Pinning Parra, Arce kept attacking his body, putting him down one last time, prompting referee Juan Jose Ramirez to call off the battering.
With the win, Arce picked up his 60th win, bringing his ledger to 60-6-2 (46) in the scheduled ten-round super bantamweight bout.
In the co-featured bout, Jorge Paez Jr., 31-4-1 (19), followed up his majority decision win against Omar Chavez (Julio Cesar Chavez’s younger son) by overpowering a taller southpaw in Octavio “Tayo” Castro in the third round of a scheduled 10-round welterweight bout.
Paez, though showing a little bit of a “spare tire,” did show good speed and precise punching in breaking down Castro, who, while in battle, engaged both on the inside. “Tayo” set up some long-range shots behind a bothering jab throughout the bout.
Paez’ heavy hands busted up Castro’s nose early in the third. Clearly bothered by it, Castro would get pummeled on the ropes. The referee came to the rescue at 2:31 of the round without a complaint from the fighter.
In other results, Adan Mares (brother of bantamweight champion Abner Mares) won his pro debut with a stoppage over fellow debutant Francisco Fernandez at 2:32 of the first round.
Flyweight Oscar Arce (nephew of Jorge Arce) moved to 5-0 (5), stopping debutant Alejandro Zepeda 30 seconds into the first round.
Lightweight Ramiro Alcaraz, 12-1-1 (7), TKO’ed Luis “Bofito” Viedas, 7-6-1 (2), 1:45 into the first round.
Middleweight Jose Uzcategui, 10-0 (8), halted Rolando Paredes, 6-2-2 (6), at 2:27 of the first frame.
Super bantamweight Roberto Castaneda, 19-1-1 (14), needed to go all out in the fourth round of a scheduled six in order to get rid of a troublesome Eden Marquez, 22-9-2 (16), at 58 seconds into the round.
Flyweight Gilberto Parra, 6-1 (6), dropped a hard-fought majority decision in six rounds against a very busy Jose Manuel Sanchez, 5-0 (1). Parra was cut over his right eye in the second round and the blood bothered the fighter for the rest of the bout.
Super lightweight Armando “Chato” Robles, 19-1-1 (10), scored a TKO over Abraham Alvarezosuna, 16-2-1 (7), at 2:42 of the third round. Alvarezosuna was down once in the third.
In the walk-out bout of the night, super lightweight Sergio Ortega, 4-0 (4), dropped Miguel Nava, 3-1 (1), twice, winning via stoppage in two.
Dallas Jr., Estrada Pick up UD wins on Friday Night…
Arlington, Texas- Super lightweight Mike Dallas Jr., 18-2-1 (7), of Bakersfield, California, bounced back from two consecutive losses to defeat Cleveland, Ohio’s Miguel Gonzalez, 20-3 (15), via unanimous decision in the ESPN2 main event on Friday night.
The southpaw Gonzalez (whose hand was actually in a cast a few weeks ago) and Dallas Jr. both probed with long-range shots in the first. Dallas Jr. took some control in the second, finding a home for straight rights as he moved to his right against the lefty. However, an accidental headbutt caused a cut over Dallas Jr.’s left eye in the round.
Dallas Jr. controlled the third easily, digging to the body and letting his hands go on the inside, landing a low blow on Gonzalez in the process. Later in the round, referee Neal Young warned Dallas Jr. that the next low blow, as well as holding, would cost him a point.
Gonzalez was down late in the round due to a push behind the head.
Looking more focused after setting the tempo, Dallas Jr. (with no apparent problems from the cut) kept working the body, slowing down his opponent in the following rounds.
The fight went into a predictable pace set by Dallas Jr. , something which picked up in the seventh and eighth, as Gonzalez let his hands go a bit more. This allowed Dallas to both counter and lead with hard body shots, getting the crowd back into the fight.
Dallas Jr. reduced his foe to spurious, wild shots in the ninth but without a hard punch to avoid or absorb, Gonzalez managed to hear the final bell. Dallas Jr. won a unanimous decision via scores of 100-90 (twice) and 100-89.
