FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NEW YORK (MARCH 1, 2010)—This weekend’s biggest boxing events were captured by www.gofightlive.tv and it featured two world title fights that may have produced a new star in one and the second world title ended with controversy.

In Puerto Rico, Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. made history as he followed in the footsteps of his father as he destroyed highly regarded Marvin Sonsona from the Philippines.

Vázquez went after his man in the fourth and pinned him several times against the ropes using his jab and straight right hand until one of those right hands broke through Sonsona’s defense and hurt him. A follow up left hook to the body put Sonsona down for the full count and tonight, it was the Puerto Rican who made history by becoming part of the first ever Puerto Rican father and son duo to win world titles.

With the impressive victory, Vázquez earns his first belt and improves his record to 18-0-1 15KO’s while Sonsona loses his first one and goes to 14-1-1 12KO’s. After the fight, Sonsona told the press he made the mistake of trading with the man he now knows to be a strong puncher. Still he insisted he would remain in the weight class where he says he feels strong.

The scene then shifted to Mexico as Rodel Mayol and Omar Nino battled for the WBC Light Flyweight title.

It was a solid fight until Nino hit Mayol with a low blow in round three. While Mayol stopped and waited for referee Vic Drachulich to intervene, Nino knocked Mayol out cold with a vicious left hook. Mayol left the fight on a stretcher and the bout was ruled a draw.

Kauffman, Cintron Dominate in Allentown, PA

Two of Reading, PA’s native sons made their triumphant returns to the ring last night as Travis Kauffman and Jason Cintron scored dominant wins over their opponents at the Rodeway Inn & Conference Center in Allentown, PA. King’s Promotions, who promoted the first boxing event in Allentown in two years, were proud to announce the event was a tremendous success as all 800 available seats were sold out.

In the heavyweight main event, Travis Kauffman boxed and banged his way to a shutout unanimous decision over Mike Miller. Kauffman, 228, came out in the first round looking to make a physical impression on the much larger Miller, 276, as he hammered hard body shots in the first round. Those body shots began to take their toll in the second round as Miller began to slow precipitously and allowed Kauffman to work his jab consistently.

Kauffman switched stances effortlessly and landed hard right hooks to the head and body. The durable Miller of Akron, OH absorbed thudding shots but remained standing for the duration of the fight. All three judges scored the fight 60-54 for Kauffman.

The win was Kauffman’s first fight back since losing a controversial fight with Tony Grano on Showtime last year.

“I was a little rusty and I wanted to get my rounds in,” said Kauffman, now 19-1 (15 KO). “I wish I had a little longer to train so I could have stopped him.”

Jason Cintron continued to put distance between himself and his only career loss by defeating Maurice Chalmers by unanimous decision. Cintron, 144, put Chalmers down hard with a right cross a minute into the first round but the defensive minded Chalmers held and survived. Cintron continued to box effectively and land hooks and right hands throughout that solidified the victory. Cintron moves to 12-1 (3 KO) while Chalmers drops to 7-10-1 (4 KO).

In other action, super-middleweight Farah Ennis of Philadelphia moved to 12-0 with a third round TKO of Emmanuel Gonzalez. Featherweight Coy Evans 7-0-1 (1 KO) of Philadelphia won a unanimous decision over a game Robert DaLuz. Allentown’s Eluid Torres raised his record to 3-1-2 (2 KO) with a third round knockout of John Willoughby. Derrick Webster of Glassboro, NJ moved to 5-0 (4 KO) with a fourth round stoppage of Pete Guthy.
