Unbeaten light flyweight Luis Castillo of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico kept his 0 intact (21-0-1, 13 KOs) decisioning countryman Miguel Angel Herrera (22-7-5, 8 KOs) in the 10 round main event in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico. Good two-way action between the pair with Herrera the agressor most of the fight and landing a fair amount of his punches. The southpaw Castillo landed the more eye catching punches mainly his left snapping the head back of Herrera throughout the fight. There were no official scores read, just that Castillo had won by unanimous decision.
Unheralded Karia Ramos Zamora (11-10-1, 4 KOs) of Mexico upset fomer two-division (135, 140) WBC female world champion Eric Faris (27-8, 10 KOs) by fifth round TKO in a scheduled eight round bout. Farias started out strong in round one, but it was all Zamora after that putting on a full display of volume punching head and body consistently. A series of punches with Farias against the ropes in round five prompted the referee to understandably stop the fight.
Erica Anabela Farias was once one of the best pound for pound boxers in the world female or male. Her skills were as elite as almost anyone in the sport. Those days are long gone. Now she is just a journeywoman. If she retires now she will probably be a first ballot hall of fame but if she continues on then she will be just a gatekeeper and earn some good paydays based on her name but tarnish her reputation. At this point she what Vic Darchinyan, Frankie Randall and Yuriorkis Gamboa became after their primes. Everyone hopes to turn back the hands of time like Nonito Donaire, Roberto Duran and George Foreman did but those cases are very rare in boxing history and almost always end like it did for Jeff Lacy rather than like it did for Manny Pacquiao.
Man, you really threw out some names on that post! Thumbs up!
