Planet Hollywood Rocks

Report & Photos By William Trillo

 

From Paris Hilton to Mike Tyson, Planet Hollywood lived up to its name in both stars & drama. The WBO Light Welterweight title scrap crammed more action into 1 minute than we have seen in quite some time.

In a rematch of a highly controversial tussle, Ricardo Torres & Kendall Holt went at it again, and this one lived up to all the hype. After going down twice in about 30 seconds Holt regained his composure and in a stunning turnaround he blasted out Torres leaving the former Champ dangling on the ropes after landing a wicked right hand.

Although there are “No Excuses” here, there is still controversy as Torres appeared to be stunned by a gnarly headbutt just before he was put out for the night.
 

Light welterweight Lamont Peterson TKO’d Rogelio Castaneda Jr after nine rounds.

Truth is Casteneda’s corner threw in the towel and he probably could have finished the bout on his feet. If this was supposed to be a breakout fight for Peterson it failed.

The majority of the media in attendance agreed this performance did little to solidify Peterson with the top Light Welters.
 

Looks like Super middleweight Josiah Judah may have the same set of whiskers as his brother. In another bout that didn’t last one round Don Mouton TKO’d Judah at the 1:42 mark. I don’t have to tell you that when Mouton went to the Gorilla card and beat on his chest after the ref jumped in and stopped it that I was as thrilled as can be.
 

Surprise Surprise, another left handed featherweight from The Philippines! That’s right, Manny’s countryman Glenn Gonzales did his idol proud as he defeated Robert DaLuz with a 6 round unanimous decision.
 

Bantamweight Michael Franco dumped Juan Javier Lagos in the 5TH and then went on to take a clear cut unanimous decision.
 

Super bantamweight Ana Julaton & Johana Mendez fought to a six round Draw in this female battle. No jokes about a tie being just like kissing your sister!

Super featherweight Andrew Cancio dropped a majority decision to Carlos Vinan over 6.

Light middleweight Yosef Judah drops decision Luis Tapia over 4

Light middleweight Trinidad Marry loses to Omar Coffi in a 4 round unanimous decision.
