Last night at the Gimnasio Municipal Number 1 in Puerto Madryn, Argentina, light welterweight Martin Antonio Coggi, 22-2-1 (12), retained his South American title for the first time with a second round KO of Brazil's Juciel Lima Nascimento, 20-9-1 (14).
Coggi had climbed to the top of the heap with a superb unanimous decision over longtime South American kingpin Carlos Wilfredo Vilches last November while Nascimento was coming way up in weight following his failed bid at the IBF international Feather crown against Frenchman Cyril Thomas last August.
On the undercard, Yesica Yolanda Bopp, 8-0 (3), retained her Interim WBA Female Light Flyweight title with a wide ten round points decision against Mexico's Jessica Chavez, 6-2-2 (1).
Speaking of Women's boxing, there was a good card on Saturday at Jean Pierre Sports Complex in Port-of-Spain in Trindad and Tobago as Ria Ramnarine, 11-5 (2), stopped Nancy Bonilla, 3-6 (1), in the eighth frame for the Interim WIBA Light Flyweight crown and super bantam Lisa Brown, 16-3-3 (5), stopped Maribel Santana, 10-7-1 (4), in the third for the Interim WIBA trophy.
On Friday, at Polideportivo Centenario in Los Mochis, Mexico, Daniel Ruiz, 15-1 (11), won the vacant Mexican Pacific Coast Featherweight title with a third round finishing of Rodolfo Garay, 20-15-1 (11).
