REPORT

DeMarco-Tyner full report
By Felipe Leon; Photos: Leonso Nunez FightNews August 24th, 2014[2]
The small mountainous enclave of Tecate, Baja California, Mexico was the host to an electrifying crowd of about two 
thousand in an arena erected by Zanfer Promotions in the heart of the town. The fight night, which was broadcast live 
in Mexico by Azteca, was brought to the small town as part of the seventy year celebration of the founding of the 
Tecate beer company. In the main event, former WBC lightweight champion Antonio “Tony” DeMarco (31-3-1, 23KO) came 
back from a six-month long hiatus to score a unanimous decision over late-sub Lanardo Tyner (31-11-2, 20KO) in a ten 
round bout contested in the welterweight division.
After losing his title to Adrien Broner and his contract ending with long-time promoter Gary Shaw, DeMarco of Tijuana 
by way of Los Mochis, Mexico, has found himself fighting exclusively in Mexico as he makes the adjustment to a higher 
weight class and to new trainer Freddie Roach. Since that lass to “The Problem” back in late 2012, DeMarco has strung 
together two wins over Fidel Monterrosa and Jesus Gurrola, both stopped in the fifth and second respectively. The 
experienced Tyner was just the opposite with a two-fight losing streak dropping a majority decision in Poland to 
Lukasz Maciec and a split to Chris Pearson. Detroit’s Tyner in a forty-three fight professional career has face the 
likes of Jessie Vargas, Wale Omotoso and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. He owns a win over “Vicious” Vivian Harris.
It looks as if DeMarco had gotten more than he bargained for early in the first round when the much shorter Tyner Came 
in with a perfectly placed over hand right flush to the cheek of the southpaw DeMarco which sent the local favorite 
down to the canvas for only the second time in his career. Visibly hurt and surprised by the Tyner power, DeMarco 
looked to survive the hard charging attack from his opponent. Tyner was able to land a number of hard power shots to 
the head that wobbled DeMarco but the Mexican was able to stay on his feet. DeMarco recouped well enough by the middle 
of the round to come back and score his signature long straight left that forced Tyner to take a step back.
With emotions flying high, things got heated in the second with histrionics from both as DeMarco wanted to prove that 
his chin is indeed made of granite as he signaled for Tyner to hit him. Not to be left behind, Tyner did the same as 
they exchanged power punches in the middle of the ring. The crowd got into it in the third with a sing-a-long of the 
traditional Mexican tune “Cielito Lindo” hoping that the song would push DeMarco forward.
DeMarco inexplicably gave up his height as he made himself small and stood right in front of Tyner exchanging power 
shots with DeMarco emphasizing a right hook to the body. Tyner pity-patted DeMarco with uppercuts and right hooks 
before really laying into his punches and scoring with the same combinations but with power behind them. DeMarco 
followed his lead and did the same but he would punctuate his series of punches with that right hook to the body.
The pace slowed down in the second half of the fight with both looking for the fight but with less punches. The fight 
fell into a pattern of inside fighting with both scoring to the head and body well but with DeMarco the busier fighter. 
DeMarco at times would remember that he was the taller fighter and would stay on the outside and do work while doubling 
his jab followed with the straight left.
Tyner came out looking for DeMarco in the ninth but DeMarco was able to hold him at bay staying longer on the outside 
and in the tenth Tyner went after DeMarco hard at the bell, looking to score another big punch like he did in the first. 
This time DeMarco was ready and was able to counter the attack all the way to the bell.
After ten entertaining rounds, DeMarco was announced the winner with scores of 98-92 three times.
“He was a tough fighter and strong,” DeMarco said after the fight. “I had to eat some to make the welterweight limit 
since I was getting ready to fight at 142 lbs. but since the original opponent fell out, I had to face Tyner.”
DeMarco also shared whom he wants to fight next. “I want to come back before the end of the year. I think a fight with 
Jessie Vargas would be something the fans and HBO would like to see.”

