North Bergen based and Peruvian national heroes Jonathan Maicelo and Carlos "Mina" Zambrano remained perfect last night after scoring easy stoppages at Coliseo Niño Heroe Manuel Bonilla in Lima, Peru. Juan "JZ" Zegarra, also of North Bergen, was held to a controversial no contest.
Maicelo retained his WBC Latino Lightweight title just 1:08 into his bout with Colombian Victor Julio Salgado. A double left hook to the head put Salgado down for the count. Maicelo improves to 12-0 (8 KO's), while Salgado slides 18-13-1 (15 KO's)
Zambrano, one of the top prospects in Jersey, got rid of Oscar Carrillo Villa of Colombia with a jab right hook combo. Villa was reportedly out cold before he hit the canvas. Zambrano, a slick boxing featherweight, is now 10-0 (4 KO's). Villa falls to 15-8 (5 KO's).
Zegarra, a muscular 140 lb prospect, controversially suffered the first blemish on his record after a clash of heads with Hector Medina ended his night before it even started. Medina headbutted Zegarra early in the first round, and was badly cut over his eye. Zegarra became infuriated following Medina's dirty tactics and was gunning for a knockout, but the reefree consulted with the ringside doctor, who said the bout had to be stopped. Team Zegarra insisted that their fighter would have ended the fight seconds later had there not been a headbutt.
