Full Report: Salido-Kokietgym[3] By Felipe Leon Photos: Renzo Novara FightNews September 21st, 2014 It was a wild-wild west affair last night at the Tijuana Municipal Auditorium as a total of twenty knockdowns, seven in the main event, were witnessed by a nearly sold out enthusiastic crowd. Two world titles were contested in an event presented by Zanfer Promotions and broadcast live by the Azteca channel in Mexico and BEIN Sports in the U.S. In the main event, former featherweight champ Orlando “Siri” Salido (42-12-2, 29KO) captured the interim WBO 130lb title with an eleventh round KO win over the tough as nails Terdsak Kokietgym (53-5-1, 33KO) in rough and tumble fight of the year candidate. Both men went down multiple times as they left it all in the ring in a fight that ignited the crowd and made Kokietgym a local hero for his display of grit and heart, two virtues Mexican fight fans love. Salido lost his featherweight title in his last fight by coming in overweight in his fight against Vasyl Lomachenko last March. Salido gave Lomachenko a rude welcoming to the pro ranks as he beat him via a split decision. Salido quickly after announced his graduation to the 130-pound division with a direct shot at the interim title. The championship bout marked only the fourth time he traveled outside of Asia. The three times before he faced top-level opposition and came up short against Joan Guzman, Juan Manuel Marquez and Steven Luevano. His last loss was two years ago when he challenged Japanese Takahiro Ao for the WBC title. The southpaw Kokietgym made his presence known early on with a right hook that dropped Salido in the first round but the Mexican out of Ciudad Obregon returned the favor a minute later with a hook to the body. Every punch thrown by both men was with bad intentions and as Salido looked to close the round he was hurt by a straight left flush to the face. Salido began to score with uppercuts from either fist through the middle and coupling them with hooks in the second but near the of the round Kokietgym of Bangkok, Thiland, erased all the work by seating Salido on the canvas with another straight left. Not to be deterred, Salido continued with his constant pressure as Kokietgym, who seemed to hit a bit harder, countered with that straight that didn’t seem to miss. It looked that Salido had scored another knockdown in the fourth after landing a right hook but the referee Eddie Claudio called it a slip. Salido kept plugging along and before the end of the round he did score the knockdown near the end of the round. Looking for the finish early in the fifth, Salido was put down by another straight left between the Mexican’s power punches. By this point it looked that Kokietgym was slowing down and Salido was warmed up as “Siri” pushed the fight with constant pressure. With Salido landing a number of punches and Kokietgym’s back against the ropes, referee Eddie Claudio jumped in and broke them up thinking the bell had rung. Salido’s corner began celebrating before Claudio was able to bring back order and ordered them to continue. The tide changed in the last round and Kokietgym changed his strategy as he began to box from the outside instead of going head-on against Salido as he did in the first six rounds. It didn’t matter as Salido caught him against the ropes and landed a barrage of punches that dropped the Thai once again. Kokietgym was now working on pure heart and determination while Salido landed head snapping uppercuts. A right hand snapped Kokietgym’s head back in the middle of the eight and in the ninth the Asian fought most of his round with his hounds down and moving around the perimeter of the ring. The Thai had his second win in the tenth as he threw caution to the wind and brought the fight to Salido keeping the action up close and scoring good punches with Salido’s back on the ropes. Salido was able to counterpunch well but Kokietgym showed a granite chin until the next round when Salido scored a three- punch combo punctuated with a left uppercut that crumbled Kokietgym to the canvas. Referee Eddie Claudio didn’t administer a count and instead called for the ringside doctor. After some tense minutes, Kokietgym recuperated. Official time was :16 of the 11th round. After the bout, most of the crowd made their way to the exits including the ambulance. Since a fight can’t commence with no medical personnel present, there was a forty-five delay for the walk-out bouts to get going. “Cobrita” Mendoza Gets Crowned at Home Twenty-three year old Javier “Cobrita” Mendoza (22-2-1, 18KO) became the first male Tijuana-based world champion since November of 2012 by scoring a unanimous decision over Ramon “Principe” Garcia (20-5-1, 12KO) of La Paz, Mexico, to capture the vacant IBF junior flyweight title in an exciting twelve round fight. Mendoza had not seen action in more than a year. His last fight was against Ricardo Armenta, who he stopped in the third round of a scheduled six, in June of 2013. Garcia on the other hand had fought three times in that time period with three straight wins, two inside the distance. With a new trainer, Fernando Fernandez who is best known for working with Erik Morales, Mendoza kept his aggressive southpaw style but was more focused on defense as he controlled his aggression and worked behind a high guard. Mendoza set a fast pace early as he went to the body that proved to paid dividends later in the fight. Garcia was more accurate but Mendoza was quicker and busier but still missed some big punches early on. Garcia, also a southpaw, began putting punches in bunches in the third and near the end of the round scored with a left hook that wobbled Mendoza and he looked hurt as he walked back to his corner. Thinking that he had the answer, Garcia began