REPORT

Cano, Prieto battle to a draw[2]
Report/photos Boxing Bob Newman; FightNews September 28th, 2014
On May 17, 2014, Mexican lightweights Ivan Cano and Javier Prieto battled to a twelve round draw for Prieto’s 
WBC Silver lightweight title. The bout was so competitive, why not do it again, right? Tonight in the same city 
of Playa del Carmen, Mexico, the two compatriots went at it again, each hoping to do enough to walk away with 
the win. But instead of “One and Done,” they made it “Twice is Nice” and battled to a majority draw once again, 
with Prieto retaining his title and his WBC #4 ranking.
A packed house in The Theater at the Hotel Gran Riviera Princess in Playa del Carmen witnessed a tactical battle 
between familiar foes Javier Prieto and Ivan Cano who were attempting to best one another to erase the taste 
left from their three way split draw last May. There was little to choose between the two over the first few 
rounds with the exception of Cano getting staggered into a neutral corner at the end of round two. It was as if 
they each knew the other too well and were trying to come up with a new tactic to outsmart the other, but 
couldn’t seem to find it. By the end of the fourth, WBC open scoring in title fights showed a portent of things 
to come as it was revealed that Prieto was ahead 39-37 on two cards while Cano was ahead 39-37 on the third.
In the middle rounds Cano seemed to land the occasional cleaner head shots, but was less busy by the tiniest of 
margins, than Prieto. At the end of round eight, there was a shift, but still anyone’s fight as the scores read 
76-76 twice, and Cano ahead 78-74 on the third card. During the last four rounds, Cano opted to become the 
counter puncher, moving deftly to avoid Prieto’s attack, and sticking the jab and hook into Prieto’s face.
Would the judges see that tactic as running, and credit Prieto’s aggressiveness or see the ring generalship of 
Cano? After twelve give and take rounds, the scores were 117-112 Cano and 114-114 twice for a majority draw. 
Prieto retains his title, and perhaps his ranking, while Cano dejectedly tried to leave the ring but was 
convinced to stay for post fight interviews. Prieto goes to 24-7-1, 18 KOs while Cano goes to 22-6-2, 15 KOs. 
Third time’s a charm?

In the semi-main event, WBC Super Fylweight champion Zulina Muñoz took a non-title fight against relative novice 
Karina Hernandez, a veteran of only eight fights to Muñoz’ forty five! To her credit Hernandez gave the champ 
all she could handle, often getting the better of exchanges for the full ten rounds of competitive action. Muñoz’ 
corner implored her to use her left jab to set up the right hand, but she either wouldn’t or couldn’t do it 
enough to the corner’s satisfaction. Hernandez gave as good as she got and seemed to land the better head shots 
by a slight margin. However, she may have been a tad less busy in looking for the clean shot, to her detriment 
on the score cards. Scores were 97-93 twice and 98-92 all for Muñoz who moves to an impressive 43-1-2, 27 KOs, 
while Hernandez loses her first and dips to 5-1-3, 1 KO. She may have lost the bout, but she gained the respect 
of her opponent and a slew of new fans in the crowd and on television via Televisa and Fox Deportes.

The daughter of former world champion Oscar “Chololo” Larios, Yareli Larios made her dad proud as she overwhelmed 
debutante Gloria Romero at 1:45 of the opening stanza. Romero seemed game for a bit, until she got hit. Larios 
drove her foe to the ropes near Romero’s own corner and unleashed a barrage of punches, forcing the ref to step 
in and save the newbie from any more punishment. Larios is now 2-0, 1 KO, Romero starts out at 0-1.

Former IBF lightweight title challenger Marvin Quintero let Mario Sanchez of nearby Cancun get brave in the first 
round, then lowered the boom in the second, dropping Sanchez to his face. Incredibly, Sanchez beat the count but 
was out on his feet as he swayed like the palm trees in the breeze outside forcing the ref to wave it off at 1:38 
of the second. Quintero now goes to an impressive 26-5, 22 KOs, while Sanchez drops to 23-11-1, 4 KOs.

