Friday Results: Trojan Williamson and Valle Retain Titles, Ocampo TKOs Zewski in Upset, Lara Draws With Bouchard

By Robert Brizel, Head Real Combat Media Boxing Correspondent

 Friday, March 25, 2022, was a busy boxing day, with some major fights, and one significant boxing upset which occurred when a hot and cold underdog, a previous Errol Spence Jr. first-round knockout victim, overturned the apple cart and took out a ranked contender in the ninth round in an unexpected major upset.

 In a rematch at Camara Ganadera de San Carlos, Alajuela, Costa Rica, International Boxing Federation World Female Minimumweight champion Yokasta Valle, 24-2 with nine knockouts, a Nicaraguan fighting out of San Jose, Costa Rica, age 29, ranked fourth in the world on BoxRec, won every round 100-90 on all three scorecards, two minute rounds, outpointing Sana Hazuki, 8-6-1 with two knockouts, Fukuoka, Japan. Hazuki, age 37, has lost four of her last eleven bouts, although she has never been stopped, but at least showed up to go the distance. Hazuki went the distance with Valle in their first IBF title bout confrontation in January 2021, and Hazuki did not win a round then.

 At Newcastle Arena, Newcastle, United Kingdom, Troy “Trojan” Williamson, 18-0-1 with 13 knockouts, Darlington, United Kingdom, won a 12 round decision over Mason Cartwright, 17-3-1 with seven knockouts, Ellesmere Port, United Kingdom, to retain the BBBofC British Super Welterweight title. Williamson was down in the second round. Super lightweight contender Lewis ‘Sandman’ Ritson, 23-2 with 13 knockouts, Forest Hall, United Kingdom, won a 10 round decision over 23-4 Dejan Zlaticanin of Montenegro.

 At Colisee, Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, Canada, in the main event, Carlos Ocampo Enriquez, 33-1 with 21 knockouts, Ensenada, Mexico, won the vacant World Boxing Council Continental Americas Super Welterweight title with a ninth-round stoppage of favored Mikael Zewski, 35-3 with 23 knockouts, Trois-Rivieres, Canada. Ocampo, who lasted 180 seconds with Errol Spence in an IBF World Welterweight title in 2018, has returned to win eleven straight bouts. In the preliminary bout to the main event, 22-9 welterweight journeyman Ricardo Lara of Jalisco, Mexico, after losing three straight bouts to contenders with a combined 68 wins, earned a hard fought split decision draw with 19-2-1 Sebastien Bouchard of Baie-Saint-Paul, Canada. Scoring: 95-95 draw, 97-93 Lara, 96-94 Bouchard.
