In a well attended Shuan boxing promotions card at the fabulous Jaragua Renaissance resort in Santo Domingo, highly ranked 140 pounder Alberto Puello 13-0 (8 Ko’s) produced a scintillating performance in stopping Mexican Ricardo Gutierrez 11-2-1 (6 Ko’s) at the halfway point of the opening round. The rangy Puello, didn’t waste any time, backing up his opponent before closing the show with a deadly left hook to the body.. Gutierrez wanted no more part in the proceedings and was counted out at 1.28.. The undefeated Dominican retained his WBC Latino and WBA Fedelatin titles and slides towards the WBA’s top 10.
In an interesting Co-feature, former WBA Cruiserweight Champion Guillermo Jones 41-3-2 (30 Ko’s) took on renowned amateur standout Ytalo Perea 10-3 (6 Ko’s) of Ecuador for the vacant Fedelatin heavyweight title.. The contest was surprisingly entertaining, the Former Pan American Gold medalist giving Jones a lot to think about early.. Both men enjoyed sporadic success throughout the middle rounds, with the veteran appearing to take control towards the conclusion of the fight.. Ringside judges saw it as, 107-102, 104-105, 107-102.. surprisingly close, awarding the 45 year old Jones a split decision victory.. Mirageboxing had it slightly wider at 106-103.
The deceptive Panamanian looked relatively fresh, considering he’d not boxed in over 16 months, but looked light years from his days as 190 pound champion.. Jones last world title action was over 4 years ago..