Cancun’s Yesenia Gomez completely woman-handled Anely Hernandez over ten hard fought rounds to win the WBC Silver 
Female Flyweight title. Despite Hernandez’ guts, she had little else to persuade the judges as it was a near 
unanimous shout out via scores of 100-90 twice and 99-91 all for Gomez, now 9-4, 4 KOs. Hernandez falls further 
below .500 at 2-4.

Opening things off was a scrappy super lightweight bout between Tijuana’s Hector Manuel Zepeda, making his pro 
debut and Cancun’s Andres Vasconcelos, looking for his first win in five outings. Zepeda made it so Vasconcelo will 
have to keep looking as he outworked the local lad via unanimous scores of 39-37. Zepeda now 1-0, and Vasconcelo 
continues winless at 0-4-1.
The event was the last of the history making WBC Female Boxing convention in Playa del Carmen and was jointly 
promoted by Golden Boy, Cancun Boxing, Canelo Promotions and Boxing Time Promotions.

Retiene el "Implacable" Prieto titulo plateado en Playa del Carmen
Empata de nuevo con el "Macanón" Cano en cerrado pleito; réferi yucateca participó en la velada
Península Deportiva Domingo, 28-Septiembre-2014[3]
Playa del Carmen.- De nueva cuenta, el campeón plata ligero del Consejo Mundial de Boxeo (CMB) Javier "Implacable" 
Prieto retuvo su corona al igualar con Iván "Macanón" Cano, en una pelea emotiva a 12 rounds que encabezó la función 
organizada por "Cancun Boxing" de Pepe Gómez, "Golden Boy Promotions" de Óscar de la Hoya y "Boxing Time Promotions" 
de Guillermo Rocha. Ambos se retiraron inconformes con el resultado.
Cano fue el primero en tomar la iniciativa, no obstante, a partir del quinto asalto, Prieto le arrebató el ritmo de 
la misma, haciéndolo fallar y a su vez conectando algunos jabs de izquierda en los bajos de su contrincante. La pelea 
se llevó a cabo en el centro del cuadrilátero ya que los boxeadores consiguieron eludir las cuerdas. El público 
coreaba el nombre del monarca cuando incitó a Cano a pelear y no correr.
El último episodio fue de alarido porque los dos púgiles buscaron acabar la contienda de un sólo golpe sin conseguirlo. 
"Implacable" logró mejorar su imagen luego de la última pelea y "Macanón" no pudo repetir su brillante estrategia con 
la que dejó en mal estado a su rival. Al final un juez vio ganador a Javier Prieto, otro jurado eligió a Iván Cano y el 
tercer juez decretó empate. El réferi fue Frank Garza. Sigue la rivalidad. ¿Habrá un tercer capítulo?
Debut triunfal
En una pelea explosiva que abrió la función en la noche de ayer en la Riviera Maya, el tijuanense Héctor Manuel Zepeda 
tuvo una presentación victoriosa al vencer al cancunense Andrés "Avatar" Vasconcelos por decisión unánime. Desde el 
primer segundo, el novato atacó la débil defensa de su contrincante, quien a partir del segundo asalto intentó hacer la 
pelea en corto, aunque se llevó una buena cantidad de golpes del ganador de la contienda. La réferi fue Nora Nicoli.
Fulminante nocaut
Con una derecha al mentón en el segundo asalto, Marvin Quintero derrotó por KO al tabasqueño Mario "Maravilla Sánchez 
en una pelea pactada a 10 asaltos en peso súperligero. En el primer round ambos contendientes midieron distancias y 
nulos ataques; sin embargo, al primer minuto del segundo round, Sánchez fue sorprendido por ese volado, del que se 
levantó grogy, el réferi Gelasio Pérez Huerta inició el conteo de protección, pero al darse cuenta de las malas 
condiciones del púgil, decidió suspender el combate.
Sigue invicto
En la última pelea de la noche, el californiano Julián "Camarón" Ramírez alargó su racha de imbatibilidad a 12 victorias 
con 6 "anestesiados", al imponerse por nocaut técnico a los 10 segundos del sexto round al mexiquense Ricardo Hernández.
Fue un triunfo meritorio del californiano, quien se apoderó del control de la pelea prácticamente desde el campanazo 
inicial. El réferi fue Florentino López Cruz.