Estrada Wins Decision in Eight…
In the co-feature, East L.A.’s Shawn Estrada, 14-0 (12), usually a super middleweight (and coming off knee surgery), came in at a whopping 195 pounds in the final, official weigh-in, going the eight-round distance for the first time against a very game Terrance Woods, 9-4 (6).
The former Olympian, Estrada, a very fast, hard-hitting starter, showed his weight in the first round, sporting a spare tire. Though slower than usual, he did more than enough to take the first round, as he manhandled and pushed Woods (who weighed 176 pounds) backward through the frame.
Clearly the smaller man in the fight, Woods was unable to keep Estrada from pressuring in the second round. Late in the round, Estrada clocked Woods to the face with a right hand. Somehow, the wobbly (but very game) Woods managed to escape the round as Estrada went for the unsuccessful finish.
After slowing down, Estrada was unable to finish the job in the third, as Woods did well enough to work from the outside, although the round still seemed to go Estrada’s way.
Looking tired, Estrada switched to the southpaw stance in the fourth and worked on the inside against Woods who kept a high guard at all times.
Punching with less speed and snap, Estrada would press on, landing thudding shots to the body, mixing it up on the inside with uppercuts. Woods stood tough to the task in but returned to his corner with a heavily bruised face,
Following the same formula, Estrada did his best to end the fight in the eighth and final round, with a very concerned referee Robert Chapa keeping a close eye on matters. The fight came to an end with Estrada taking the unanimous decision win via scores of 78-74 and 80-72 (twice).
Dulorme Flattens Ambriz in One…
Flashy Thomas Dulorme, 14-0 (11), remained undefeated, blowing out a late sub in Azusa, California’s Aris Ambriz, 16-3-1 (8), in one round in Friday night’s “ShoBox: The New Generation” main event at the Chumash Casino Resort in Santa Ynez, California.
.
It wasn’t much of a fight, as Dulorme quickly landed a hard, left hook to Ambriz’s chin, sending him down on his back early in the first round.
Dulorme was all over a still woozy Ambriz, landing several shots and capping off the fight with a right hand, once again putting Ambriz on the ground.
Referee David Mendoza did not wait long and stepped in to halt the bout at 2:12 of the round.
With the win, Dulorme won the vacant NABF welterweight title.
Gonzalez Decisions Lyell in Ten…
Puerto Rican super welterweight and 2008 Olympian Jonathan “Mantequilla” Gonzalez, 15-0 (13), scored a hard-fought, ten-round unanimous decision over former world title challenger, Youngstown, Ohio’s Billy Lyell, 24-11 (5), in the co-featured fight.
Lyell worked a very stiff jab before winging right hands, clocking Gonzalez, who inched forward to work in some late body shots in the first round.
Gonzalez looked like he carried a few extra pounds in the midsection and made a good target for Lyell, who took a page from his opponent’s book and worked the body in the second, giving as good as he got in the second half of the round.
Lyell was warned by referee Marcos Rosales for a low blow at the onset of the third and Gonzalez, not a speed demon by any means, placed his shots well, beating Lyell to the punch. As the rounds progressed, Lyell got wider in his delivery, thus getting hit more often by the Puerto Rican banger.
Lyell began landing sneaky uppercuts at the halfway mark as Gonzalez tried to box a bit more. His punch output dropped and he seemed to slow down. However, Gonzalez was briefly stunned by a right hand to the face at the end of the sixth.
Gonzalez took the next round rather easily backing up Lyell with a clean, short left hook, although the very tough fighter came back to land a flashy left hook to Gonzalez’s chin late in the round.
Lyell played the counterpuncher, bouncing off his heels and landing sneaky shots from a low guard against an incoming Gonzalez in the eighth and tenth. Inspired, the crowd slowly got behind the Youngstown fighter.
Both fighters came out with urgency in the final round and though the fight looked perhaps a bit too close, Lyell seemed to do the better work. A riled-up Gonzalez got in some rough shots, cutting Lyell above his left eye at the end of the round.
Scores were 97-93 (twice) and 98-82, all for Gonzalez, with many in the crowd booing the decision.
