Unbeaten lightweight Ruben “Ace” Torres (19-0, 16 KOs) scored a spectacular seventh round KO over Cristian Baez (18-2, 17 KOs) on Saturday night at the Omega Products International Event Center in Corona, California. Both fighters were down in round two. Baez gave Torres all he could handle for six rounds. In round seven, Torres was credited with a questionable knockdown. When action resumed, Baez was still complaining to the ref and Torres knocked him out cold with a left hook. Time was 1:53.
Welterweight Louie Lopez (12-1-1, 4 KOs) outpointed previously unbeaten Elias “Ingles” Diaz (11-1, 6 KOs) over eight rounds by scores of 77-75, 77-75, 78-74.
Was it Mayweather style like Baez was complaining while Torres was hitting or a fair KO ?
I’m going to do my research on YT to get an answer..
You have to protect yourself at all times, but that was a cheap shot that ended this fight specifically because Torres touched gloves with him and then immediately knocked him out. Not illegal at all, but I wouldn’t want to win like that.
