Ángel Fierro defeats Puerto Rican Alberto Machado by elimination

Salinas. Mexican Ángel Fierro overcame two falls and all predictions to defeat Puerto Rican Alberto “El Explosivo” Machado in the playoffs to win the World Boxing Organization’s (WBO) version of the NABO belt, the £ 135 “City USA” show that took place at the Olympic Hostel.

Machado started the fight by keeping his distance from the jab and even dropped Fierro with a straight hook. In the second, history repeated itself when the Mexican visited the canvas again with a similar blow.

However, from the fourth Fierro shortened the distance and began to connect effectively to Machado’s anatomy. The hooks on the left and right have found their target. Machado had no choice but to go to the crisis.

In the fifth, Fierro’s confidence increased. He was not afraid of Machado’s strength and it seemed a matter of time until, with a combination, the Mexican knocked down Machado, who was unable to continue. Referee José H. Rivera decided to stop the match in the 47 seconds of the sixth episode.

“It was a good fight, but the hand came. I got up well, I wanted to continue, but you have to respect the referee’s decision “, Machado reacted. “This is part of the business.”

It will take some time for Machado to decide which path to take.

“I have a wife and a family to take care of. Boxing was my job, but I kept looking. It is very premature to say. I have a team that will help me make decisions, “he said.
