Bill Dwyre * — While most senators around the world, in every country where there is that kind of government, were home on their couches Saturday night, making sure to take their pain pills and Geritol, the Honorable Manny Pacquiao was beating up a guy in Las Vegas.
Making his comeback to the sport, Manny Pacquiao (59-6-2, 38 KOs) showed that he had too much speed and talent for WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas (27-2, 10 Kos), who he defeated tonight by a 12 round unanimous decision to win his WBO title in front of a large crowd at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The fight was televised by Top Rank pay-per-view rather than HBO.
Showing glimpses of his past form, Manny Pacquiao (59-6-2, 38 KOs) fought like a fighter half his age in handing WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas (27-2, 10 Kos) a 12 round unanimous decision on Saturday night in their Top Rank pay-per-view fight at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Using powerful jabs and left hands, Pacquiao was able to control the fight down the stretch to win the fight by the scores 114-113, 118-109 and 118-109. Pacquiao flattened the 27-year-old Vargas with a left hand in the 2nd round. Vargas was unhurt, but embarrassed from the knockdown.
Undefeated super middleweight contender Tyron Zeuge (19-0-1, 11 KOs) defeated WBA super middleweight champion Giovanni De Carolis (24-7-1, 12 KOs) by a 12th round TKO tonight to win the WBA 168lb title in his home country of Germany at the MBS Arena in Potsdam. A tired looking De Carolis was knocked down twice by Zeuge in the 12th.
Tares “The Real Deal Shelestyuk maintained an unbeaten record and continued his ascent in the welterweight division with a close, unanimous 10-round decision over his toughest opponent to date, Jimmy “The Truth” Herrera in Friday’s main event of a ShoBox: The New Generation tripleheader live on SHOWTIME from the outdoor Omega Products Event Center in Corona, Calif.
Shelestyuk (15-0, 9 KOs), the 2012 Olympic Games Bronze Medalist for Ukraine, was victorious by the scores of 96-93 twice and 95-94. Despite a gutsy, gritty performance, Herrera (15-4-1, 8 KOs), of Chicago, Ill., had a three-fight winning streak end. There were no knockdowns.
LA Fight fans came out in droves in near sell-out show on November 4th edition of LA FIGHT CLUB at downtown LA’s historic Belasco Theater. Special guests of the night included NBA Champion and former Los Angeles Laker Metta World Peace, EXTRA host Mario Lopez, YouTube and social media sensation Tania Lucely, YouTube singer and songwriters Ezequiel Cardenas and Jeremiah Cardenas, NABF Featherweight Champion Joseph “JoJo” Diaz, NABA Featherweight Champion Abraham “El Chamaco” Lopez, USNBC Light Heavyweight Champion Vyacheslav “Lionheart-Chingonskyy” Shabranskyy, WBA-NABA Super Featherweight Champion Carlos “The Solution” Morales and Golden Boy stablemates Ronny Rios, Jason “El Animal” Quigley, Oscar “El Jaguar” Negrete, Edgar Valerio, and Roy “Pitbull” Tapia.
Former two division world champion Juan Manuel Lopez (35-5, 32 KOs) took advantage of an injured former WBO 122lb champion Wilfredo “Papito” Vazquez, Jr. (24-7-1, 19 KOs) to stop him in the 11th round tonight at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Vasquez Jr. suffered an eye injury that caused him problems in the 11th. The southpaw Lopez then unloaded on the 32-year-old Vasquez Jr. with a blizzard of punches to put him down on the canvas.
Last night in Bolton, super-middleweight Jamie Cox retained his unbeaten record with a wide ten-round points win over Argentine Martin Fidel Rios. The official score of referee and sole scorer Phil Edwards was a huge 97-86 (mistakenly announced as 97-76 by the MC) for the 30-year-old southpaw from Swindon. Cox is now 21-0(12). Rios falls to 20-10-3(11).
Welterweight Sam Eggington (19-3, 11 KOs) handed former 147lb world title challenger Frankie Gavin (23-3, 14 KOs) his third loss of his career in stopping him in the 8th round on Saturday night at the Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham. The 23-year-old Eggington unloaded on Gavin with body shots in the 8th round to hurt him.
Last night in Edinburgh, Scotland, red-hot super-lightweight prospect Josh Taylor advanced to championship level as he won the vacant Commonwealth title with a hugely impressive 5th-round stoppage over the tough and experienced Dave “Rocky” Ryan. Taylor, who had never previously gone beyond the 2nd-round in his 6-0 pro career, downed Ryan with a sickening right to the body. Ryan, showing his usual courage, beat the count but he was immediately under more fire, the referee having no choice but to stop the fight.
