Two up-and-coming Texas-based prospects took the big stage last night on the Munguia-Ryder undercard at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The Texans completed the two step and went 2-0 as both "Goyo" Gregory Morales and "DFG" Darius Fulghum!
San Antonio-based prospect Gregory Morales kicked things off and extended his winning streak to three and had his best overall performance in quite some time in dominating Ronal Ron over eight competitive but largely one-sided and clear-cut rounds. Morales mobbed his record 16-1 (9). Morales worked behind a well-timed and thudding jab that stopped Ron in his tracks throughout the eight-round affair. Morales showed vastly improved footwork and head movement as he consistently made his opponent miss. Morales scored with right hands throughout the affair. The 1-2 for Morales scored all night for the Texan as Ron had no answer and was unable to stop it. Morales would occasionally exchange on the inside before pivoting back out and controlling the fight from the outside as he rolled to the hard-earned unanimous decision by scores of 80-79-73 and 78-74.
Fulghum kept the winning going for the Texans as he picked up a points victory as well, Fulghum moved to 10-0 (9),with the win over Alantez Foz and went the distance for the first time in his carrer. Things got intersting only after the final bell sounded and one judge scored the bout 95-95 an even draw, while the other two judges handed in much more appriotatecards of 100-90 and 98-92. Fulghum, originally hails from Kileed and now makes his way out of Houston got off to a bit of a slower start. Fox, by far the best opponet DFG has faced boxed evenly with the Texans over the first three rounds. However, Fulghum got cooking in the fourth and Fox started locking him up and holding on as Fulghum started to loosen up and scored with more and more power shots in the middle rounds. The sixthand seventh were dominat rounds for the unbeatean Texan scored with a right hand to the side of his mans head and follwoed that up later in the stanza with a barrage of body shots. The seventh was more of the same and it looked as if Fulghum may get a stoppage. A right hand buckled Fox’s legsaround the midway point and Fulghum began to unleash on his wounded opponent. Fox made it to the bell and was able to surive the next nine minutes but it was clear cut who had won the fight as Fulghum landed more than 100 punches more than his outgunned opponent.
