(San Diego) – In many ways boxing is a game of chance. Doesn’t matter how much you prepare, some times events don’t go as planned. That never showed true for southern California promoter Bobby D. Presents this past Friday when two of their six fights planned fell out the week of the event. First, the opponent for local junior flyweight Amaris Quintana, Susana Uribe, went by the wayside when her trainer suffered a stroke on travel day. The second was when a fighter who was to face off against the popular Adrian Vargas did not pass one of his medical exams and was ruled unable to participate. Despite the streak of bad luck on one show, the worst suffered in thirty years by California boxing hall of fame promoter Bobby DePhilippis, the show still must go on. It did with four all-action bouts that kept the respectable crowd inside the Crowne Plaza Hotel in San Diego’s Mission Valley on the edge of their seats for most of the night. In the six-round main event, Tijuana’s Victor Capaceta (4-6-3, 2KO) took a razor thin split decision over the valiant “Smoking” Joe Perez (4-1-1, 3KO) of Chula Vista, CA, who suffered his first defeat. The bout was fought in the featherweight division. The all-out brawl was a rematch of their first war in November of last year in which they walked away with a draw.
