Former IBF super middleweight champion José “Bolivita” Uzcategui (31-4, 25 KOs) scored a second round KO over Jaime “Huizi” Hernandez (9-5, 4 KOs) on Saturday night at the Auditorio Benito Juárez in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico. Uzcategui was tuning up for his August 28 WBC title eliminator against David Benavidez.
The main event was an attractive clash between 18-0 super flyweights where David “General” Cuellar (19-0, 12 KOs) won by ninth round TKO over Karim “Traviesito” Arce (18-1-2, 8 KOs) to win the WBC International title. Arce is the nephew of former world champ Jorge Arce.
Totally off topic, I know, but wasn’t De La Hoya supposed to fight someone in early July?
He made the announcement once (while he was probably toked, doped and coked up) and I never heard anything about it again.
Mike Weaver ,happy birthday for yesterday.Great entertainer and motivational carèer.
While we’re all off topic, DeLaHoya is crazy if he thinks he’s coming back. He looked drunk on one of those Triller cards when he made the announcement. There was talk of him facing GGG, who would completely annihilate him, or Canelo, who would literally murder him in the ring. Maybe he should ease into it with a fight with Uzcatagui…Yeah, I saw somewhere else Mike Weaver turned 70 yesterday. He was the “other” champion during Larry Holmes reign. He seems to be doing well, which is good to see for an aging ex-fighter
