Jhonny B. Goode!
Former champ Jhonny Gonzalez too good for Pastrana, takes ‘em out in four; Escalante stops Martinez in three
Ringside by Chris Cozzone
Racking up their fourth straight victories since suffering setbacks, 122-pounders Jhonny Gonzalez—a former champ at 118—and Antonio Escalante, former contender, proved to a feisty pack of fight fans, last night at the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa, in Cabazon, Calif., that they are, once again, ready for a top shelf showdown.
Headlining the Golden Boy-promoted card, televised on Telefutura, Gonzalez, of Mexico City, four wins after losing his bantamweight belt to Gerry Penalosa, took out Colombian Mauricio Pastrana in four rounds.
Bouncing back from his fight with Pastrana—an upset kayo loss last year—Escalante, of El Paso, made Albuquerque’s David Martinez his fourth straight ‘W’, with a body attack in the third, in last night’s semi-main.
The bout began with Gonzalez and Pastrana analyzing one another for much of the first. Giving up five inches, Pastrana was more than game—or Gonzalez was just cautious. With Pastrana bulling his way forward, Gonzalez was content to wait out the round while jabbing away at the Colombian, trying to evade the shorter man’s overhand rights. Halfway through the round, the two met in the center and traded shots, both landing equally.
Gonzalez started to move forward in the second, landing quick left and right hands while forcing Pastrana back. Jabbing at Pastrana and watchful of the overhand counter shots thrown by his foe, the somewhat cautious Gonzalez was still hit by Pastrana, but, in the final minute, Jhonny got his guns and blazed away. Double left hooks, top and bottom, hurt Pastrana, and encouraged the former champ to blast away at the body until the bell rang.
Gonzalez started to dominate the fight in the third, with his left while working the body. Big rights by Pastrana kept him in the game, but, again, in the final minute, the two duked it out, both landing left hooks but Gonzalez giving better than getting.
Boxing beautifully, Gonzalez took over in the fourth, jabbing and coming at Pastrana, rocking him with big right hands, then flooring him with an uppercut for the one and only knockdown of the fight. When Pastrana got up, Gonzalez unleashed a barrage of punches, forcing Referee Ray Corona to stop the fight at 2:32.
