			Roman defeats Velazquez[http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/roman-defeats-velazquez-262898#more-262898]
			FightNews September 28th, 2014
			Jose “Gato” Roman dominated Hector Velazquez, one of the most experienced boxers in the lightweight
			division, and successfully defended his WBC CABOFE Lightweight Championship in the 8-round “Path to
			Glory” main event promoted by Thompson Boxing Promotions. The unanimous decision scores read: 79-73,
			80-72, 79-73. Roman (18-1-1, 12 KOs), who fights out of Garden Grove, Calif. and had a strong
			contingent of fans at the sold-out Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, used his speed, agility, and
			intelligence to thoroughly frustrate the 39-year-old Velazquez. To his credit, Velazquez (56-23-3,
			38 KOs) tried to tie up Roman at every opportunity, but Roman maneuvered out of the traps and
			managed to score points on the outside.
			With about thirty seconds left in the fourth round, Roman fired a relentless barrage of punches,
			which caught Velazquez off guard. On the way back to his corner, one could tell Velazquez was visibly
			shaken by the onslaught. From this point forward, Roman carefully boxed his way to a one-sided victory.
			“I just implemented what we worked on during our training camp,” Roman said. “We didn’t want to give
			him any opportunities to gain momentum. I knew I was going to be too fast and technical for him.”

			In the co-main event, Danny Roman (12-2-1, 5 KOs) of Los Angeles put on a boxing clinic through eight
			rounds against Jonathan Alcantara (7-12-2, 1 KO) of Sonsonate, El Salvador. Roman swept the scoring
			80-72 on all three scorecards. Roman dished out a heavy beating, routinely connecting with left hooks
			to the head and body. Alcantara deserves credit for remaining aggressive throughout, however, it was
			clear from the start that he was over matched. Roman used a quick jab to set up power shots and worked
			the body well in close quarters.

			In a contentious fight that featured numerous holds, low blows, blood, and a torn glove, through all
			that, it was Ukrainian welterweight Taras Shelestyuk (9-0, 6 KOs) squeezing out an 8-round split
			decision (76-75, 75-76, 76-75) victory over Patrick Boozer (6-3, 2 KOs) of Ann Arbor, Mich. The boxers,
			both southpaws, had their moments as the tight scores suggest, but Shelestyuk benefited greatly by
			Boozer’s inability to keep the punches above the belt line. Referee Ray Corona warned the Michigan
			native early in the fight, and in the eighth, Corona deducted a point for what appeared to be a blatant
			low blow. Boozer’s infraction undoubtedly had a profound impact on the scoring. In the fourth round,
			Boozer’s right glove tore and had to be replaced, causing a five-minute delay. When the round resumed,
			Boozer opened up a nasty cut over Shelestyuk’s right eye, which gushed blood for the remainder of the
			fight. The Ukrainian battled through and was able to stay in the fight and land quality shots. Boozer
			accorded himself well, often landing hard rights, but it was Shelestyuk who took home the hard fought
			win. Shelestyuk is co-promoted by Thompson Boxing Promotions and Banner Promotions.

			Cesar Villarraga (5-0, 3 KOs) of Colombia showed why he is considered one of the best young lightweights
			by dominating and knocking out Oscar Santana (4-2-1, 2 KOs) of Pomona, Calif. Santana proved effective
			in the first two rounds, but after that, it was all Villarraga. In the third, the former Olympian was
			landing his left hook and straight right whenever he wanted. Santana tried to keep his distance, but
			Villarraga closed the gap with an accurate jab and solid combinations. In the sixth and final round,
			Villarraga gave the crowd what it wanted, a pinpoint left hook to the body that dropped Santana for good
			at the :35 mark. Villarraga is promoted by Thompson Boxing Promotions and Gary Shaw Productions.
			Super featherweight Erick Ituarte (8-1-1, 1 KO) of Santa Ana, Calif. proved the more polished prospect in
			his 4-round fight against Jesus Aguinaga (1-3) of Phoenix. Ituarte won a unanimous decision (39-37×3)
			behind an active jab and consistent power punching.
			Heavyweight LaRon Mitchell (5-0, 5 KOs) of San Francisco extended his win and knockout streak with a
			second round KO of Eduardo Ramirez (1-1) of Yuma, Ariz. In the middle of the first round, both fighters
			connected flush with power shots resulting in a double knockdown. Mitchell quickly shook off the drop and
			managed to land shots through the rest of the round. In the second, Mitchell attacked early and bloodied
			Ramirez’ nose with a heavy straight right that clearly wobbled the shorter and lighter Ramirez. Mitchell
			sensed a knockout and poured it on. He landed a four-punch combination that sucked the life out of Ramirez.
			The referee put a stop to the beat down at the 1:21 mark.
			Opening the seven-bout card were lightweights Andres Figueroa (5-0, 3 KOs) of Bogota, Colombia and Carlos
			Zatarin (3-2-1, 1 KO) of Phoenix. Figueroa, who at 5’5″ is a bit undersized for the division, boxed his way
			to a 4-round unanimous decision win (39-37, 40-36, 39-37). Zatarin had a habit of opening his guard when
			throwing a right upper cut, which Figueroa timed nicely with a counter left. In addition to that, Figueroa
			landed the stronger punches and established a better defense.

