Hot Mexican prospect Jose
Enrique Dorantes Vivas wasted
little time in picking up his
first professional title on
Saturday, September 9, in
Mexicali when he stopped fellow
countryman Alejandro Solis in
the second round for the vacant
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
North America Featherweight
crown.
Vivas came out all guns blazing
from the very start, and Solis
bravely tried to trade with him
but was unable to keep up. While
he made it through the first
round, it was all over in the
second when Vivas floored Solis
with some hard shots and referee
Juan Jose Ramirez counted him
out. Time of stoppage was 2:56.
The new WBF North America
Champion from Mexico City
improved his unblemished record
to 13-0 (8), and sends Solis,
who had won his previous five
bouts, back to Tijuana at 8-4-1
(5).
A fight for the vacant WBF
Mexico Super Bantamweight title
between Mexicali-rivals Edgar
Ortega and Andres Tapia ended in
a draw after ten closely
contested rounds. Ortega owned
the first half of the fight,
while Tapia started taking over
from round six as Ortega looked
tired in what was his first
ten-rounder.
The scores from the three judges
were all over the place, as
Manuel Rincon scored the fight
97-93 for Tapia, Daniel Lopez
had it 99-91 for Ortega and Max
Zuniga scored it 95-95. Referee
in charge of the action was
Jacinto Arambula.
Ortega is now 6-1-2 (2), and
Tapia goes to 11-6-3 (4). The
show was promoted by Edgar
Mendoza and his Cachanilla
Promotions.
