Former World Champion Julio “La
Sombra” Zarate captured the
vacant World Boxing Federation
Latin Super Bantamweight title
on Thursday night when he
defeated Mexican countryman
Francisco Dianzo at the
Discoteca New York in Puebla,
Mexico.
Zarate was a class above Dianzo,
who failed to be a serious
threat with his considerable
punching-power, and dominated
the proceedings from the first
bell with good hand speed and
nice moment. Zarate looked on
top of his game, and never let
Dianzo get the initiative.
The bout was stopped at 1:55 of
the third round when Dianzo was
floored by a right hook to the
body and referee Alex Arteaga
had seen enough, awarding Zarate
the victory by technical
knockout.
With the win “La Zombra”
improved his record to 29-6-2
(18), and got him back on track
for another crack at a world
championship. Dianzo fell to
24-10 (21), and it’s hard to see
where he goes from here if he
wants to be successful at the
highest level.
The show was promoted by MRM
Boxing Promoters, and drew more
than 2500 spectators to the
arena.
