Rodolfo "Rudy" Lopez knocked out Colombian Jesus Antonio "El Ojón" Perez to claim the WBC junior featherweight title last night in an explosive confrontation in the Convention center. The fans responded to the call of the fight and they almost filled the center with shouts of support to "Rudy" who demonstrated his power once again cornering the Colombian who did not expect such shrapnel. The new idol quintanarroen concluded his work at 2 minutes 15 seconds of the fourth round, when with a broadside of combinations of hooks to the body and face of "El Ojón" who no longer supported the punishment and visited the canvas not to rise. International referee Jay Nabb applied the count and decreed the end of the fight and an uproarious ovation marked the coronation of the "Rudy" Lopez, who made history of quintanarroense pugilism when becoming the first world-wide monarch The beginning of the first round was used by both fighters to study, "Rudy" took the initiative with his lethal synchrony of left hooks and rights, looking for the soft zones and ending with blows to the face. The Colombian did not hold the pressure, he tried to defend himself maintaining "Rudy" with jabs of left and rectums of right remote, but his arsenal did not cause sufficient damage. It was indeed in the fourth round when the fight reached its maximum adrenalin level with bloody interchange of blows, but "Rudy" supported the best blows of his enemy and quickly cornered him to apply the awaited KO that ended at its historical victory that has given glory to the quintanarroense boxing.
