On ESPN2\u2019s Friday Night Fights, Martin \u201cEl Brochas\u201d Honorio, 28-4-1, 14 KO\u2019s, successfully defended his NABO Lightweight title by defeating Wilton \u201cPretty Warrior\u201d Hilario, 12-1-1, 9 KO\u2019s, in a 12 round unanimous decision. \u00a0Both Goossen Tutor Promotions and Pechanga Resort & Casino put together a great night of boxing. Here\u2019s a breakdown of the night\u2019s bouts:<\/p>\n

Main Event: Honorio vs. Hilario<\/p>\n

Round 1 through 4:<\/p>\n

Both fighters were lackluster in the opening round, still trying to figure out what the other could do.\u00a0 Hilario showed a good uppercut to the body and both fighters put together some combinations. In round 2, Honorio showed an effective lead hand when he used his jab.\u00a0 Hilario showed a promising short overhand right, but displayed a tendency to lead with his head and received a warning by ref. In round 3, Honorio showed technical ability by keeping off Hilario\u2019s attack by his reach and made Hilario miss.\u00a0 Hilario continued to go forward but failed to put together any attack that showed he could box.<\/p>\n

He continued to try and find his way inside, but Honorio\u2019s reach and continued use of his jab made this difficult.\u00a0 Finally, in round 4, Honorio really started to open up and pulled off a flurry of punches to the body and the head of Hilario.\u00a0 Hilario connected with an overhand right, but still didn\u2019t put together any effective combinations<\/p>\n

Rounds 5 \u2013 9:<\/p>\n

In round 5, Honorio picked up the pace and both fighters exchanged but Honorio landed more punches and he easily took the round. \u00a0Hilario just kept missing with no combination and showed he can take punches, but failed to counter and come up with any sort of offense.\u00a0 In round 6, Honorio continued to make Hilario miss and he connected with a hook that caught Hilario solidly.\u00a0 Hilario got knocked down twice in the round but managed to survive to the sound of the bell.\u00a0 In round 7, Honorio continued his momentum and didn\u2019t let up.\u00a0 Again, Hilario showed he can take punches, but had no defenses and in one effective shot, connected, but it really wasn\u2019t enough to hurt Honorio at this point of the bout.<\/p>\n

Round 8 continued action in Honorio\u2019s part and he did not relent on his attack.\u00a0 Hilario remained tentative and continued to take more punches. In round 9, Honorio worked a brilliant round of combinations at will, in a flurry, and shoe-shined to Hilario\u2019s body.\u00a0 Hilario did not fight back at all, except against the ropes as he tried to get inside.\u00a0 As the bout reached the final rounds, the ref continued to stick close to Hilario\u2019s corner because of the amount of punishment Hilario had taken.<\/p>\n

Round 10 through 12:<\/p>\n

In the closing rounds, Honorio continued to build points in his favor.\u00a0 In round 10, he continued to attack and put together more effective punch combinations to the head and body.\u00a0 Hilario failed to counter against Honorio.\u00a0 Hilario, knowing the fight was not going to be won on points, started to head hunt and look for an opening to get the KO.\u00a0 In round 11, Honorio had a cut above his eye that may have affected his vision, but still managed to pull off an effective offense in the round.\u00a0 Hilario continued his efforts to get the KO, especially with the uppercut, but seemingly grew frustrated with himself.\u00a0 Finally, in the 12th<\/sup> round, Honorio put the finishing touches on the fight and came away with the unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

The night\u2019s action started with a quick win by John Molina, JR., 19-1, 15 KO\u2019s, over Ricardo \u201cEl Rayo\u201d Medina, 31-36, 17 KO\u2019s.\u00a0 In the first round, Molina and Medina exchanged on the inside when Molina connected with a left hook.\u00a0 There were 2 knockdowns in the opening round and the ref called an end to the fight at 1:48 in the first round.\u00a0 Molina declared winner by KO.<\/p>\n

Following the quick victory by Molina, Ukrainian Sergey Karpenko, 0-1, made his boxing debut in a 4 round bout against Las Vegas heavyweight Alvaro Morales, 4-6.\u00a0 The fight went to 4 rounds with Karpenko showing promise with a good lead hand with an effective jab-cross combination.\u00a0 Morales proved to be a good counterpuncher and executed more combos whenever the two exchanged.\u00a0 Morales showed more experience and connected on Karpenko several times in the 2nd<\/sup> round.\u00a0 Karpenko is a good technical fighter and started to go to the body and head.\u00a0 In the 4th round, Karpenko had a sense of urgency to putting together an attack in the closing round, but actually kept missing.\u00a0 Morales showed more fatigue and took everything Karpenko gave him.\u00a0 In the end, Morales came out the winner in a 4 round split decision.<\/p>\n

In the third bout of the evening, Rico \u201cSuavacito\u201d Ramos, 15-0, 9 KO\u2019s successfully defended his NABO Youth Champion title against Cecilio Santos, 24-13, 14 KO\u2019s. At 1:14 in the 4th<\/sup> round, Ramos connected with a left to Santos\u2019 body that took him down.\u00a0 It was a perfectly timed, well placed body shot.<\/p>\n

In the fourth bout of the evening, Michael \u201cSilent Assassin\u201d Dallas, JR., 12-0, 3 KO\u2019s handed Fabian \u201cEl Lobo\u201d Luque a loss at 2:58 in the 1st<\/sup> round.\u00a0 Dallas showed excellent hand speed and landed effective combinations when the ref called the fight with a KO.<\/p>\n
