Moments ago at the Finish Line Sports Grill in Pomona, California, Russian Andrey Klimov retained his WBC USA Lightweight Crown with a hard fought majority decision victory over gutsy Robert Rodriguez, 6-1, 2KOs with scores of 78-74, 75-73, and 76-76. The win stretched Andrey Klimov’s unbeaten record to 13-0, 7KOs. His unrelenting attack eventually wore down the Mexican challenger who was forced to cover up and just return fire in spurts particularly in the final rounds. It was a grandslam for the Russians as Andrey Klimov’s two other compatriots similarly posted impressive wins, with lanky Junior Welterweight Alexander Podresov making a target practice of game but outgunned Imarjoe Miller, to get a shutout points victory, 40-36, and Lightweight Vage Saruhanyan TKOed hometown favorite Ronald Rodriguez in the 4th round to complete the Russian carnage.
Rest of the bout:
Ricky Duenas knocked out Rufino Flores in the second round of their Junior Middleweight battle.
Super Featherweight Jesus Partida posted an upset majority decision win over Carlos Gonzalez, 40-36, 39-37, and 38-38. Jessie Villanueva scored a majority decision over Emmanuel Machorro, 39-37 twice, and 38-38 in their super bantamweight fight.
Welterweight Jessie Roman upped his perfect record to 10-0, 6KOs with a unanimous decision over Ramon Flores, 40-36 accross the board.
