In a clash between unbeaten super featherweights, Luis Nuñez (16-0, 12 KOs) scored a tenth round TKO against Carlos Arrieta (14-1, 8 KOs) on Friday night at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida. Nuñez looked headed to a decision win when he staggered Arrieta in round ten and got a referee’s stoppage with his follow-up barrage. Time was 1:41.

The Dominican Republic churns out a steady stream of undefeated, hard punching prospects constantly. Maybe 1/8-10 of them actually have something. I was wrong about Castillo, I thought he was the goods.
I think Shinard Bunch is going to be really good, he’s only 22 now.
Are u married?.
I watched the fight – very entertaining and great action… is boxing returning to its past glory….hope so if this fight is any indication of things to come
Nunez calls himself the twist just wondering if anyone in here is old enough to remember Chubby Checker?
As a reporter (before police and retirement) I met Chubby Checker when he was playing small cities…summer festivals. A bunch of us were drunk with him In the hockey dressing room of the arena he was playing. He was holding court, ranting like a cut rate Ali. We argued over Michael Jackson being greater than Elvis. It was pouring rain outside. Chubby wouldn’t give me a riding in his bus to my place. He’d had his fill of me. Thar’s my Chubby Checker story.
Sounds like an act that has 15 minutes of fame and ends up working casino lounge rooms or even local fairs.
Not a bad Sho Box card.
I liked how Nunez changed the speed on his punches. Not every shot was a home run. Lots of singles.
