Bantamweight Max Ornelas remained unbeaten Friday night, notching a one-sided decision over veteran Raymond Tabugon at the Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa in Las Vegas.

The taller Ornelas was the effective puncher throughout most of the fight, ripping sharp combinations to the head and body of the Filipino fighter.

Tabugon had to deal with a cut over his right eye from an accidental clash of heads in round two. Undaunted, Tabugon attempted to walk down Ornelas and get on the inside of Ornelas' long reach.

Ornelas continued to dominate Tabugon in the second half of the fight, mostly countering Tabugon with three-four punch combinations.

All three judges scored the bout 80-72 in favor of Ornelas, who improves to 12-0-1, 4 knockouts. Ornelas resides in Las Vegas and is a criminal justice major at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV).

Tabugon (20-9-1, 10 KOs) has now lost five of his last seven bouts.

Gutierrez (14-3-1, 4 KOs), who resides in Las Vegas, has lost his last three bouts.
