Jose Manuel Urtain vs. Alfredo Evangelista ~ "Slaughter in Spain"

[Bill Paxtom]

Round 3 >

Alfredo opened up the Round by boxing-and-moving.

Jose stalked, and looked to throw one of his bombs.

The fighters got into a brutal exchange at the {0:50 Mark}, and Alfredo got the
better of the trading.

Suddenly, the 33 year-old 'Birthday Boy' Jose Manuel Urtain looked 'winded'.

Then Alfredo took charge, and started working Jose over with left-hooks to the head
and right-hands to the body for the rest of the Round.

Round 4 >

Alfredo was back to working on Jose, and backed the veteran up and into the Ropes.

There, Alfredo slammed in solid punches as Jose was on the complete defensive.

Jose made a 'minor' charge at the {1:40 Mark} when he landed a few decent left-hooks
and a good right-hand. Jose then became more aggressive, and took charge for the next
30-Seconds.

Alfredo was forced to back off, and moved to clear his head and take-a-break.

Then Alfredo made his move at the {2:20 Mark}, and raked over Jose with more body punches
and short-chops to the head.

Alfredo continued with his steady barrage, and then 'stunned' Jose with a 'left-right' to the head,
forcing Jose to back up to the Ropes at the {2:50 Mark}.

Alfredo then 'wobbled' Jose with a big left-hook to the head at the {2:57 Mark}, and the veteran was
'out-on-his-feet' at the Bell ending Round 4.

Round 5 >

A battered Jose Manuel Urtain came out for Round 5.

Waiting for him, was a young 'Bull' in Alfredo Evangelista.

Alfredo wasted little time, and immediately went after the 'old veteran' by slamming in an assortment of
hooks to the body and 'bruised' face of Jose.

At the {0:40 Mark} Jose looked ready to fall, but he showed the heart of a Tiger and tried to fight back. But it
was only a short spurt, and just after the {1:00 Mark} he was sputtering on wobbly legs.

Alfredo then slammed in '2' left-hooks to the jaw of Jose, and sent him reeling 'defenseless'.

Jose's corner {Manager; Alfonso Del Rio} then threw in the towel, and the bout was stopped by a TKO @ 1:17 of Round 5.
