Martinez & Vazquez gain wins in Panama

By Anson Wainwright

Panama City - In the main event local Lightweight Ameth Diaz 24-7(18)
easily beat Nicaragua's Carlos Ramon Mairena 20-10-1(17) with a second
round KO in defence of his WBA Fedalatin & WBC Latino titles. It also
helped Diaz 24 bounce back from a defeat last November when Diaz lost
a WBC eliminator up at Light Welterweight to Souleyman M'Baye. Diaz is
WBA#11 at 135 currently.

Former WBO Bantamweight Champion Mauricio Martinez 35-8-1(23)
outpointed Journeyman Leopoldo Arrocha 9-11-2(6) unanimously 98-93 &
98-92x2 the match was at Super Bantamweight. At this stage of his
career Martinez who turns 33 later this month appears to have seen
better days but he maybe able to gain one last big fight.

In his second fight since he returned from a ten month hiatus Roberto
"La Arana" Vasquez 26-2(19) stopping Cesar Singo 21-4-1(12) in the
third round. Vasquez weighed a career high 118 while Singo was 115.
Vasquez is highly rated with the WBC #5, IBF #8 & WBO #11 at Flyweight
where his future future seems to be where he'll look to become a two
weight champion.

Ricardo "Maestrito" Cordoba 32-1-2(21) kept busy with a KO at 1.47 of
the third over Franklin Solis 11-4-1(7). Cordoba weighed 120 and can
certainly mix it with the best at Bantamweight & Super Bantamweight.
He has two draws with WBA 118 champion Wladimir Sidorenko & a points
win over current WBA 122 holder and countryman Celestine Caballero. At
25 he the young veteran has plenty of years in him. It could also be
argued that he is one of the best fighters in Boxing today who haven't
won a world title.

After suffering a defeat in an IBF Super Bantamweight eliminator to
Fernando Beltran Jnr. last October Jose Arboleda 23-3-1(9) bounced
back with a third round stoppage of overmatched Victor Julio Salgado
17-13-1(14).

Luis Conception 12-1(9) won the WBA Fedebol Super Flyweight title with
a fifth round KO over Luis William Singo Tenesaca 10-2-1(2).

Venezuela's Strawweight Carlos Luis Campos 12-0(8) maintained his
unbeaten start to his career with an eight round points win over
Michael Arango 7-7-1(6)

Also on the card Marcos Sune stopped Isaac Montenegro at Featherweight
in the third. In two woman match ups Ambar Fajardo won on points
beating Monica Acosta Siris over six also at 126. At Bantamweight Alys
Sanchez also won on points over four on her debut against Kathia
Montuto.
