Beltran Stops Vinan in 7

According to Rocco Morales of Fightnews.com

Ray Beltran overcame the very determined challenge of Newark's Carlos Viran to finally stop him after 7 rounds. The southpaw Beltran started off quickly in the first round, landing many hard right hooks to the head of Vinan but Vinan not only weathered the storm but took control of the fight and swept the second, third and fourth rounds. Just as it appeared the fight was slipping away from the Freddie Roach trained Beltran, however, he awoke in round five and started putting a hurting on Vinan, particularly in the seventh round when Vinan had no answer for the right hooks of Beltran which thudded repeatedly off the head of Vinan.

The corner of Vinan wisely stopped the bout before the eighth round could begin to save their valiant fighter from further damage. By TKO victory, Beltran captures the vacant USBA lightweight title and improves to 24-4 (16KO) while Vinan, who fought at an ability well above his record would indicate, drops to 10-9-4 (2KO).

Vinan Makes Weight for USBA Title Bout!

Newark's Carlos Vinan scaled in at 133.4 pounds for his USBA Lightweight title showdown with hometown favorite/Freddie Roach trainer Ray Beltran Jr tonight in California.

Vinan, 10-8-2 (2 KO's), is rated #15 by the IBF and upset top rated contender Anthony Mezaache last summer in AC. A victory by Vinan will spring him further up the rankings in his atypical quest to fight for a world title.

Beltran, 23-4 (15 KO's), has just one fight since a September 2008 knockout loss to Ameth Diaz. In that bout, which took place last September, Beltran stopped David Torres in seven rounds.

Vinan and Beltran will meet over twelve rounds at the Warner Center Marriott in Woodland Hills, CA.
