Early in the first round Estrada's dominance was apparent. In the second round Estrada forced the action and dropped Pierda at the 1:23 mark. Referee Jack Rees had seen enough to call the stoppage. Right here, find the complete results from the card, as well as video interviews with Estrada and young, undefeated pro Jessie Villanueva. Jessie Villanueva (5-0, 3 KO's) went up against a gritty, hard punching Benjamin Briceno (Pro Debut) for four tough rounds. Villanuena's body attack kept Briceno at bay allowing for a fourth round victory. Said Estrada: "I've learned a lot from Joe Goossen he's my new trainer, he knows all the tricks of the trade, he knows all of them. He's a good trainer and we're going to go a long why from here."

I guess boxing promoters and television executives, despite not realizing that counterprogramming each other is a bad idea, realize that counterprogramming the Olympics is a bad idea. Good on them for at least getting that right. As for the video above – future Olympic sport? Could be more entertaining than amateur boxing (at times!). Darley Perez vs. Bahodir Mamadjonov, Friday, ESPN2, Cabazon Calif. Colombian lightweight Darley Perez takes a step up and a step into the spotlight on Saturday night against Uzbekistan’s Bahodir Mamadjonov. From what I’ve seen, Perez (15-0), a former Olympian and teammate of Yohnny Perez (they like the name in those parts), seems to be a well-schooled orthodox boxer with a pumping jab. Perez was originally slated to fight Michael Katsidis in what would have been a much bigger step up than his Uzbek opponent on Saturday. Mamadjonov (11-0) seems to be a sharp southpa...

Both will be featured on the undercard of Goossen Tutor's "LIVE AT THE LODGE" event on Saturday night, August 11. In the eyes of 22-year old junior featherweight Jessie Villanueva (3-0, 3 KOs), his scheduled four-round contest against Sytel Wilbarn (2-1) from Los Angeles, CA is the next step in his development towards an eventual world championship - a goal his older brother Matt, an undefeated super flyweight -- shares with him. In the main event, 2008 U.S. Olympian Shawn Estrada (14-0, 12 KOs) will square off with undefeated Felix Piedra (8-0-1, 5 KOs) in a scheduled 8-round light heavyweight contest -- with both fighters taking on their toughest challenge to date.

On Saturday night, August 11, Goossen Tutor Promotions, the Valley's first family of boxing, will present the second program in its "LIVE AT THE LODGE" series of boxing events held every two months throughout the year designed by promoter Dan Goossen to produce a number of "Tomorrow's Champions, Fighting Today." In the main event, 2008 U.S. Olympian Shawn Estrada (14-0, 12 KOs) will square off with undefeated Felix Piedra (8-0-1, 5 KOs) in a scheduled 8-round light heavyweight contest -- with both fighters taking on their toughest challenge to date.

This event was brought to the metroplex by Israel Navarro of Showcase Promotions. A promoter with a new vision for boxing entertainment and according to him, this is only the beginning. The 7,000 seat arena was a perfect venue for local boxing fans, not too big, not too little. It has the amphitheater style seating and you can’t get a bad seat, including wide screen monitors. This is good news for the boxing fans in both Dallas/Fort Worth and the surrounding metroplex. Plans are in the works for another boxing event possibly in June, and on a quarterly basis. Navarro has a multitude of ideas and plans to bring more professional boxing to Dallas and the surrounding cities, which is great news for all the boxing area.

And make no mistake--there is one. To be fair, there was a weekend of interesting fights. In Germany, we got what turned out to be the most interesting heavyweight title fight in about a decade. That’s not saying a lot for the division, but hats off to Dereck Chisora for trying. That has to be considered a boon in today’s age of uninspired heavyweight challengers. And the action in the ring in Texas was actually pretty good. But once again, piss-poor officiating and questionable commission practices cast a pallor over what should have been a good weekend. Exhibit One: A 196 lb Light Heavyweight As if the career development of 2008 Olympian Shawn Estrada wasn’t disgraceful enough, now he’s getting a 20-pound cushion too? On Friday, ESPN2 televised what was supposed to be a super middleweight 8-round attraction featuring the unbeaten Estrada. Problem was Estrada checked in at 196 pounds. A few maneuver...

Despite a cut above his left eye that was opened up by an accidental clash of heads in the opening rounds, Dallas displayed great foot and hand speed and landed several quick one-two combos on his way to a unanimous decision victory with scorecards showing 100-90 (twice) and 100-89. Dallas, who has been training under the watchful eye of the Boxing Writers Association of Americas 2011 Trainer of the Year, Virgil Hunter, improves his record to 18-2-1, with 7 wins coming by knockout. The show was promoted by Goossen Tutor Promotions in association with Showcase Promotions and marked the first ever boxing event held at University of Texas at Arlington's brand ...

The bad-luck light heavyweight heroically recovered from a two-knockdown 1st round to lay a serious beating on Cloud, yet one judge had it 116-110 for Cloud. Eight rounds. For Cloud. Somehow. The robbery was disgusting. That scorecard was obscene.The excellent undercard fight -- and horrendous ending -- overshadowed a main event that saw Paul Williams look a touch rejuvenated, albeit in a win against a third-tier junior middleweight in Nobuhiro Ishida. And all his flaws remain there to be exploited by a first-tier junior middleweight, i...

The venue is the new College Park Center in Arlington, Texas, and Joe Tessitore is joined by Teddy Atlas as usual. Teddy likes the match-up, mentioning that Dallas has lost two fights in a row and should be desperate, while Gonzalez is the stronger guy but has some lingering injury issues.Former WWE announcer Todd Grisham is in the studio tonight, filling in for Bernardo Osuna. He teases a look at the Dereck Chisora slap of Vitali Klitschko and tomorrow's showdown between Paul Williams and Nobuhiro Ishida.Our first live fight almost fell apart because former Olympian Shawn Estrada had so much trouble making weight. His original contract called for him to come in at 172 pounds, but his management renegotiated terms for his opponent Terrance Woods to come in at 177 because Texas allows for a 15-pound buffer.

Having gone unbeaten in his first 18 bouts, the 25-year-old Dallas Jr. (17-2-1, 7 KOs) of Bakersfield, Calif. will look to try to get back on course and in the win column after coming off a controversial decision loss against Mauricio Herrera last June.  The Herrera bout also marked the first time recent Boxing Writers Association of America 2011 Trainer of the Year Virgil Hunter had worked with Dallas, albeit for only a thirty day period.  After the June bout, Hunter and Dallas agreed to put time in the gym prior to his next coming out bout and this opportunity was "to good to pass up," said Hunter.
