Luis Torres wins lightweight mini-tournament

Luis Torres W10 Diego Andrade... Luis “Koreano” Torres (16-0, 10 KOs) defeated Diego Andrade (14-7-2) in  the inaugural "WCBS 4-Man Lightweight Tournament” championship in last night’s RJJ Boxing show at Palenque de la Expo in Obregón Sonora, México. The 20 year-old Torres, who fought in his hometown, was arguably facing the toughest opponent of his young career, as Andrade had defeated 29-1-2 Jorge Lara in 2020.  Torres took early control, winning the first seven rounds on one of the judges’ scorecards, 6 of 7 on another, and he cruised to victory from there.  Official scores were 97-93 (twice) and 99-91.
 
Bryan Zamarripa W8 Yair Marmolejo Rojas... In the co-feature of the UFC Fight Pass broadcast, Bryan “Zama” Zamarripa (11-1, 3 KOs) edged previously unbeaten Yair Marmolejo Rojas (7-1-2, 5 KOs) by way of eight-round majority decision in an evenly-matched bout. Two scores of 76-74 overruled a 75-75 tally.
 
ADDITIONAL RESULTS
 
The development of 19 year-old lightweight Marco Cota Moreno (7-0, 5 KOs) continued. Moreno, who was a decorated amateur boxer, stopped Juan Leonel “La Vitola” Ortega Resendez (4-3-1, 2 KOs) in the third round. Hot prospect Moreno had a 146-4 amateur record, including 5 Sonora State Championships. Sonora is a hotbed of Mexican boxing having produced the likes of Julio Cesar Chavez and so many other greats.  
 
In the UFC Fight Pass opener, Pedro Penunuri Borgaro (3-0, 1 KO) floored Hector Avila Lozano (1-1, 1 KO) in the first round, which proved to be the difference as Borgaro won a four-round unanimous decision by scores of 39-36 and 38-37 (twice).
