In the first fight of the evening, Juan Carlos displayed a combination of speed and power knocking out Noe Inunza of Southern California. Early on, Inunza got awarded a knock down, but as the replay showed, it was clearly a slip. As the rounds went on, Velasquez overwhelmed Inunza, landing power punches from various angles. Smelling blood, Juan Carlos applied pressure landing a violent flurry that sent Inunza to the canvas in which he never recovered. Referee Gerald Scott ended the bout at 1:56 of the fourth round.

When asked about his performance and ecstatic Juan Carlos stated,”I feel good I got the knock out. Once I knew he was hurt I had to jump on him and take him out. I’m now looking forward to my next bout. My brother and I will continue to work hard”

Heavy handed Carlos Ivan has knocked out every opponent he’s faced as a pro. This time his sixth victim was Ever Perez as he landed a calculated left hook that reminded you of a young Trinidad. The punch landed flush on the face of Perez sending him to his back. A wobbly Perez some how got back to his feet, but went back to the canvas as his equilibrium was off ending the contest at 1:58 mark of round one. Carlos Ivan commented on his performance as he went on to say, “I’m excited that the boxing community got to see me fight. The fans love knock outs and I’m happy to have delivered in all my fights. I’m ready to get back in the gym.”

On February 8, 2008, the “Velasquez Twins” will be back in action at “The Castle” in Boston, Massachusetts. Opponents will be announced shortly as these two warriors are eager to get back in the ring.
