RIOT AT THE HYATT

Promoter Jerry Hoffman went 17-0 tonight in Monterey with another Riot At The Hyatt. Although the 17th boxing show promoted by 12 Sports Promotions started with a few problems before the doors opened; it ended with a full house of boxing fans greatful to Jerry Hoffman once again.

Four bouts of California's "BEST" played out like a ball rolling down hill. Plenty of momentum. Juan Elissa and Israel Sandoval started the night off. Non-stop action between these two fighters ended at the halfway mark of round 4 on a cut. The score cards gave Sandoval the win.

The second bout between two unbeaten Lt. Heavy weights, Toshi Kawata (3-0) and Richard Paige (1-0). These guys went at it non-stop for four rounds fighting to a split decision draw. Later in the evening it was reported that an error was made in the scoring and the win was given to Paige.

Bout three was all female. Carina Morino (6-0) and Yvonne Caples (7-6-2). Caples, the former IFBA Light Flyweight Champion had just come back from Japan where she fought to a draw attempting to win her title back. Moreno didn't care if she had just fought Ali to a draw; Moreno was there to prove she was the best 109lb female fighter in the world. So far she's proven her point. Caples, a south-paw, tried to confuse Moreno by coming at her from different angles but Moreno circled to her left and quite frankly beat Caples to a pulp. First with a body attack and by round five landing head shots at will. Moreno won all 8 rounds by all three judges. Moreno, in my opinion, is the best 109lb female boxer in the world. Her record now stands at (7-0). Morino is trained by Rick Noble.

Ryan Davis(17-3) trained by Max Garcia and Jesse Martinez(6-16) finished the show off fighting to a unanimous decision in favor of Davis. You could tell right away that the time Davis had spent with his new trainer Max Garcia is paying dividends. Davis was large and in charge the entire fight. Davis at any point beyond round five could have stopped Martinez but decided to get the rounds in beating Martinez down to the point of a K.O., backing off and beating him down again and again. Davis and trainer Max Garcia seem to be off to a very good start. Max Garcia is one of the best in the business and proved it once again tonight.
