REPORT

Tijuana’s Enriquez shuts down Arrazola[2]
By Matt Thompson; FightNews Photos: Leonso Nunez November 24th, 2014
Despite over forty years of showcasing live professional boxing in “America’s Finest City” of San Diego, 
Bobby D. Presents, led by California boxing hall of fame promoter Bobby DePhilippis, still had a night
of firsts last Friday night. In the main event of their last show of the year, billed as “Dangerous
Divas II”, the popular Tijuana Kenia Enriquez (13-0, 6KO) put on a masterful display of power, speed
and technique to capture the vacant WBO female flyweight title with a complete shutout of the much more
experienced Ana “La Bronca” Arrazola (21-11-2, 13KO) of Mexico City. The night marked the first world
title fight in San Diego in nearly ten years as well as the first female world title fight in the
history of the city. Enriquez also set her mark by becoming the second youngest active female champion
in boxing as well as the first Mexican woman to capture a WBO title strap. The night was co-promoted in
association with Fernando Beltran’s Zanfer Promotions.
The just recently turned twenty-one year old Enriquez closed out a successful year with her fifth win
of the year. After stopping Selene Lopez in one round in her native Tijuana last January, Enriquez
defeated Noemi Bosques via a unanimous decision in her U.S. debut a month later. In April Enriquez
stopped former two-time world champion Jolene Blackshear in seven to capture the NABF 108lb title and
last September shutout the tough Mayela “Cobrita” Perez for eight rounds.
It was no secret the thirty-four year old southpaw Arrazola was the more experienced one with more
knockouts than Kenia had fights. Arrazola held the fringe WBF junior flyweight title in 2013 and had
challenged for world title before including against Yesica Bopp twice and Suzy Kentikian. Earlier this
year she traveled to Japan for a shot at the IBF junior flyweight but came up short against Naoko
Shibata. Arrazola was coming off a ten round unanimous decision over Estefania Fonseca back in October.
From the opening bell Enriquez made her intentions known as she welcomed to Arrazola to San Diego, the
first time Arrazola was fighting on American soil after forays to Argentina, Germany and South Korea,
with a hard right hand flush to the face that snapped the Mexico City fighter’s head back. That exact
punch would turn out to be Enriquez’s weapon of choice through out the night.
Despite scheduled for ten rounds for the first time in her career, Enriquez wanted to finish things
early and still in the first round she landed a hard left hook to begin a flurry that seemed to
surprise Arrazola who perhaps expected a more complacent pace.
Kenia continued to score the straight right hand but changed it up to the body that would double
Arrazola over every time it landed. Arrazola’s face might have had a homing device for Enriquez
powerful straight right hand, as it never seemed to miss through the bout.
The Tijuana’s fighter defense turned out to be as good as her offense as she easily slipped Arrazola’s
left and then countered with a multi-punch combination including a precise uppercut.
In the sixth Kenia went for the kill as she ran across the ring at the bell and tried to pin Arrazola
against the ropes with a flurry of punches. Arrazola’s experience was enough for her to react quickly
and use her lateral movement to get out of harm’s way but not before receiving a couple of flush
punches to the face.
After a slower paced seventh and with the crowd egging her on, Kenia tried for the knockout again in
the eighth but Arrazola besides using everything in her thirty-four bout, eight year career experience
proved to have granite chin as she was able to survive the onslaught.
Yet another right hand landed early in the ninth but this one sent Arrazola reeling against the ropes
but was able to counter well and make Enriquez think twice as the young champion tried to finish her
off. Kenia never left off the gas, including in the tenth and final round, but Arrazola proved to be
too tough and wise to get stopped. All three judges, Tony Crebs, Alejandro Rochin and Pat Russell, had
it a landslide victory for Enriquez with scores of 100-90, 100-90 and 100-89 respectively.
