Israel Rodriguez Picazo
outclassed Mexican compatriot
Hector Garcia Dolores to win the
vacant World Boxing Federation
(WBF) World Super Bantamweight
title on Saturday night, April
10, at the Grand Hotel in
Tijuana.
Rodriguez Picazo (22) asserted
himself from the first round and
controlled Garcia Dolores with
jabs and hard body-shots, and at
the same time showed excellent
ring-generalship to stay away
from the powerful shots coming
at him.
In round seven Garcia Dolores
(21) found some momentum and
attacked furiously with some
success to probably edge the
round. But from round eight it
was Rodriguez Picazo who was
back in the driving-seat and in
control.
At the beginning of round ten
the corner of Garcia Dolores
decided their man, bleeding
significantly from the nose
since round three, had taken
enough punishment, and informed
referee Fernando Renteria, who
consequently waved it off.
Official time of stoppage: 0:10
of round ten.
After a career-best performance,
the new WBF World Super
Bantamweight Champion improved
his professional ledger to 21-5
(13).
Garcia Dolores, a WBA regional
titlist at Featherweight, drops
to 9-5 (5).
Promoted by Zanfer Box in
cooperation with 2M Promotions,
the fight was part of a card
televised in Mexico by Box
Azteca.
