In a clash of undefeated middleweights, Amilcar Vidal (12-0, 11 KOs) scored an explosive second round TKO against Edward “The Hunter” Ortiz (11-1-2, 4 KOs) on Saturday night at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Vidal rocked Ortiz in round two, then unleashed a torrent of non-stop punches to get a referee’s stoppage. Time was 1:58.
Unbeaten cruiserweight Efetobor Apochi (10-0, 10 KOs) scored an impressive third round TKO over Joe Jones (11-3, 8 KOs). Apochi dropped Jones in all three rounds, the final time was from an accidental headbutt. Time was :51. Apochi is an entertaining power puncher.
In a clash of unbeaten featherweights, Eros Correa (10-0, 7 KOs) took an eight round majority decision over Henry Arredondo (7-1, 4 KOs). Scores were 76-76, 78-74, 80-72. There was confusion after the fight and Arredondo was initially announced as the winner.
Vidal certainly isn’t fighting world beaters at all, but he’s dealing with them in a way that would suggest that he’s the goods. Maybe a Willie Monroe, Hugo Centeno type next time out.
