This welterweight from Cajemé in northwestern Sonora, currently 15-0 (11), is headlining an Iron Boy Promotions card on Thursday night, with his opponent currently TBA. He was supposed to be taking on Jorge "El Pitbull" Humberto Rodríguez but he withdrew for some reason this past weekend. Precious little footage of him exists online. I could only turn up a couple of bouts, and only in partiality. The first one is from last August, an early knockout in Guasave, the backyard of his weight-ballooning (grazing a pasture ranging from welter to super middle! ) journeyman victim. The second is from just six weeks later in Ciudad Obregón. Santiago Domínguez vs. Adrián "Chamuco" Reyes: This content is protected A few months earlier, Santiago Domínguez vs. Daniel Armando "El Mulato" Valenzuela: This content is protected He appears to be a pretty archetypal Mexican slugger. Very slow-handed but he gets full leverage on each shot and digs the body well. Reliant more on grit and physical durability to protect him as he delivers his payloads than on any semblance of defensive finesse. Unlike some of his brethren, he is at least cognizant of the jab's existence and in fact uses it quite well at times, mostly to set up his free-swinging offense, particularly that signature left hook on the liver classically favored by his countrymen - very good power in that. His "straight" right, however, is...frankly, awful. Best left sheathed, until he finds a coach that can forge a proper weapon of it. While it will probably, on short notice, end up being a tomato can and step down even from Rodríguez, I'll be tuning in to check out this prospect. It'll be the only televised or streamed boxing we get between last weekend and this upcoming one (starting with Seansuree Moonsuree vs. Tatsuya Fukuhara II and Michał Cieślak vs. Ola Durodola on Friday).
I hate to break some potential unfortunate news but it doesn’t even seem like this show is happening unless Iron Boy is just the co-promoter. I haven’t seen a single post on any of their social media pages about it, and they oddly skip from Iron Boy 50, which was in April, to Iron Boy 52, which will be in July, on their website and on their Facebook. Hope I’m wrong though.
Weird. Maybe it is happening. I’ll shoot Iron Boy a message on Facebook, they’re usually pretty responsive
Did they mention anything on a start time? For some reason there isn't a word on this event on any of their social media pages. It goes from promotional material for Iron Boy 50 in April, to posters hyping up Iron Boy 52 in July, and some of their MMA events on the side...but nothing about tonight.
This content is protected It’s a bit odd that they didn’t post anything about it before today. Apparently it’s not a numbered event in their series, which begs the unimportant question “what happened to Iron Boy 51?” Edit: Oh I think it may be a charity or company event without tickets available, which would explain why they haven’t posted much about it.
He just destroyed 35 year old former Uzbek prospect Ravshan Rapuqovich Hudaynazarov in under a minute. Kid has scary power - still raw & flawed, and probably not top 50 h2h at the weight in terms of "total package", but he might just be on the shortlist of specifically hardest-punching welters, after Spence/Pac/Thurman.
