Ornelas Ready For More

Report & Photos By Roy & Marlene Marquez

 

Light heavyweight Enrique Ornelas cracked Julius Fogle with a leaping left–right that dropped Fogle and rendered him unwilling to continue. Fogle rolled onto the seat of his shorts and watched Referee Jerry Cantu count him out at 1:12 of the fourth.

Ornelas v. Fogle headlined a seven bout fight card waged before 1,765 fight fans at Club Nokia – LA Live.

In the first, Fogle (15-4) snapped an effective jab that repeatedly pierced the Ornelas guard. His speed continued to bother Ornelas until late in the second when Ornelas trapped Fogle against the ropes and fired hooks to the body.

Ornelas (30-6) closed the distance in the third and landed both hands with regularity. The assault continued into the fourth until Ornelas dropped Fogle with the fight ending combination.

“I would love to fight on Shane’s card”, said Ornelas following the fight. Given the Shane Mosley v. Floyd Mayweather fight is in a little more than a week it is apparent Ornelas is ready for more.

A single left hook by Roberto Reyes (1-0) put Azamat Umarzoda flat on his back and down for the count. Umarzoda (0-1) never saw the punch but felt it to the core. Referee Ray Corona waived off the contest at 2:45 of the first round.
 

Los Angeles based cruiserweight Deon Elam walked through Philadelphia’s Andre Hemphill on route to a four round unanimous decision victory. By the second Elam (11-1) landed several chopping right hands against an increasingly defensive Hemphill.

Hemphill (8-15-2) increased his work rate in the third but was largely ineffective. Elam landed a pretty three punch combination in the fourth before knocking Hemphill down with a right hand moments before the bell.

It was a curious contest in that both fighters wore the same trunks and signed to fight six rounds.
 

Undefeated bantamweight Khabir Suleymanov white washed southpaw Benji Garcia over six rounds to improve his record to 10 wins without a loss. In the early rounds Garcia (14-14-1) matched intensity with the ultra aggressive Suleymanov and had the Russian backing up. Suleymanov responded well by blunting Garcia’s rushes with well timed right hands. In the third, Suleymanov snapped Garcia’s head with a four punch combination along the ropes.

A Suleymanov right cross dislodged Garcia’s mouthpiece in round four. Suleymanov opened the sixth with three head-popping uppercuts. Throughout the bout Suleymanov’s short, straight right hands repeatedly beat Garcia’s looping overhand shots to the punch.
 

Luis Martinez outworked Juan Sandoval over four rounds to win a close contest by majority decision. In the second, Martinez (2-3-1) staggered Sandoval (1-2) with a left hook that sent him half way across the ring.

The junior lightweights traded blows in a furious fourth that ended with a toe-to-toe exchange at the bell. The final scores favored Martinez 40-36, 40-36, 38-38.
 

The heavy hands of Hiromitsu Miura (2-0) wore down southpaw Nathan Bedwell over four light heavyweight rounds to record a 40-36, 39-37, 39-37 unanimous decision victory.

Miura’s (2-0) steady body attack slowed Bedwell and readied him for straight right hands up top. Bedwell (0-2) fought gamely but tired noticeable and lost form over the final two rounds.
