Prospects and rising fighters that have lost recently *Spoilers*
7/24/09
Unbeaten and highly touted Puerto Rican prospect Juan Carlos Velazquez, had no answers for the limited but constant pressure of Jose Angel Beranza. After watching his brother put in a subpar performance, a mixture of nerves lights and game opponent seemed to shut down the young as evident in his early lack a balance and stability en route to a UD loss.

Unbeaten and Saddo ranked Lightweight Urbano Antillon met his stylistic match against one of the slicker products I've seen Venezuala produce in Miguel Acosta. A perfectly timed counter uppercut floored Antillon as the fight was waved off.

Young Golden Boy prospect Charles Huerta a crowd favorite known for his power and his ability to impose his will, was shockingly outclassed in a light speed slugfest that lasted less than a minute with obscure Derrick Wilson showing he could back up his talk with perfectly time counter left hook that launched Huerta back into the ropes time of stoppage 0:59 of round 1

Marvin Quintero, known for his agressive style was no match for the countering ability of weathered veteran Tyrone Harris. Harris had staggered Quintero twice in the fight when he elected to let off the gas, finally after taking a breather in the 7th, Harris came out in the 8th strafing Quintero with straight punches forcing Caiz Jr. to step in and call for a halt to the action.
Personally I think these guys are losing because they are facing better competition than they would have in years past at this stage. I think it's a good thing, it's ridiculous to have half of the fighters in any division with an undefeated record. I think this shows a good direction for boxing as a whole
Anyone else have an opinion on this?
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