ORANGE, Calif. (Sept. 27, 2014) – Jose “Gato” Roman dominated Hector Velazquez,
one of the most experienced boxers in the lightweight division, and with that
resounding victory, successfully defended his WBC CABOFE Lightweight Championship
in the 8-round “Path to Glory” main event promoted by Thompson Boxing Promotions.
The unanimous decision scores read: 79-73, 80-72, 79-73.

Jose Roman defeats veteran Hector Velazquez![http://standnfight.com/jose-roman-defeats-veteran-hector-velazquez/]

Fresh off his bloody ten round war with Luis Solis, lightweight Jose Roman (18-1-1, 12 KOs)
successfully defended his WBC CABOFE lightweight title with a one-sided unanimous decision
victory over veteran Mexican Hector Velazquez (56-22-3, 38 KOs) on Friday night at the
Double tree Hotel in Ontario Ca. Roman, of Garden Grove seemed to have trouble with the
awkward veteran and a cut under the left eye only made things worse. Velazquez, who has
been in the ring with guys like Manny Pacquiao and Edwin Valero, didn’t seemed to impressed
with the young lightweight but still never really put up much offensively. A bloodied Roman
outworked Velazquez over the eight round main event to earn scores of 79-73 and 80-72 twice.

In the co-feature, “The Baby Faced Assassin” Danny Roman (12-2-1, 5 KOs) dominated a tough
Jonathan Alcatara (7-12-2, 1 KO) to earn a shutout unanimous decision victory after eight
rounds of action. Roman fought off a aggressive Alcatara with accurate combinations to earn
scores of 80-72 all around.

In a special attraction, 2012 Olympian Taras Shelestyuk (9-0, 6 KOs) escaped with a split
decision victory over Michigan’s Patrick Boozer (6-2, 2 KOs) after 8 bloody rounds. The
Ukrainian Shelestyuk, came out and boxed well but when he suffered a huge gash over his right
eye, things slowly turned. An unintentional clash of heads opened up the cut and Sheletyuk’s
corner just couldn’t stop the steady stream of blood. Boozer, who entered the ring with fellow
Michigan native James “Lights Out”Toney, pressured and kept it very close going into the final
round. Unfortunately for him a body shot strayed low and referee Ray Corona was forced to take
a point. That point would sway the decision from a majority draw to the split decision for the
Ukrainian. One judge had it 76-75 in favor of Boozer but she was overruled but the deciding
two who had it 76-75 for Shelestyuk.

Unbeaten Colombian Cesar Villaraga (5-0, 2 KOs) stopped a game Oscar Santana (4-1-1, 2 KOs) in
the final round. Santana came out strong but didn’t have the stamina to go the distance. After
slowly fading, a left hook to the body sent Santana crumbling to the canvas and unable to
continue. Referee Raul Caiz Sr. waved it off with Santana still on the canvas. Time was :35 of
the sixth round.

Santa Ana’s Erick Ituarte (8-1-1, 1 KO) scored a four round unanimous decision over a tough
Jesus Aguinaga (1-2) of Phoenix AZ. Ituarte pressed the action and set the pace from the opening
round and earned a wide decision with scores of 39-37 all around.
Undefeated heavyweight LaRon Mitchell (5-0, 3 KOs) scored a second round KO over Eduardo Ramirez
(1-1) of Yuma AZ. Mitchell, of San Francisco survived a scary first round when he hit the canvas
in a double-knockdown. Both fighters came off the canvas and finished the round. In the second
however, an accumulation of punches had referee Raul Caiz Sr. stepping in and calling a halt to the
action with Ramirez taking punishment in his own corner. Official time of the stoppage was 1:21.
Undefeated Colombian Andres Figueroa (5-0, 3 KOs) defeated a game Carlos Zatarin (3-2-1, 1 KO)
after 4 rounds of action. Though Zatarian had his moments, connecting with the right hands, it was
Figueroa who outworked the Arizona fighter to earn the unanimous decision. Scores were 40-36 and
39-37 twice
