Comments Thread For: Early Telefutura Results From Catano, Puerto Rico

[JakeNDaBox]

By Jake Donovan - Friday’s edition of Telefutura's Solo Boxeo series, which aired live from Coliseo Cosme Beitia Salano in Catano, Puerto Rico, opened with 18-year old newcomer Eddie Gomez, who enjoyed an easy night’s work in scoring a first round knockout over Jonel Tapia.

Gomez, Bronx-born but raised in Puerto Rico, appeared to be just warming up, when a left hook to the temple – landing behind a tight guard – caused Tapia to freeze before the pain truly set in as he dropped to a knee in delayed fashion.

The shot was enough to wave off the bout without so much as a count, as the referee was none too pleased with Tapia’s facial expression as he was on the canvas.

The official time was 2:06 of the opening round. [Click Here To Read More]

Man!! These 2 Ricans fought the round of the year in my opinion. Round 6 of Berto/Ortiz ain't shit compared to Lopez vs Rivera Rd 2. Top it off with a ****ing sweet KO. Damn!! This fight made my night.

This was a very good & entertaining fight.. I saw a very close fight, but I wasn't paying full attention cause at the same time I was watching the Magdaleno fight on another TV... Velez got a good win tonight, but from what I saw he was lucky Valcarcel doesn't have pop in his punches, cause Velez get's tagged clean & flush pretty much & even thou Valcarcel's power ain't all that(or just about ain't there period) Velez got stop in his tracks a few times & if he gets hit like that by someone like Vazquez jr, he's getting laid out!!

Here is Lopez Stylin on his opponent...

I don't see what's the big deal cause "Tomato Can" Felix Rivera has been KO'd every time he's fought!! As a matter of fact this is the longest Rivera has lasted in a fight!! & that's REALLY bad...

eddie gomez looked good.

For real he is the only one who looked good tonight. I had the other guy winning against velez. Velez is ok but nothing special at all.