Ortega Keeps Winning
Popular Tijuana featherweight Edivaldo “Indio” Ortega (19-0-1, 10KO) kept his fan base happy by stopping Filipino rival 
Rey “Flash” Perez (19-6, 4KO) in the sixth of a scheduled ten rounds.
The southpaw Ortega is not known for any dominating characteristic, he is not a hard puncher, not a great boxer or 
courageous brawler but he does get the job done which he did against the game Perez.
After an initial first round of study, Ortega was a bit more aggressive in the second and went after the mobile Perez. 
As he trapped him against the ropes, Ortega came in with his head and hurt Perez who went down to a knee. Referee Juan 
Morales Lee flubbed the call and instead of helping Perez up, he gave him an eight-count.
Ortega began to punish the body well by the third round and began to expose Perez as not of his level with the constant 
pressure he was executing. By the fourth round the fight fell into the usual Ortega pattern of not being all that 
exciting or impressive but constantly landing punches, not with power but more than his opponent.
Surprisingly after a successful round where he used lateral movement and scored well with a series of uppercuts but 
fatigue settling in, Perez did not answer the bell for the sixth round and instead walked across the ring to 
congratulate Ortega for a well done. Official time was ten seconds of the sixth for the TKO win for Ortega.

“Furioso” Guzman Remains Undefeated
In the best fight of the night, Ensenada, Mexico’s Rafael “Furioso” Guzman (14-0, 9KO) was awarded a trinket entitled 
the Baja California state title when he manhandled former amateur foe Sergio “Checho” Ortega (13-1-1, 8KO) of Mexicali 
over eight junior welterweight rounds to earn a well deserved unanimous decision. The aggressive Guzman pushed the fight 
from the opening bell and used his controlled aggression against Ortega well scoring to the body with hard left hooks to 
the liver. Ortega, a bit more technical, was able to counterpunch but Guzman’s punches landed harder through out the night. 
By the third Ortega looked like a deer caught in the headlights, as he had no answer for Guzman’s constant attack. He did 
manage to catch Guzman coming in with a set of power punches but it wasn’t enough to stop the Guzman locomotive.
A powerful well-placed left hook to the liver by Guzman dropped Ortega in the early going of the fifth round. Ortega 
struggled to get to his feet and nearly did not beat the count administered by referee Juan Morales Lee. Guzman went for 
the finish for the remainder of the round but was not able to land another meaningful blow to the body that would have 
clearly stopped Ortega in his tracks. Guzman went for the kill for the remainder of the fight landing a couple of over 
hand rights flush to the face in the sixth but Ortega was able to survive and in the seventh began landing his own rights 
but it was too little too late. With the fight in the bag, Guzman boxed the perimeter of the ring in the eighth and final 
round. The announced scores were 80-71, 78-73 and 79-70 for Guzman.

Elvis Torres Edges Ayala
In a super bantamweight six rounder between undefeated up and coming Tijuana prospects, Elvis Ayala (8-0, 5KO) did just 
enough to get the win over Cristian “Coralillo” Ayala (7-1, 4KO) with a close unanimous decision. Torres, an amateur 
standout from the region, still fights in that style, darting in and out and not scoring his punches with power but just 
tapping them in while Ayala, who is rumored to have never fought an amateur style, looks to hurt his opponent with every 
punch. Ayala made his right hand a factor in the first couple of rounds, scoring it easily either straight or as an 
uppercut. Torres was having trouble defending against the punch but inexplicably Ayala used it less and less as the fight 
progressed. Torres, a southpaw, scored well with his own straight left but to the stomach that paid dividends in the later 
rounds as Ayala began to slow. With the fight presumably close, the sixth and final round was all action as Ayala closed 
well going back to the right hand but Torres was able to keep up with his own batch of quick combinations. Judges Carlos 
Flores and Jesus Gonzalez scored it 58-56 each for Torres while Sergio Lechuga had it 60-54, all for Torres.

Other Results:
Twin Eduardo Baez (3-0) dominated Tijuana’s Jose “Sonrics” Suarez (4-3) over four rounds in the super bantamweight division. 
Suarez gave as good as he got but Baez was able to score better from the outside especially in the fourth and final round 
when Suarez had drained the tanks. Baez of Mexicali, Mexico, scored a number of long right hands that stopped “Sonrics” in 
his tracks. Scores were 40-36 three times.
Other twin Leonardo Baez (5-0, 3KO) of Mexicali won an easy unanimous decision over Puerto Rico’s Bryan Aquino (0-1) over 
four bantamweight rounds.
Oscar Arce (11-2, 6KO), nephew of four-time divisional champion Jorge Arce, forced Carlos “Foco” Mendoza (1-13-1) of Tijuana 
to not answer the bell for the 5th round or a scheduled super flyweight six. The taller Mendoza never was able to establish 
his jab, as Arce was able to get on the inside and punish him to the body. Mendoza had his moments but Arce threw and landed 
more punches. Official time was :10 of the fifth.
Tijuana lightweight Omar Valenzuela (8-2-2, 4KO) did quick work of Mario “Ippo” Hernandez (0-2-1) also of Tijuana. Valenzuela 
was clearly the better and bigger fighter. Hernandez was game but just no match for the more technical Valenzuela. Referee 
Juan Morales Lee had seen enough by the 1:22 mark of the second round of a schedule four.

