At the Auditorio Plaza La Condesa in Mexico City, Mexico, Daniel Ponce De Leon (38-2, 33KOs) stopped Orlando Cruz (16-2-1, 7KOs) in the third round to pick up the vacant WBC Latino featherweight title.
Ponce De Leon would like a shot at full champion Elio Rojas next.
After two lackluster rounds of action and head clashes, Ponce De Leon brought the pain in the third when he trapped Cruz and launched a barrage of punches to send him down. Thinking better of the situation, Cruz stayed down for the full count.
In the co-feature, welterweight puncher Lucas Martin Matthysse (26-0, 24KOs) continued his streak of broken bodies with a knockout of former champion Vivian Harris (29-4-1, 19KOs) in the fourth round.
It was a war from the first round. Both guys were throwing hard shots to tests each other's beards. Matthysse proved to have the better chin as he ate Harris' big punches and kept coming with hard shots. Matthysse forgot about going to head for a little while in the third and began to batter Harris' body. That body work really got to Harris and it slowed him down. Matthysse went right back on the attack in the fourth with shots to the body and the head. He then got Harris in trouble with a right hand bomb. The ref stopped the fight because he was able to close the show. Harris' team was upset over the stoppage. Read More
