Hometown Throwdown
by Earl Orr VNewz
It was an exciting night of fights at the Las Vegas Sports Center last night, as Pochiro Promotions put together their first card, entitled “Hometown Throwdown”. The event was one of what is expected to be many more in the near future. It featured six bouts, with referees Tony Weeks and Robert Byrd alternating as the third men in the ring.
In the first fight, Bronson Stultz (Henderson, NV) scored the sole knockout of the evening over Eric Goodall, who put up a good fight until the accumulation of body punches thrown by Stultz eventually weakened and diminished him in the third round.
Next up, Cameron Krael (3-4-2, 0 KO) of Las Vegas, NV won a unanimous decision over Wilber Lopez in a four-round bout. Krael put up a good showing by walking Lopez down and pinning him against the ropes multiple times. He was also able to avoid many of Lopez's power punches.
After that, we had Yosmani Abru (4-7-1, 0 KO) of Las Vegas, NV give Brady Rein (2-1, 2 KOs) of Riverside, CA his first professional loss, earning a unanimous decision in a four-round middleweight bout. Abru had a distinct edge in speed and boxing skill, while the power of Rein had always posed a threat throughout the fight.
In the next fight, Cesear Valenzuela outpointed a game but defensively lacking David Yanez (2-6-1, 0 KO) to win a unanimous decision over the course of six rounds. While Yanez won some points with his eager aggressiveness and landed some good shots, it seemed that Valenzuela won the judges over by landing the cleaner and harder punches.
In the co-main event, Yosi Ramirez put up a valiant effort against Sergio Lopez, both featherweights hailing from Las Vegas, NV, but it did not appear to be enough as the fight went to the scorecards in a six-rounder. Lopez did enough to get his first professional victory and deliver Ramirez his first professional loss.
Lastly, Antton Slaughter (4-1-1, 1 KO) of Columbus, OH edged in to get a majority decision over hometown favorite, Pedro Toledo (2-1-1, 0 KO), in a main event that garnered much enthusiasm from the audience as they chanted and cheered their hometown fighter on. As the fight went to the scorecards, it was Slaughter who received the nod from the judges.
In conclusion, Pochiro Promotions along with T Butler delivered an excellent card to the locals of Las Vegas and should be widely congratulated for giving the boxing fans in the community a chance to witness club fights as no other company is doing at this time. Boxing superstars, Zab Judah along with Chad Dawson, were among the hundreds in attendance to support this event. If you were unfortunate enough to miss the Hometown Throwdown, do not worry. Hometown Throwdown 2 will be coming in fall of this year. Tickets will be available for purchase at www.pochiroboxing.com.

" A Windgap woman faces several charges after Pittsburgh Police said they found two boys drunk along Windgap Avenue. They were in the area shoveling snow for money, but investigators said instead of just giving them cash, Rochelle Stewart gave them alcohol. It was a call that came in to 911 dispatchers as a reported burglary, when Pittsburgh Police arrived in the neighborhood Wednesday evening, they soon determined that other crimes had been committed at the hands of Stewart. Court documents said she agreed to pay $5 to the boys, who looked as if they were 12 or 13 years old, for shoveling her walkway. Police say as they were doing so, she invited them inside for hot chocolate. That led to her filling their cups with vodka and wine and allegedly tried to touch them inappropriately, according to investigators. ?That?s a shame. That?s very sad,? said Rose Rizzo, who lives in the neighborhood. ?It?s very scary. You never know nowadays, you gotta watch your children a lot.? Neighbors who didn?t want to speak on camera told Channel 11 they saw the boys stumbling down the street but didn?t think anything of it at the time. Police said the boys went back to Stewart?s house when they realized one of them had forgotten his coat inside. That?s when Stewart called 911, telling dispatchers the kids were drug dealers. When police arrived, Stewart appeared extremely drunk and initially told investigators that the boys were never inside her house. Police soon found the boy?s missing coat on her couch and a bottle of vodka that was half empty, according to court documents. The boys also showed police a video taken inside the house, allegedly showing her rubbing one of their arms and shoulder. ?Nothing like that happens here. It?s a very quiet community. We have a nice setup in this Windgap neighborhood here,? said Nick Mancini, a neighbor. ?[I?m] very shocked, and very disappointed.? Police took the boys home." - WPXI | Posted by Thrillz |
