“Yuca” wins WBC Latino title

Uriel “Yuca” Lopez  defeated Antonio Tostado with an impressive two round TKO,  to become the new Latin American super bantamweight champion of the World Boxing Council.

“Yuca” wasted no time at the Blackberry Auditorium in Mexico City,  landing with the jab and following up with some crunching body shots.  In the second round, a right cross  to Tostado’s jaw opened the path to victory.  Hurt, Tostado  was driven to the ropes.  A follow up left right combination prompted swift intervention by the Referee to halt the one way blitz.
