World rated super bantamweight Ramon Cardenas (25-1, 14 KOs) scored a ninth round KO against Eduardo “Koreano” Ramirez (22-4-2, 16 KOs) on Wednesday night at the Whitesands Event Center in Plant City, Florida. Cardenas ended a close, competitive fight with a bodyshot. Time was 1:37.
Super welterweight Damian Sosa (25-2, 12 KOs) upset previously unbeaten local hero Marques Valle (10-1, 8 KOs) by split decision over ten rounds. Scores were 96-94, 97-93 Sosa, 98-92 Valle.
Former world champion Ronny Rios (34-4, 17 KOs) won his featherweight debut by fifth round KO against Nicolas Polanco (21-6, 12 KOs). Body shots finished Polanco. Time was :54.
Excuse me, but Ronny Rios is NOT a former world champion. He has never even held a real alphabet belt. Just some third rate trinket designed to allow the alphabet crooks to collect sanctioning fees. So, he’s not even a former belt holder, much less a “world champion”. Whoever wrote this article, have some respect for the integrity of the sport instead of parroting alphabet nonsense.
Another good card by pro box. Rios looked good coming off two years. Valle/Sosa was a banger. I didn’t like the scores, but they got it right. The main event: I actually felt bad for Cardenas. It looked like he didn’t want to go to his corner because Joel Diaz was there cussing him out like bad. Liver shots were the hit today.
That 8-2 Valle score was brutal! How in the hell do you get that score…. but, like you said, at least the right person gets the win and that was a fantastic fight.
The very least a draw, but did in no way Valle win that fight. Close, but Sosa was the clear winner in my opinion. Good that he got it.
8-2 the other way was about right. Judge probably instructed to back the promoters fighter but needs to make it look better than that.
This makes me wonder if Sosa can hang with the big boys? He looked pretty damn good tonight!
Sosa is a taxi driver of tijuana
It was a great fight (for to be Wednesday )
Brother Carlos, he may be a taxi driver, but he looked pretty good.