“She was very smart and experienced, every time I thought I had her and would be able to stop the fight,
she would use something different to get away, I learned a lot from this fight, “ Enriquez said seconds
after winning the title. “I am ready for the best of the world. I would like to either unify the
division or go down to my natural weight of 108 pounds and win a title there. I might even try to go
down to straw weight. I don’t think I would have a problem with that. I have to talk to my team and
especially to my promoter, Bobby DePhilippis, to see what is next.”
Smalls Impresses against Iñiguez
Ultra popular San Diego featherweight Prince “Tiger” Smalls (6-0-1) gave his growing contingent of fans
a thrill as he sent down Jose Iñiguez (7-19, 1KO) of Tijuana in the third en route to a four round
unanimous decision. Scores were 40-35 three times.
Smalls had not jumped into the ring since last May. A professional prizefighter for only a year, Smalls
has built a loyal fan base that was out in force to see him perform after six months out. Smalls did not
disappoint, as he looked as sharp as ever taking full advantage of his height advantage to land long
right hands to the face of Iñiguez who was game but not match for Smalls.
Iñiguez only had one answer and that was to dig to the body in hopes of slowing Smalls a bit to get a
chance for an over hand right but by the second Smalls was starting to really put his punches together
landing flush combos that began to hurt the Tijuana fighter including a left uppercut to the body. 
A straight right in the third preceded by a solid jab forced Iñiguez down a knee that was correctly
called a knockdown by veteran referee Pat Russell and another one seconds later made Iñiguez wobble
but he remained on his feet. Smalls continued the pinpoint punching in the fourth and final round but
Iñiguez showed his cunning when he spit out his mouthpiece when hurt by solid combination and was able
to survive to the final bell.
Spinks III Stops Zavala
In the only scheduled junior welterweight six rounder of the night, Leon “3rd Generation” Spinks III
(9-1-1, 5KO) scored his second knockout of the year, this time over Ivan “Oso” Zavala (6-8-2, 2KO) at
the end of the third round.
After a round of study in which neither fighter really risked but instead looked to find his range,
Spinks III began establishing his jab from the southpaw stance while Zavala looked to score something
to the torso with a long left hook from the outside. Zavala began to look for an over hand left which
caught Spinks III but the grandson of former undisputed heavyweight champion Leon Spinks showed quick
hands as he began to throw and land quick combos. The speed seemed to bother Zavala and Spinks III
realized. Half way through the round Spinks III unexpectedly let his hands go with Zavala on the ropes
and threw what looked about thirty uncontested punches. Zavala just put his hands up and tried to move
side to side but it was not use as Spinks III just kept throwing. An uppercut got through the high
guard of Zavala that sent him down hurt and bloody from an ugly gash in his left eyelid. Referee Pat
Russell correctly took him over to the ringside physician and after one look the doctor waived off the
fight. Official time was 3:00 of the third.
Enjani and Jose Fight to a Draw
After a heated verbal exchange at the official weigh in the previous day, the animosity continued into
the ring between San Diego by way of Congo’s Mulapi Enjani (1-0-1) and Don Jose Jr (0-3-1) of Stockton,
CA, in a super bantamweight four rounder. Jose Jr’s strategy from the opening bell was to establish his
jab on the slightly shorter Enjani who early on had trouble getting on the inside. Enjani was getting
caught as he came in but known as the “Mexican African”, he had no trouble receiving punishment to be
able to dish it out. By the second Enjani had more success getting in on the inside and hurting Jose
Jr to the body and then doubling up top with a nice right hand. In the second half of the fight Enjani
began to score the better and stronger punches but Jose Jr was the more active as he in turn began to
dig to the body. An uppercut from Enjani opened up a cut in the mouth of Jose Jr where he began to
bleed from.
The fourth and final round was all action as neither man wanted to leave anything on the table and at
the ten-second warning they put into yet a higher gear to finish the best fight of the night strong.
All three judges scored it exactly the same, 38-38, a draw. Fightnews also had it a draw.
