Artemio Reyes Stops Degollado: Jose Roman Wins[2]
By Francisco Salazar; BoxingScene Last update:  11/22/2014
(ONTARIO, California) - Entering Friday night's bout, welterweight Artemio Reyes had fought a total of 13 rounds
in his last six bouts. The hard-punching Reyes wanted to make it seven in a row against Christopher Degollado,
but the game Degollado had other ideas. While Degollado gave a good account of himself, an all-too familiar
outcome played out. Reyes stopped Degollado in the seventh round of a scheduled eight round bout at the
Doubletree Hotel. Reyes had entered the bout on a seven-bout winning streak, but had won his last bouts by
knockout. After winning his first 10 bouts in a row, Degollado had lost three of his last four bouts.
It was a good ebb and blow fight from the beginning, as both fighters fought mostly in the pocket. While two
inches taller, Reyes was not able to extend on his punches as he fought on the inside, which seemed to be what
Degollado wanted. Degollado was able to land lead and counter right hands to the head and body of Reyes.
As the bout progressed, Reyes was at his best when he created distance between himself and Degollado. Reyes
began to land the more telling blows with each passing round. Degollado's best moments in the fight came in the
fifth round, where he took the initiative and beat Reyes to the punch with right hands to the head. Reyes swing
momentum back in his favor at the end of the sixth round, when he stunned Degollado with a left hook. The bell
sounded to end the round, preventing Reyes from following up. Reyes hurt Degollado with a right hand to open the
seventh round. Degollado did his best to fight back or to hold on, but Reyes kept throwing and landing punches
as the round progressed. When it looked as though Degollado was unable to protect himself, his corner threw in
the towel, prompting referee David Mendoza to stop the bout at 1:44.
Reyes, from nearby Colton, improves to 23-2, 19 KOs. Degollado, from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, falls to
11-4, 9 KOs.
Lightweight Jose Roman knocked out Jose Luis Ramirez in the third round of a scheduled eight round bout. Roman
(19-1-1, 13 KOs) was on the attack from the opening bell, landing repeated right hands to the head of Ramirez.
Roman kept the southpaw Ramirez (7-2-1, 4 KOs) on the defensive, not allowing him to mount effective
combinations, as Ramirez was only able to throw one or two left crosses. Roman dropped Ramirez at the end of
the second round with a straight right hand to the head. Although he beat the count, Ramirez did not look like
his legs were steady at the beginning of the third round. Roman went on the attack, eventually pinning Ramirez
in a corner and landing a right cross to the head, followed by a right to the body. Ramirez went down on one
knee, remaining on that knee as referee Zach Young counted him out at 59 seconds.
Carlos Carlson won a six round unanimous decision over Miguel Tamayo in junior featherweight action. Carlson
(16-0, 10 KOs) landed the more telling blows throughout the fight, but the southpaw Tamayo (15-10-2, 13 KOs)
was crafty enough to counter to the head. Carlson's face reddened as the bout progressed, but Carlson landed
two or three punches for every one that Tamayo would land. All three judges scored the bout in favor of
Carlson, 60-54, 50-54, and 59-55.
Junior lightweight Erick Ituarte (9-1-1, 2 KOs) stopped Jesus Angulo in the third round of a six round bout.
Ituarte landed at will from the opening bell against the taller Angulo (3-6, 2 KOs). Ituarte initiated the
exchanges, but would leave himself open as Angulo was able to counter with an occasional hook or cross. In the
third round, Ituarte trapped Angulo in a corner and let his hands go until referee Zach Young stepped in and
stopped the bout at 2:30
Heavyweight Rodney Hernandez survived a first round knockdown to win a four round unanimous decision over Siala
Siligoa. About 30 seconds into the first round, Siligoa (2-2, 2 KOs) dropped Hernandez to the canvas with an
overhand right hand. From then on, Hernandez (6-2-1, 1 KO) was the more effective fighter, beating Siligoa to
the punch during most of the exchanges. Siligoa tired as the bout progressed, doing very little as his punch
output dropped with each passing minute. All three judges scored the bout 38-37 in favor of Hernandez.
