Details of the card/press
release: Undefeated
super lightweight Kendo "Tremendo" Castaneda lived up to his
nickname last night, stopping veteran Stan "The Man" Martyniouk
in the six round of the main event, which headlined another
installment of RJJ Boxing on UFC FIGHT PASSŪ, presented by RJJ
Boxing Promotions & Joey Gilbert Promotions, in association with
Silver Legacy Resort Casino at THE ROW.
Castaneda (17-0, 8 KOs), the reigning NABA super lightweight
champion, was impressive in this non-title fight, which was
contested in front of a sold-out crowd, by attacking his
Estonian-born opponent Martyniouk (20-3, 6 KOs) from the opening
bell.
"The plan was to dominate from the opening bell, starting strong
and finishing strong," a jubilant Castaneda said after the
fight. "It was the greatest fight of my career thus far, because
I fought an all-around, well experienced, well known boxer."
In his most significant fight to date, 25-year-old Castaneda
battered his overmatched foe who too often was trapped on the
ropes, firing right-hand shots to the head and lightning-quick
combinations, until the end ultimately came in the sixth round.
Castaneda unloaded on Martyniouk, who was dropped on the canvas,
forcing referee Vic Drakulich to halt the match.
"I finished him off as a lefty with punches in bunches when I
had him on the ropes. My performance was 'Tremendo' and big
names are coming. I want big names! It doesn't matter who for
the 'Tremendo' one, I just want big names!"
The co-featured event between local favorite Oscar "Chapito"
Vazquez(1-5-2-1, 3 KOs) and Mexican bantamweight Gilberto
Mendoza (15-7-3, 7 KOs) battle to an eight-round majority draw,
much to chagrin of his many fans in attendance.
Fighting for the first time in 17 months, Vasquez wanted to
fight the much taller Mendoza on the inside, moving forward at a
steady, relentless pace. Mendoza, who has his fair share of fans
from where he lives, Modesto (CA), faired equally in an
action-packed match in which both fighters stayed in the pocket
and went toe-to-toe.
Another Reno-based fighter, featherweight Ricardo Lucio-Galvan
(3-0, 2 KOs) treated his fans to a dominant four-round unanimous
decision over Mobley Villegas (2-1, 2 KOs), of Amarillo, Texas.
The quick-handed Lucio-Galvan, fighting for the first time in 20
months, didn't show any rust, successfully jabbing his way in
the opening rounds, dropping his opponent in the fourth.
Reno super lightweight Peter Cortez (2-1, 1 KO) opened the UFC
FIGHT PASS live-stream with a second-round technical knockout of
previously undefeated Daquan Mays (3-1, 1 KO), of Las Vegas.
Mays' corner stopped the fight at the end of the second round.
The first bout of the evening was a shutout win for Reno
lightweight Kenny Davis, Jr. (1-2-1, 1 KO) versus Phillip
Schwartz (0-3) by scores of 40-36 across the board.
