  • Gavern Edges Quezada in Lemoore
    Gavern Edges Quezada in Lemoore LEMOORE, CALIFORNIA — In an entertaining ten-round affair, longtime journeyman Jason Gavern scored the biggest win of his career and upset the future plans of WBC #9 ranked heavyweight Manuel Quezada in the process, taking a split decision on Thursday night at the Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino. Quezada (29-5, 18 KOs) of Wasco, California got off to a good start in the first, stalking his opponent early before finding a home with some stiff right hands. Gavern (19-7-3, 8 KOs) of Kissimmee, Florida did more playing to the crowd than anything else in the first, as he would mug to the crowd after Quezada landed a clean blow. The momentum of the fight seemed to change in the second, as Gavern, 226.2, caught Quezada, 228, with an accidental headbutt that visibly shook up the defending WBC CABOFE Heavyweight Champion. One point was deducted from Gavern for the headbutt due to an absurd WBC rule penalizing the uninjured fighter after an accidental foul. The headbutt, and the resulting point deduction, seemed to invigorate both fighters, who went toe-to-toe to close the round. While Quezada landed his share, Gavern clearly got the best of the exchange. Quezada was the busier fighter to start the third, but Gavern picked up the pace late which may have earned him the round. On several occasions, especially during the middle rounds, Quezada would land one solid shot at a time, and Gavern would laugh it off or play to the crowd. After some posturing, Gavern would turn offensive again and win heated exchanges.

  • Arreola Decisions Quezada
    Arreola decisions Quezada Chris Arreola scored a twelve round unanimous decision over Manuel Quezada in a Heavyweight bout at the Citizens Business Bank Business Arena in Ontario, California. Arreola was very busy over most of the fight seemed a bit slow as he came in at 256 pounds. His size and strength plus the volume was too much for Quezada who was very tough in the defeat. Arreola took the early rounds on punching that wasn’t pretty but came in bunches which started to fatigue both fighters. Quezada was tough and in the middle rounds Quezada started getting in a few shots. Both guys were bleeding with Arreola bleeding from the mouth. Over the final four rounds, Arreola put a stamp on the bout as he dropped Quezada twice in round nine and once again in the final round. Arreola showed plenty of guts as he told his corner he hurt his hand before the final three minutes. Arreola dropped Quezada from a big uppercut in round nine from a uppercut and again from a flurry of punches. Arreola sent a tired Quezada to the canvas again from a flurry in the final thirty seconds of the bout. Arreola, 256 lbs of Riverside, CA won by scores of 118-107; 118-107 and 117-108 to raise his record to 29-2. Quezada, 228 lbs of Wasco, CA is now 29-6. Josesito Lopez scored an eight round unanimous decision over Marvin Cordova in action filled and competitive Welterweight bout. Lopez worked the body early in the fight and built up a nice lead on the cards.
