El Corral West in Fort Worth hosted a Thursday night of Boxing! A King’s Promotion Card featured two amateur standouts who shined early on in their professional development and an undefeated and upstart welterweight coming off an upset of Sammy "Cobra" Brown. In the undercard portion, Jaycob Ramos stepped into the ring for the second time as a professional. The Dallas native made his pro debut back in May after a massively successful amateur career. Immediately his speed and skills were obvious. Using his lightning-quick speed and reflexes. Ramos was able to outgun his opponent, Xzavier Jackson. Jackson was unable to get on the inside and landed a thudding combination capped off with a left hook to the body that set the tone for the night. Ramos stayed on the gas in the second round, unleashing a flurry to the head that again buckled Jackson. One final clean combination that battered Jackson against the ropes sealed the deal, and that finished the job as the referee Laurence Cole waved off the bout at the 2:27 mark of round number two to move Ramos to 2-0 (1).
Also, Fernando Solís stayed undefeated and moved to 2-0 (1) with a one-sided beatdown of Waldo Zamudio, with the official stoppage coming at 2:58 of the 3rd round.
Two-time national champion Alexis Mones, of Fort Worth, boxed beautifully over a four-round affair in overwhelming Macy Breaux, of Larose, Lacrosse. Mones started cautiously firing off her jab and keeping Breaux on her back foot. A clean left hook from the Fort Worthian landed flush on the side of Breaux's head. The momentum carried into the second round as Mones picked up the volume, throwing in combination she landed with clean right hands and left hooks and rattled her opponent again just before the end of the second. By the third round, she was landing with clean heavy artillery, one left hook late in the third again staggered her opponent. Mones cruised through the fourth and picked up the first win of her promising professional career by scores of 39-37x3.
In the main event, Jose Gomez kept the momentum going after upsetting Sammy Brown back in April. He dominated an outmatched and outgunned Raul Garica JR. Gomez the much bigger, stronger, man started the fight off his back foot. After a somewhat slow start and feeling out process, Ramos ripped a body shot with just a couple of seconds left in the opening round as the first punch of consequence. Gomez started the second round where the first left off and rocked Garcia again with a left-right combination. Moments later a right hand dropped Garcia midway through the second. Ramos jumped on his wounded opponent unleashing a whirlwind of power shots, a left hook came in and staggered Garcia again. Gomez followed up, and another barrage put his overwhelmed opponent down for a second time. He again got up, and Gomez again battered his outmatched opponent against the ropes as referee Robert Chappa came in and waved the bout off at 2:24 of the second round.
