Sacramento Fury: Bautista vs. Ponce de Leon :thumbsup:
By Ted Sares
Sudden fury it was as Daniel Ponce De Leon (31-1-with 28 KOs), took out undefeated Rey "Boom-Boom" Bautista (23 -0 -with 17 KOs) with a brutal left handed mugging in the first round saving the night for Mexican fans.
I had hoped this might have the potential of being another Meza-Garza, Benn-Barkley or Marquez-Vazquez type shootout, but there was no shootout here. Just a show of all-out violence on the part of Ponce de Leon. It was more like a Brewster-Golata or Lewis-Ruddock type fight and it was a shocker in its one-sided and quick ending.
Ponce de Leon affirmed the fact he is a rugged power puncher (88% KO ratio) known for an incredible work rate and great stamina, but he did not need it tonight, as his physical strength allowed him to swarm Boom Boom and take him out in decisive manner.
The De Leon camp may have taken Gerry Penalosa too lightly in their last outing, but they were ready on this night of malice aforethought in Sacramento. .
