With a triple bill of championships lined up,
promoters Main Events promised a lively show of pugilistic action, featuring
Oxnard, California’s “El Feroz” Fernando Vargas up against former world
welterweight king (WBA 1994 – 1997) Ike Quartey, the Ghana “Bazooka” for the
IBF light middleweight crown. In his 4th defense of the title since
winning the honors from “Yori Boy” Campas in mid December of ’97, Vargas
contained the Bazooka’s blasts and managed the distance to take a broadly
scored victory by unanimous decision. In the IBA bout, Antonio Diaz decked Ivan
Robinson for a technical knockout in the 11th, while in the USBA
& NABA sanctioned title contest Jose Flores defeated Paul Vaden by
unanimous decision. |
