A night of edge-of-your-seat action and dramatic finishes unfolded Saturday, September 12, at the iconic \u201cMocho\u201d Navas Gym in Petare. At another packed installment of the WBA Future program, Venezuela\u2019s emerging boxing talent once again took center stage, with two prestigious regional World Boxing Association titles on the line. Diego Carbajal and Jos\u00e9 L\u00f3pez emerged as the night\u2019s biggest winners.<\/p>\n
The main event featured a high-stakes 130-pound showdown between Diego Carbajal and Pablo Molina Gamarro, grandson of the late Olympic medalist Pedro Gamarro. In a genuine tactical war that stretched 10 rounds of fierce exchanges at mid-range and in close, Carbajal retained his WBA Fedebol super featherweight championship by split decision.<\/p>\n
The judges\u2019 scorecards reflected the competitiveness and intensity of the bout, with two officials scoring it 98-92 and 99-91 for Carbajal, while the third judge awarded Gamarro a narrow 94-96 verdict, recognizing the challenger\u2019s greater effectiveness and precision with his power punches during the championship rounds.<\/p>\n
The co-main event, contested for the vacant WBA Fedebol lightweight title (135 pounds), took an unexpected and turbulent turn. In a bout that began with heated exchanges between Jos\u00e9 \u201cLlanero\u201d L\u00f3pez and Ra\u00fal Morillo, the action came to an abrupt end after Morillo committed repeated rule violations in the ring, prompting the referee to disqualify him.<\/p>\n
With the official disqualification, L\u00f3pez was awarded the victory and crowned the new regional lightweight champion.<\/p>\n
The electric atmosphere inside the \u201cMocho\u201d Navas stands reaffirmed boxing\u2019s deep roots in Petare and underscored the crucial role of the WBA Future platform in developing Venezuela\u2019s top prospects as they pursue their paths in the sweet science.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A night of edge-of-your-seat action and dramatic finishes unfolded Saturday, September 12, at the iconic \u201cMocho\u201d Navas Gym…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":895453,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-895452","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/895452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=895452"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/895452\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/895453"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=895452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=895452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=895452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
