Louie Lopez Gets Off the Deck to Secure Split Decision Victory Against Jesus Resendiz on CBN Promotions Card
On March 30, 2024, under the glaring lights of CBN Promotions’ “New Blood” event, Louie Lopez, hailing from the streets of Corona, CA, locked horns with Jesus Resendiz from the sun-kissed shores of San Diego, CA. The welterweight division witnessed a riveting 8-round headliner that had had fans exctied.
Just when everyone was settling in, Jesus Resendiz landed a bombshell right hand, sending Lopez on a quick trip to the canvas in the dying seconds of the opening act. Brushing off the dust, Lopez wasn’t ready to throw in the towel; he surged back with a vengeance in the middle chapters of this saga. As the finale approached, Lopez shifted gears, outmaneuvering Resendiz to snatch a split decision win by the skin of his teeth. Judges were split, tilting 77-74, twice favoring Lopez, and once nodding to Resendiz.
Post-fight, Lopez wasn’t shy to admit the early setback. “After tasting the floor early on, I had no choice but to pull myself together and storm back into the fray,” he stated. “I cranked it up, sealed the deal, and now I’m itching for another fight. Big shoutout to my squad for the endless backup.”
In the co-feature, the 6-round super welterweight tussle, Nelson Oliva and Franyerson Puerta turned the ring into a gladiator’s arena, trading leather with ferocity. Oliva, with his precision and power, gradually wore down Puerta, unleashing a fury in the final round to clinch a unanimous decision. The scorecards echoed his dominance: 58-56, 60-54, and 59-55, all hailing Oliva as the conqueror.
Oliva reflected on the brawl, “Puerta was a solid wall, but I had to bring in my A-game, mixing brains with brawn. The road’s only getting tougher, but I’m all geared up for whatever’s next.”
The spectacle was streamed live for the world to witness on Fubo Sports, Stadium, Gray Television, and later on Fox Deportes and Estrella TV on tape delay.
Leonardo Rubalcava, George Navarro, Eric Mondragon, and Saul Gomez showcased their might, each securing their dominion with unanimous decisions and a knockout, leaving no stone unturned in their quest for glory.
The night was not just about the fisticuffs; it was a celebration of combat, sponsored by the elite – HUSTLER Casino, Tequila Mandala, Shoe Palace, and Northgate Market, each bringing their unique flavor to this festival of fists.
No visible damage on the face of Resendiz… Or did I ever see him in trouble, he controlled the center of the ring & landed the uppercut basically at will.
