Seventh Heaven for \u201cAlacran\u201d in Reynosa<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Miguel \u201cAlacran\u201d Berchelt overwhelmed brave but outgunned Venezuelan Edixon \u201cCabeza de gato\u201d Perez who stayed on his stool in his corner after a torrid seventh hell for leather round, in which he absorbed and wilted under a torrent and welter\u00a0 of crunching body punches and combos to the head which produced showers of sweat.<\/p>\n

The lightweight fight was at the UAT gym in the Poliforo, in Beautiiful Reynosa, Tamaulipas. The lively, sporting and appreciative crowd,\u00a0 roared as Miguel was presented with the magnificent Reynosa Belt by the Mayor\u00a0 Carlos Victor Pe\u00f1a Ortiz and WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman.<\/p>\n

Jubilant he said: \u201cHe was tough, but I wore him down and broke him down. Round seven was when I applied severe pressure with so many punches and I am delighted with this belt. Now I want to fight for the WBC Green and Gold lightweight belt and bring it home.\u201d<\/p>\n

In round one Edixon was attacking but getting speared by a tribe of rights from the longer armed Mexican. Round two they were feeling each other out with feints but then Miguel connected with a left hook to the body a right to the head and another left to the ribcage.<\/p>\n

Edixon was fighting back in the third, but suddenly Miguel unleashed a barrage punctuated by a big right, which snapped back his opponent\u2019s head.<\/p>\n

By round four Edixon was open mouthed and shipping punishment, but he gritted his teeth, protected by his mouth guard and managed to weather the worsening, gathering\u00a0 and looming storm\u2026 until the seventh.<\/p>\n

It was then that Miguel opened the floodgates and hit him with thunderclaps, lightning, torrents\u00a0 and everything bar the kitchen sink. Two lefts and then a right to the head, wobbled him and nearly put him down. He tried to fight back, but was visibly wilting under the sustained rain of blows.<\/p>\n

The sweet sound of the bell and a full minute of rest, weren\u2019t enough. He called it a day after a torrid night.<\/p>\n

Contesting the WBC Youth flyweight belt, Sheyla\u00a0 Moreno Castillo and Brisa Sarahi Olivia went at it from the opening bell. With her pigtail purposefully bobbing,\u00a0 Sheyla was swinging for the stands, connecting to head and body, but taller southpaw Brisa countered with a solid left hook and a stinging right jab.<\/p>\n

In round two Sheyla waded in with a fierce combination to the head but Brisa replied with a pinpoint left uppercut. Sheyla\u2019s hands were faster yet\u00a0 both fighters opened up in the embers of round four. In the next round a big right left combination hurt Sheyla.<\/p>\n

In the eighth and final Sheyla was fighting, hands low and head down. For the final twenty seconds they both unloaded every punch in the book on each other, like bible punchers. Both went at it and neither took one step back. It brought the crowd to their feet.\u00a0 Both had given their all and the judges scored it a draw.<\/p>\n

Another star fight of this fabled night in a packed eleven fights card, was at super-lightweight, between David Moreno Potrero and lanky Jos\u00e9 Luis Vazquez.<\/p>\n

David who was heavier handed got the better in most exchanges and often went toe to toe with Jos\u00e9, negating his longer reach, backing him into the ropes and going to work.<\/p>\n

While David was switch hitting, Jos\u00e9 prized himself out of close encounters and countered well. By the sixth, David was transforming it into a war of attrition, alternating the attack to body and head. Mutual respect and after a seventh of cool evasion and hot pursuit, David gently patted Jos\u00e9 on the tummy as the bell rang.,<\/p>\n

They embraced before the eighth and final round and just after the bell rang David drove Jos\u00e9 to the ropes. Fierce exchanges followed. But the intensity of David\u2019s work rate throughout deservedly won him the UD.<\/p>\n

Great moments before the Berchelt headliner, with all time greats Julio Cesar Chavez, Carlos Zarate, Alfonso Zamora, Erik Morales, Jos\u00e9 Luis Castillo, Cristian Mijares and Johnny Gonz\u00e1lez, climbing into the ring, much to the delight of the crowd who cheered themselves hoarse.<\/p>\n

An absolute fab fight night in Reynosa which will be long remembered.<\/p>\n
