BRANDON RIOS RETAINS WBA LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE BY PULVERIZING URBANO ANTILLON
Saturday 9 July 2011 Home Depot Center, Carson, California, United States WBA lightweight champion Brandon Rios, 25 years-old, scored an explosive third round TKO over challenger Urbano Antillon, 28 years-old from Mexico, retaining his crown for the first time. Both fighters met in the center of the ring and traded shots in every round as long as it lasted. Antillon was dropped early in round three and fought back valiantly until he was floored again and referee David Mendoza waved it off when Antillon staggered into the ropes on his own moments later. The time of the stoppage was 2:49 of round three. Lightweight brawler Urbano Antillon brought the fury from the opening bell against Brandon Rios, throwing hard left hooks and righthands, but Rios answered right back with bombs of his own. Both fighters were landing at an alarming rate in the first stanza, but it was Rios who started to land vicious uppercuts through Antillon’s guard, and that was the beginning of the end for Urbano Antillon. Both fighters landed hard jabs to start Round 2, but it wasn’t long before they switched back to exchanging violent powershots. Rios continued to find the mark with his uppercut and seemed to be getting the better of most of the exchanges, although Antillon never stopped coming forward. Rios dropped Antillon hard at the beginning of Round 3 and Antillon showed tremendous heart in rising to his feet. Rios pounded away at him against the ropes when the fight resumed and Antillon tried his best to fight back, but he got dropped by a huge righthand that he never saw coming late in the round and wound up flat on his face. Once again Antillon beat the count, but was on unsteady legs as the fight resumed, and the referee waved off the bout after Antillon reacted badly to series of follow up punches by Rios. Rios remained unbeaten and improved to 28-0-0 (20 KOs) while Antillon falls to 28-3-0 (20 KOs). After the bout Rios said that he was surprised that it ended so early, but he wasn’t surprised that he scored a knockout. He had an ice pack on his right hand, which he injured during the short contest, and said that he is willing to take on the best at 135 and 140.
