In Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, former WBA interim light heavyweight champion Felix “Mangu” Valera stepped back into ring action against fellow countryman Andy Perez but in the cruiserweight division. Valera (23-5, 20 KOs) leveled Perez (20-15, 15 KOs) with a vicious, right-hand body blow in just two rounds.
“I feel really good at that weight,” declared Valera, “I’m ready to fight the best.”
Other results on the nine-bout card:
- Misael Vasquez (17-4-1, 15 KOs) won by TKO in 5 rounds vs Jairo Burgos (5-7, 3 KOs) in a wild shootout that had the crowd on its feet, 130lbs
- Anyelo Munoz (19-39, 11 KOs) won by split decision over 6 rounds vs Kevin Figaro (9-8, 7 KOs) in the jr Lighweight class, also an action packed war.
