WBO #3 super middleweight Diego Pacheco (19-0, 16 KOs) won by impressive fourth round TKO over Manuel Gallegos (19-2-1, 16 KOs) on Friday night at Cintermex in Monterrey, Mexico. Great fight between two big punchers. Pacheco finally dropped Gallegos in round four and got a referee’s stoppage with his follow-up barrage. Time was 2:45. Pacheco, 22, continues to show improvement each time out.
“I’m just that guy,” said Pacheco. “I’m getting better, wiser, stronger. The opposition is getting better, but that’s just raising the level of my performance and you are going to keep seeing that.”
WBC #1 super featherweight Eduardo “Rocky” Hernandez (34-1, 31 KOs) scored a spectacular third round knockout over late sub Hector Garcia (20-8-4, 13 KOs). Both came out in round one slinging bombs. Rocky staggered Garcia at the end of round two and finished him with a brutal barrage in round three. The ref stepped in just as Garcia was going down 25 seconds into the round.
“It’s a great victory for me,” said Hernandez. “I’m number one in the WBC and it brings me closer to the fight that I want, O’Shaquie Foster.”
In an exciting clash between former world title challengers, WBO #13 super flyweight Jonathan Rodriguez (24-2-1, 16 KOs) and WBC #11 Israel Gonzalez (28-5-2, 11 KOs) battled to a ten round draw. Good fight with back and forth action and both fighters having their moments. Scores were 96-94 Gonzalez, 96-94 Rodriguez, 95-95.

Fun fights to watch..Hernandez efficient.. effective puncher…nice display of punches…swift compact snappy at angles…in the pocket Hernandez always kept his eyes on Garcia…timing great…good stuff….Pacheco …nice fighter also….able to break Gallegos down …though Gallegos had that pressure fighting style… Pacheco initially fought off ropes punches from angles ..like the way that Pacheco was relaxed and boxers from angles…got the stoppage…good stuff…looking forward to these guys in the future….good upside for both fighters…
*boxing from angles
boxing from angles is elite type boxing and it changes everything
Ok. Let’s see how Pacheco does against a top notch guy. Keep him in the gym, and away from the night clubs. Or even worse, The Biden White House. Away from the drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, and everything else that destroys fighters.
What was your sport? Based on your comments, low self esteem………..
BLM, when you go to prison, will you shave your head, and cut off your DREADs?
You have to wonder, now that Canelo is gone, how quickly (if at all) Matchroom will be to match Pacheco with Berlanga. Pacheco has two top ten rankings on him already — including a #3 by the WBO — so it would be beneficial for Berlanga to fight him, even if he isn’t very popular yet.
As long as Pacheco stays in the gym, and away from the Clubs, The Biden White House, and other places you will find drugs & sin, he has a very good chance of beating Bitey Berlanga. I think Pacheco can defeat Bitey Berlanga.
yes thats a good match up
Not that beneficial if Pacheco gets to flatten him.
Well he’s going to have to risk it against someone, Burucho. Can’t fight Quigleys for the rest of his career.
Pacheco was super impressive. Going to keep an eye on him going forward.
