Undefeated Super-Middleweight prospect Lester Martinez remained unbeaten by scoring a first round knockout over veteran Uriel Gonzalez on Wednesday night at the Marina Terra Hotel and Spa in San Carlos, MX. Martinez immediately showed he had an advantage over Gonzalez in terms of punching power as every time he was able to connect with offense, Gonzalez appeared bothered. A combination of hooks to the body followed by glancing blows to the head sent Gonzalez down late in round one. Gonzalez was able to beat the count. Although he appeared to be slightly wobbled, it did not appear as though he was incapable of continuing. Despite this, the referee opted to stop the fight at the exact end of the round out of concern for Gonzalez’ safety. Official time of the stoppage was 3:00. Lester Martinez advances to 7-0, with 7 Knockouts. Uriel Gonzalez falls to 20-7-1, with 16 Knockouts.
