Tonight, Telefutura’s “Solo Boxeo” boxing series featured undefeated prospect Steven Luevano fighting at 122-pounds for the first time in his career. Luevano took on the battle tested veteran, Ruben Estanislao. The twelve-round contest was a tougher than expected affair as Estanislao definitely showed up to take Steven’s undefeated record. The twelve round contest featured a lot of two way action, as both combatants tested each others meddle. Ruben had his moments during the contest, but was outclassed overall by the much faster and more talented Luevano. Steven showed some grit and determination as he stood in there and exchanged leather with the warring Mexican. At the end of the fight, Luevano took a lopsided, but hard fought twelve-round unanimous decision. Steven, who started his career at 130-pounds, is a very large 122 pound southpaw with good skills and fast hands. If he can continue to make the weight, Luevano can be a major player at the super bantamweight division.
