Inaugural ICBL Azteca Open a Tremendous Success in Aguascalientes, Mexico PhilBoxing.com Wed, 07 Sep 2016 International Championship Boxing League (ICBL) Founder and CEO, Jack Perone Fulton, wishes to thank all involved with making the inaugural Azteca Open event a tremendous success. Held this past Saturday, September 3, in Aguascalientes, Mexico, in association with promoter Bernie Valenzula of BBB Promotions, the ICBL Azteca Open featured 21 bouts with a considerable number of these fighters looking to earn a spot in the ICBL 2017 inaugural season. In the night's main event, a WBC Latino Silver Title eliminator, Ontario, California's John "Bang Bang" Delperdang scored an eight-round majority decision over hometown favorite Oscar "Totti" Mejia. Behind after the first three rounds, Delperdang (8-1, 7 KOs) eventually wore down Mejia (8-1-1, 3 KOs) with punishing blows to the body and head, leading to a cut above Mejia's right eye. With the victory, Delperdang now holds the right to challenge the UK's Lewis Ritson for his WBC Latino Silver Title. In other ICBL-significant action, 10-time world champion kickboxer turned professional boxer Tyrone "King of the Ring" Spong of Miami, Florida, (via Paramaribo, Suriname), scored his sixth straight stoppage victory (6-0, 6 KOs) with a one-punch third-round destruction of formerly undefeated Mexican heavyweight Hugo Leon (3-1, 3 KOs). Watch a video of the impressive KO: Earlier in the night, super lightweight Ricardo (Riki) Lara (11-2, 7 KOs) of Jalisco, Mexico, demonstrated superior boxing skills while scoring a unanimous six-round decision over Nuevo Le?n, Mexico's Angel Rivera (10-8-1, 7 KOs). In yet another intriguing matchup, undefeated super featherweight Isaac "Canelito" Avelar delighted his hometown fans and took the undefeated "0" of Phoenix, Arizona's Juan Jose Rodriguez (6-1, 4 KOs) via third-round TKO. "All in all it was a great night of fights," said Jack Fulton. "The 'play it safe until you get a title' mentality doesn't exist in the ICBL and I commend all of tonight's fighters for embodying that philosophy. I wish to thank the WBC for their participation tonight and to my partner in the event, Bernie Valenzuela and his team from BBB Promotions for doing such a great job. The ICBL will be announcing more exciting events in the very near future." About the International Championship Boxing League The ICBL is the brainchild of Veteran Promoter Jack Fulton who developed the innovative "multi-weight-class parallel fan judging league platform." The ICBL team includes former President of the MVPGROUP Del Wilber and former Martin Agency Executive Director Bruce Kelly. The ICBL is a privately held company.