In a closely contested eight rounder in the lightweight division, Sergio “Tarasco” Nuñez (12-1, 8KO) was awarded a split 
decision over late-sub Rafael Reyes (13-2, 10KO) of Chihuahua. The much bigger Nuñez of Sylmar, CA, imposed his size early on 
but Reyes was able to score more in the second half of the fight with quick three punch combinations right down the middle. 
Nuñez looked for the knockout in the last round with the fight close but Reyes was able to survive until the final round. 
Judge Sergio Lechuga scored it for Reyes with 76-75 but was overruled by Julian Palumbo and Jesus Gonzalez who saw it 77-74 
and 76-75 respectively for Nuñez.
Local fighter Joel “Wenjo” Mora (1-0-1, 1KO) and Gustavo Rivas (0-0-1) of Tijuana fought to a featherweight four round split 
draw. One judge saw it for Mora with a score 39-37 while another scored it the same but for Rivas. The third judge saw it an 
even 38-38.
Phoenix, AZ’s David Benavides (5-0, 5KO) yet again stopped another over matched fighter in Jairo Dolores (0-1) of Tijuana. 
Time was 1:54 of the first round of four scheduled in the super middleweight division.

DE MARCO IMPARTE CLASE
Box noticias Posted on agosto 23, 2014[3]
Antonio De Marco se repuso a un inicio de pánico y a un estilo extravagante pero efectivo del experimentado 
y fogueado boxeador norteamericano Lanardo Tyner, para lograr una sufrida pero bien trabajada victoria por 
decisión unánime este sábado, en la pelea principal de la función que presentó Zanfer en la ciudad de Tecate.
De Marco (31-3-0, 23 ko´s) pasó un susto mayor en el primer round, cuando Tyner (31-11-2, 20 ko´s) le conectó 
un preciso volado en pleno mentón que lo hizo visitar la lona.
Esto motivó al llamado ¨Pain Server¨ Tyner, quien forzó la pelea en corto y repitió combinaciones ante un De 
Marco entre desconcertado, y como queriendo vengarse de esa caída.
Sin embargo, cuando la esquina de ¨Tony¨ pudo acomodarlo en la distancia que más le convenía, cuando lo asentó 
sobre el ring para que pensara antes de ejecutar y cuando le hicieron ver que en este caso, la paciencia era 
mejor que el coraje, la pela cambió de tono y fue de un boxeo de alta escuela, efectivo, de coordinación de 
pies y manos para De Marco, quien en el transcurso de los rounds, conectaba hasta al 2 o 3 por uno.
Tyner quería confundir a De Marco. Le sonreía, le abría los brazos, brincaba y se movía de manera extraña y 
hasta parecía que se burlaba del ex campeón mundial. Pero ¨Tony¨ ya estaba en lo suyo, en ser el mandón sobre 
el ring y en ganar de manera clara esta contienda.
Al finalizar el quinto round, De Marco y Tyner siguieron intercambiando golpes y hacia el final de la contienda, 
ya fue una clase de boxeo la que el mexicano le dio al estadounidense, quien sin embargo, no dejaba de ser 
peligroso al contragolpe. Lanardo Tyner, que nunca ha sido noqueado en su carrera y se ha medido a peleadores 
de elite, cumplió y brindó una pelea entretenida, pero tras ese susto inicial y los momentos hasta cómicos que 
Tyner tuvo en el ring, ¨Tony¨ se apuntó una justa y merecida victoria por decisión unánime, cuando los jueces 
Carlos Flores, Sergio Lechuga y Jesús González coincidieron en apuntar en sus tarjetas el 98-92 a su favor.