Fundora Remain Undefeated
Coachella, CA’s super middleweight Alberto Fundora (3-0, 1KO) remained undefeated with a unanimous
decision over Fernando “Pantera” Najera (1-5) of Tijuana, Mexico, over four somewhat competitive
rounds. Fundora did everything well, from controlling the distance, to landing combinations and
countering. What he did best was to survive the onslaught from Najera with a level head. The Tijuana
fighter had his moments as he scored left hooks as well as his own number of counter rights to make
the fight exciting.Najera was never hurt in the fight although suffering a cut over his left eye and
Fundora being very precise with his punches especially the left hook that landed plenty of times.
Najera was tough but perhaps too tough for his own good as he often took risks to get near the taller
Fundora. At the end, all three judges scored it 40-36 for Fundora.

Bobby D Presents “Dangerous Divas II”[3]
By thefightvoice on November 23, 2014
San Diego, CA – On Friday evening nationally recognized female boxing promoter, Bobby DePhilippis, head of
Bobby D Presents and Tijuana co-promoter Zanfer Promotions, made history as “Dangerous Divas II” gave
“America’s Finest City” its first ever female boxing title fight.
Bobby DePhilippis, who has earned a reputation for highlighting women’s boxing and received an award from
the NABF for his efforts to promote females and the sweet science, gave local San Diego fight fans an
exceptional fight card Friday night that ended with Tijuana native and rising star Kenia Enriquez taking
home the vacant WBO Female Flyweight belt. The victory gave the young, physical fighter her second title
of the year and cemented her place on the boxing landscape going in 2015.
In addition to the first ever female title fight in San Diego, Bobby D Presents “Dangerous Divas II” also
showcased two local boxers who train under 2013 California Boxing Hall of Fame inductee Priest “Tiger”
Smalls. The two young fighters, which included the two-time champions son, Prince Smalls, and super
bantamweight Mulapi Enjani, gave local fans an opportunity to see these two rising stars in action and
they did not disappoint.
Lastly, the card was rounded out with a feature bout between Leon Spinks III, the grandson of iconic fighter
and former heavyweight champion Leon Spinks, and Tijuana fighter Ivan Zavala. Spinks brought some serious
energy to the room with his entrance song alone and backed it up with fast hands and quick feet inside the ring.
With a packed ballroom and exceptional energy from the San Diego fans, “Dangerous Divas II” provided a great
night of boxing action and capped off a fun year of fights for the local promotion.
Main Event: Kenia Enriquez, 109.5lbs (12-0, 6KO’s) vs Ana Arrazola, 112lbs (21-10-3, 13KO’s) for the vacant WBO
Female Flyweight Title
In the main event of the evening, history was made as Kenia Enriquez and Ana Arrazola squared off for the vacant
WBO Female Flyweight title, an honor that Enriquez was grateful to be a part of. The fight would be Enriquez’s
fifth fight of the year and second shot at a title. Her opponent, a tough battle-tested veteran, Ana Arrazola
would prove to be Enriquez’s toughest fight to date . . . or so it seemed.
Enriquez entered the ring with some serious swagger and backed it up out of the gate with an exceptional first
round. The Tijuana native made it clear from the start that she was there to win and take home her second belt.
Throughout the fight Enriquez peppered Arrazola with straight right hands and short left hooks that had the
Mexico City native on her heels for the entire bout. Enriquez stayed composed behind her jab and relied on a
vicious straight right to take home the unanimous victory and her second belt of the year. Enriquez, who has
excelled this year and grown as a fighter, earned the vacant WBO Flyweight title and gave local San Diego fight
fans something to look forward to in 2015.
Co-Main Event: Prince “Tiger” Smalls (5-0-1) vs Jose Iniguez (7-18, 1KO)
When it comes to boxing and San Diego the name “Tiger” carries weight, and on Friday night Priest Smalls walked
behind his son, Prince Smalls, as the equally proud father and son made their way to the ring. Priest Smalls,
a California Boxing Hall of Famer and former two-time champion, is the trainer, coach and confidant of his
young son, Prince Smalls, who is a unique talent at over 6’0” tall with good speed and footwork.
