Undefeated super middleweight contender Erik Bazinyan (32-0, 23 KOs), ranked in the top five by all four major sanctioning organizations, scored a third round knockout over Billi Facundo Godoy (41-7, 20 KOs) on Thursday night at Casino de Montréal in Montreal, Canada. Bazinyan dropped Godoy for the count with two big right hands. Time was 2:23.
Unbeaten light heavyweight Albert Ramirez (18-0, 15 KOs) had to work hard to defeat Artur Ziyatdinov (15-2, 12 KOs) by ten round unanimous decision. Scores were 100-90, 99-91, 98-92. Judges weren’t giving Ziyatdinov anything as it was not a lopsided bout.
In a non-title bout, NABF super lightweight champion Steve “The Dragon” Claggett (38-7-2, 26 KOs) pounded on Marcos Gonzalez (23-4, 11 KOs) for two rounds and Gonzalez didn’t come out for round three. Claggett is rated WBC #8, WBO #14, IBF #15.
Rebounding from consecutive losses, Canadian female junior middleweight favorite Mary Spencer (8-2, 6 KOs) got back in the win column with a first round TKO over Sonya Dreiling (6-4, 2 KOs). Dreiling didn’t come out for round two.
Unbeaten lightweight Jhon Orobio (6-0, 6 KOs) stopped Juan Carlos Ramirez (5-5, 3 KOs) with a body shot at the end of round two.
Unbeaten super middleweight Wilkens Mathieu (7-0, 4 KOs) punished late sub Oscar Soto Quintana (6-5, 2 KOs) until Soto’s corner waved the towel in round four.
Unbeaten middleweight Moreno Fendero (4-0, 3 KOs) scored a second round KO against Ricardo Lara (22-12-2, 10 KOs). Fendero dropped Lara once in round one and twice in round two.
Ramirez had no opposition
Yet the commentators had it as a close fight and thought the scorecards were terrible. I didn’t see Ramirez losing a round and thought the 100-90 scorecard exactly correct.
Complete mismatch in Ramirez fight with no offense from his opponent
Is Bazinyan another player at Supermiddle? I’ve heard his name bounced around the past couple years, but have never seen him fight. Is he a special talent?
‘Bazinyan dropped Godoy for the count with two big hands’. Nice going!