Edivaldo Ortega impuso su boxeo agresivo y fortaleza, para primero dominar y luego arrollar al filipino Rey 
Pérez, quien prefirió ya no salir a combatir para el sexto round. El ¨Indio¨ Ortega (19-0-0, 10 ko´s) fue 
siempre al frente, fue un peligro constante a la distancia y muy efectivo en corto. El ¨Flash¨ Pérez (19-6-0, 
4 ko´s) quiso anular a su rival con movimientos defensivos, de piernas, cintura y cabeza, pero se quedó en el 
intento. Podía quitarse el primer golpe, o el segundo, pero nunca frenó el ímpetu de Ortega, quien insistió, 
conectó y repitió.
El tijuanense envió a la lona a Pérez en el tercer round, y fue ganando cada round de manera clara. Su golpeo 
a la zona abdominal fue acusado de manera contundente por el filipino, quien perdió movilidad y reflejos, y 
cuyos golpes carecían de contundencia. Con el rostro inflamado, la boca sangrante y la resistencia ya 
disminuida, Pérez prefirió quedarse sentado en su esquina para iniciar el sexto round. Por primera vez en su 
carrera, fue noqueado. Y el ¨Indio¨ ganó su primera pelea internacional. Es un prospecto que promete y que por 
lo pronto, ya escaló al siguiente nivel.

Rafael Guzmán y Sergio Ortega subieron al ring con marca de 13-0. Sólo uno bajaría invicto y con el simbólico 
titulo de Campeón de Baja California en peso Superligero. Y ese el ¨Furioso¨ de Ensenada.
Rafael ¨Furioso¨ Guzmán (14-0-0, 9 ko´s) impuso su fortaleza y estilo agresivo, para superar en pelea de mucha 
acción y constantes emociones al mexicalense Sergio ¨Checho¨ Ortega (13-1-0, 8 ko´s) en combate en el que 
estuvo en juego el campeonato Estatal de Baja California, en peso Superligero.
Ortega fue el dominador en los primeros dos rounds, manejando ritmo y distancia. Cuando Guzmán pretendía forzar 
la pelea en corto, el ¨Checho¨ buscaba impedírselo de cualquier manera e incluso en el cuarto round conectó dos 
golpes debajo del cinturón que le costaron que el réferi Juan Morales Lee le bajara un punto. Cuando la 
contienda vivía sus mejores momentos, con un Ortega que dominaba a la distancia y se cambiaba de guardia, y un 
Guzmán que buscaba forzar la pelea en corto, vino el golpe que le dio el giro definitivo al encuentro.
Un poderoso gancho de zurda de Guzmán se impactó de lleno en el hígado de Ortega. Incluso, el guante se quedó 
¨clavado¨ en el costado del ¨Checho¨ por unos instantes. De inmediato, el mexicalense se fue a la lona y se 
levantó con dificultades a la cuenta de ocho. Entro abrazos y huidas, terminó el round. Después, Ortega ya no 
pudo apretar y el ¨Furioso¨, crecido y motivado, fue el mandón sobre el ring.
La pelea se fue a la distancia, ocho rounds, y los jueces le hicieron justicia al nuevo campeón estatal de las 
140 libras. Los jueces Carlos Flores (78-73), Sergio Lechuga (80-71) y Jesús González (79-70) dieron su veredicto 
a favor del ¨Furioso¨, quien recibió su medallón correspondiente acompañado de las Chicas Tecate.

Eduardo Báez (3-0-0) ejecutó su boxeo fino y de precisos movimientos, ofensivos y defensivos, para vencer por 
decisión unánime al más experimentado José ¨Sonrics¨ Suárez (4-3-0, 1 ko) en un combate entretenido, en el que 
Báez siempre dictó condiciones. Los tres jueces vieron ganador a ¨Lalo¨, que conservó su invicto con puntuación 
de 40-36 de los tres jueces, en pelea de peso Supermosca.
Oscar Arce, sobrino del ¨Travieso¨, impuso su boxeo y paciencia, para vencer por nocaut técnico en el quinto 
round al tozudo calador tijuanense, Carlos ¨Foco¨ Mendoza, en combate programado a seis rounds en peso Supermosca. 
Arce (11-2-0, 6 ko´s) fue al frente y enseñó buena técnica, pero Mendoza (5-6-0, 1 ko) se le dificultó en los dos 
primeros rounds con su larga guardia zurda. Cuando el ¨Traviesito¨ repitió combinaciones e impuso ritmo y 
distancia, el ¨Foco¨ fue cada vez más lento y predecible, hasta que su esquina optó porque ya no saliera a 
combatir para el quinto asalto.
