Billed as “Now or Never” (Ahora
ó Nunca), Borizteca Boxing
Promotions staged a World Boxing
Federation (WBF) Championship
double-header on Friday night,
June 22, at the Salón Mezzanine
in boxing-tradition-rich
Tijuana, Mexico.
Undefeated Cuban Southpaw Marcos
Foretal, from Guantanamo but now
fighting out of Miami, Florida,
impressively stopped Mexico´s
Daniel Vega in the first round
to win the vacant WBF
International Super Bantamweight
title.
Forestal (28), now 8-0 (5),
looked determined to have an
easy night, as he floored last
minute substitute Vega, 7-7 (4),
three times with well-placed
body-shots, forcing referee Juan
Jose Ramirez to wave the fight
off at 1:29 of the very first
stanza.
In the evenings co-feature,
Rafael Ramon Ramirez failed to
win his careers first
professional title when his
fight against Ramon “Cholo”
Barajas for the vacant WBF
Mexican Super Welterweight title
was ruled a No-Contest due to a
cut caused by an accidental
head-clash in the third round.
Underdog Barajas (33) came to
fight his chance and wildly
attacked the 38-year-old Ramirez
in the first two rounds, but
didn't manage to land anything
significant as Ramirez blocked
most of his shots and
counter-punched.
When the accidental clash of
heads cut Ramirez, 20-4-1 (4),
over the right eye in round
three, the ringside doctor
advised that the fight was
stopped and consequently ruled a
No-Contest, much to the dismay
of Barajas, 11-16 (4).
