kim 12-9 (5)
Flash was dominant, flooring Kim four times including twice in round twelve and the ref rescued the floundering South Korean later in the final round.
Chan Ka Kui 42-3-1 (21) vs Kuniaki Shibata 14-6-1 (5)
You don't see many high profile fights between Chinese and Japanese fighters so there was a lot of emotion involved and things were very tight when Kui dropped Shibata in round seven and exploded with a barrage of shots that prompted the TKO.
Yuriorkis Gamboa 39-9 (25) vs Jeff Fenech 72-15-3 (47)
Gamboa put forth a tremendous effort, staggering the hard charging Aussie throughout the contest and absorbing some ferocious body shots from Jeff before dropping him at the end of the sixth with a short right and then knocking Fenech out cold in the seventh with a ridiculous four punch combination.
