Víctor Santillán TKO3 Noel Reyes Cepeda... Dominican super bantamweight Víctor Santillán delivered a swift win on Saturday night, stopping his countryman, Noel Reyes Cepeda, in the third round to capture the interim WBA title. Naoya Inoue remains the unchallenged world champion of the weight class, including the WBA title holder. Headlining at the Coliseo Carlos Teo Cruz in Santo Domingo, Santillán ended matters at 1:13 of Round 3. From the outset, his superior footwork and sharp accuracy dictated the pace. Reyes Cepeda, known for his punching power, struggled to close distance against the Puerto Rico-based fighter. The finish came after a sustained offensive burst left Reyes defenseless, prompting the referee’s intervention despite the fallen fighter’s protests. With the victory, Santillán improves to 16-2, notching his second consecutive knockout and positioning himself as a player in the 122-pound division. Reyes Cepeda sees a winning streak dating back to 2018 snapped, his record now standing at 19-5.