to look for a huge overhand left but missed a number of them. Mendoza staid calm and continued to go to the body as Garcia brought the fight to him. In the fifth Mendoza scored with a huge left hook to the body that doubled Garcia over. Garcia leaned over as he covered up his mid-section and got up close to Mendoza in hopes of stopping any attack to the area. There was no stopping Mendoza as he looked for openings and freely scored with left and right hooks to the body and finally scored a knockdown with a left uppercut to the mouth of the stomach. Since both were dangerously going south of the waist, referee Wayne McCullough began the sixth with a warning to both fighters. Mendoza began to stalk Garcia completely focused on the body while the man from La Paz looked for that big overhand left. Garcia boxed more as he circled the ring and stopped only to throw one or two punches in Mendoza’s direction, some scoring and some not. One that did score was low to the leg of “Cobrita” which gave him a charly horse and prompted the referee to take a point. The rhythm slowed in the tenth as Mendoza kept looking for the body while Garcia kept moving. Surprisingly with the fight virtually won, Mendoza went out had mixed it up in the 12th and final round and gave the crowd a fight until the finish as his hometown chanted his name towards a win. At the end it was no surprise when Mendoza was announced as the new IBF light flyweight world champion with scores of 115-110 twice and 116-109. “Cobrita Jr” Gonzalez Gets Gift A home-cooked decision was awarded to Alejandro “Cobrita Jr” Gonzalez (24-1-2, 15KO) in an eight rounder in the featherweight division against Alem Robles (6-6-2, 2KO) of Ciudad Obregon, Mexico. Gonzalez from Guadalajara but fights out of LA and has made Tijuana his second home was dropped to the canvas and was taken a point for a low blow but still surprisingly still won the fight despite Robles landing the more telling shots. Robles’ main weapon was his right uppercut as it found its mark more than any other punch. The slightly taller Gonzalez looked for the body but Robles sent him to the canvas the first time in the third with that right uppercut. Later in the same round Gonzalez got up close and forced the fight to the inside scoring a short over hand right that sent Robles to the canvas near the end of the round. Robles controlled the distance and pushed “Cobrita” back and hurting Gonzalez who initiated clinches after getting hurt in the sixth. A right hook dropped Gonzalez later in the round but referee Juan Morales Lee mistakenly called it a slip. Getting desperate and continuing to go to the body, Gonzalez went low too many times and was taken a point away. The last round was a close one as both went for a big finish. Shocking all three judges saw Gonzalez win with Julian Palombo turning in a scorecard of 79-72, Carlos flores 77-74 and a more realistic although still wrong Jesus Gonzalez with a 76-75. Torres Annihilates Pech Tijuana amateur standout and undefeated as pro, Elvis Torres (9-0, 6KO) stopped Jose Pech (4-4, 1KO), both of Tijuana, at the 1:58 mark of the second of a scheduled super bantamweight six. After Pech began landing a laser-like over hand right, Torres pushed him back towards the ropes with body work in the first but in the second it was all Torres as he continued with the pressure and trapped Pech against a neutral corner. Once there, the southpaw Torres scored a left hook to the body followed by a right one to the head that laid out Pech for the count. The brave Pech tried to beat the count but referee Juan Manuel Rincon reached the count of ten before Pech could regain his senses. Other Results: Luis Rosales (1-0, 1KO) made his pro debut a good one by stopping Alejandro Estrada (0-1) with a straight right to the midsection. Time was 2:48 of the third round. Erick Orozco (5-1-1, 3KO) looked for the knockout with wild hooks to the body and head but just couldn’t connect flush against Ismael Esquivel, both of Tijuana, in a four round lightweight bout that was closer than the scores reflected. Orozco got the unanimous decision with 40-36 three times. Tijuana welterweight Jaime Munguia (8-0, 6KO) remained undefeated with a unanimous decision over the game but overmatched Jose Maria Valdez (3-10-2, 1KO), also of Tiuana, over four rounds. No scores were announced. After eight hard to watch super featherweight rounds, Angel “Humilde” Rodriguez (10-1, 5KO) earned a unanimous decision over Edgar “Lupillo” Ramirez (14-9, 11KO) with scores of 80-72 three times. Rodriguez of Tijuana by way of Venezuela was just quicker and more skillful than the single gear Ramirez of Ciudad Obregon. All the rounds just melded into each other as Rodriguez just didn’t have enough power to get Ramirez out of there despite landing the more punches. Two trips to the canvas in the second of a super flyweight four caused by two separate body shots by Ensenada, Mexico’s Maximino Flores (16-2, 13KO) ended the night for Erick “Danger” Jimenez (0-8) almost at the end of the second. The official time was 2:56. A four punch combination by Cristian “Chimpa” Gonzalez (7-0, 7KO) seconds into the first round of a scheduled four stopped winless Santos Rosales (0-4) of Tijuana. Gonzalez of Buena Park, CA, started off the combo with a jab but finished it off with a left hook to the liver. Rosales was clearly hurt and on his way down but that didn’t stop Gonzalez to score a cheap shot in the form of a right uppercut. Official time was 1:10. Pedro “Little Pete” Duran of Los Angeles staid undefeated in eight fights, five of them inside the distance, with a tough earned unanimous decision over a game Daniel “Piernas” Ahumada (1-5) over four super featherweight rounds. Scores were 40-36 and 39-37 twice.