Smalls (Prince), who just started boxing five years ago, had an exceptional amateur career and entered the ring
with five wins under his belt. Smalls met Tijuana brawler, Jose Iniguez, in a four round bout that had
excitement written all over it.
From the start, the advantage was apparent, as Smalls towered over the much shorter Iniguez. Smalls was able to
control the early part of the fight with his feet and long jab and never fell into much trouble as Iniguez made
several attempts to land the looping overhand right. After some short work to the body by Iniguez, Smalls
landed a thunderous straight right that sent Iniguez to a knee and brought the crowd to their feet. Iniguez
escaped the round and took additional punishment in the final round before the fight finally came to an end.
Prince “Tiger” Smalls came away with the unanimous victory as all judges had the fight 40-35 for Prince Smalls.
The packed house, who included a huge contingent of fans from local gym San Diego Combat Academy, brought
exceptional energy to the fight and were proud to see their fighter and coach walk away with the well-deserved
win.
Lightweight – 6 Rounds – Leon “3rd Generation” Spinks, 138lbs (8-1-1, 3KO’s) vs Ivan “Oso” Zavala, 138lbs
(6-7-2, 2KO’s)The entertainment continued with the third fight of the night as Leon Spinks III, grandson of
legendary former heavyweight champion Leon Spinks, came to the ring with a hype-man who made the phrase “Whup
Dat Azz” a jingle that I will never forget.
Spinks, a rangy lightweight would take on tough Mexican brawler Ivan Zavala, a fighter who has enjoyed many
bouts inside the Bobby D ring. Zavala, who is not an easy out by any means did his best to bring the fight to
Spinks and he won some exchanges throughout the first two rounds.
In the third round, Spinks used his speed and quickness to overpower Zavala and landed short, six-punch
combinations on Zavala that he simply couldn’t handle. Zavala took a knee in the middle of the ring and the
fight was stopped. Leon Spinks III earns his ninth win and looks to carry the family name with him throughout
the remainder of his career.
Super Bantamweights – 4 Rounds – Mulapi “The African Mexican Enjani, 118lbs (1-0, 1KO) vs Don Jose Jr., 121
lbs (0-3)
If you arrived late to the fight and walked into the ballroom as Mulapi Enjani was making his way to the ring,
you would’ve thought the main event was going down early. Enjani, a local fighter who fights out of Tiger
Smalls Boxing and is coming off a debut victory this summer, had the crowd in his corner for this fight and
carried that energy into the first round.
His opponent, Don Jose, came out strong in round one and used solid footwork to keep Enjani at bay. Enjani,
who enjoys working on the inside was unable to gain any momentum in the first two rounds as Jose appeared to
take rounds one and two. The fight became interesting very fast however, as Enjani opened up an onslaught in
round three that had Jose backpedaling and playing defense for the entire round.
Going into the fourth and final round, it would appear that Enjani may need a knockout to win, and he did his
best to get it. However, the tough brawler from Stockton stood firm and absorbed the punishment to take the
fight to the cards. Being ringside, you could sense that a draw was forthcoming and to the crowd’s displeasure,
a 38-38 draw on all three judges’ scorecards was read by the ring announcer.
Super Middleweights – 4 Rounds – Alberto Fundora, 167.5lbs (2-0, 1KO) vs Fernando “Pantera” Najera, 165lbs (1-4)
The first fight of the night started fast and ended furious as Alberto Fundora and Fernando Najera gave the
crowd a jolt with four rounds of exciting action. Fundora, the taller and more active fighter used his jab to
set the pace and was able to control the ring for most of the fight. Najera found some luck on the inside when
he was able to bait Fundora to fight close, however, the undefeated super middleweight smartly used his feet to
avoid long engagements on the inside. Alberto Fundora walked away with a shutout victory as all judges had the
fight 40-36 for Fundora.
