Argentina\u2019s power-punching southpaw, Jesus \u201cEl Forastero\u201d Cuellar, 27-1, 21 KO\u2019s, matched up with ring veteran, Vic Darchinyan, 40-8-1, 29 KO\u2019s, over the weekend in a twelve-round contest. In a competitive match-up, Darchinyan showed that even at the age of 39 he still has some fistic wherewithal when he stunned Cuellar in round one and four. The Armenian native also showed that the old boxing brain was still ticking when he boxed fairly well throughout the course of the bout, circling nicely and using distance to good effect. However, it was Darchinyan\u2019s size deficiency and Cuellar\u2019s aggression, work rate, and power which ultimately prevailed. The Argentine kept up a steady pace and eventually found a home on Vic\u2019s chin with a strong right hook that sent Darchinyan sprawling to the canvass. Darchinyan managed to arise before the ten-count, but he was glassy-eyed and clearly didn\u2019t have his wits about him. The referee felt that the veteran was in proper shape to continue and allowed Cuellar a number of free shots against the ropes which halted the bout in the eighth. <\/p>\n

Cuellar can now look forward to bigger, more substantial showdowns with top featherweights. Granted his take-no-prisoners style, he would be nicely paired with Leo Santa Cruz, Robinson Castellanos, Abner Mares, or even Josh Warrington.<\/p>\n

On the same card, featherweight, Marvin Sonsona, 20-1-1, 15 KO\u2019s, engaged in a tougher than expected bout with American, Jonathan \u201cLil Thund\u2019r\u201d Arrellano, 15-6-2, 3 KO\u2019s. The match was designed to keep the Filipino banger busy, but not that busy, as Sonsona had a rough go of it throughout the course of the contest. Sonsona was able to land effective left hands, his bread and butter shots, but Arrellano was nearly as effective with his right. In the end, the judges saw fit to render the scores of 96-94, 95-95, and 96-94, thus giving the Pinoy a majority decision. This victory puts forth a potential showdown with veteran Jhonny Gonzalez, which could be a very exciting fight seeing as both can really crack.<\/p>\n

Two-time Olympian and 2011 World Amateur Champion, Everton Lopes, 3-0, 1 KO, helped jumpstart his young career with what should have been a shutout decision victory over fellow South American, Marcelo Ezequiel Mesa, 6-3-1. Lopes exhibited sublime boxing skill, showing that there isn\u2019t much he can\u2019t do inside a boxing ring, except maybe punch with power, though a proper assessment will have to wait. The Brazilian fighter (Lopes) showcased a nice jab, wonderful defense, pinpoint accuracy, potential world class counter-punching ability, and even the faculty to switch stances. To be frank, Lopes looked eerily reminiscent of the 122-pound king, Guillermo Rigondeaux. If this kid progresses and possesses a beard to match his skills, the 140-pound division may have another star on its hands.<\/p>\n

Light-heavyweight contender, Thomas \u201cTommy Gun\u201d Oosthuizen from South Africa, 25-0-2, 14 KO\u2019s, failed to make weight against fellow southpaw, Robert \u201cThe Butcher\u201d Berridge, 26-3-1, 21 KO\u2019s, and had to forfeit 30% of his purse because of it. The bout moved ahead as a twelve-rounder, with Berridge being the only man eligible to win the nondescript alphabet strap. It mattered little, however, as the 6\u20194\u201d Oosthuizen used his height to full advantage and outboxed his opponent en route to a clear decision win. \u201cThe Butcher\u201d, at 5\u20198\u201d, had loads of difficulty working his way inside. He also had trouble letting his hands go. The scores of 116-112, 117-111, and 117-111 finalized \u201cTommy Gun\u2019s\u201d triumph.<\/p>\n

I would like to add that my previous insinuation that Luke Campbell and Tommy Coyle may fight in the summer seems to be creeping towards fruition. Campbell is a burgeoning British star and Coyle, though quality, doesn\u2019t have the strongest chin in his division. Campbell should pass that test with flying colors and move on to bigger and better things.<\/p>\n
