It took Luis Nunez nearly 10 full rounds Friday night, but he got the knockout he sought against Carlos Arrieta in their televised main event. The Dominican featherweight prospect hurt Arrieta badly with a right hand and stopped his game Puerto Rican opponent with 1:19 to go in their 10-round, 130-pound fight at Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida. Showtime aired Nunez’s knockout as the headliner of a three-bout “ShoBox: The New Generation” telecast.
Carlos Arrieta doesn’t have any type of gimmick that measures up to his opponent’s usual post-fight dance celebration. What he plans to bring to the table is the promise that Luis Nunez doesn’t get the opportunity to perform his signature “Twist” at the end of the night.
An undefeated Dominican featherweight prospect plans to pay homage to Chubby Checker before he fights Friday night. Yes, you read that correctly. Luis Nunez became enamored with “The Twist,” a dance
