HERMOSILLO, Sonora, Mexico (July 23, 2022) –Last night’s “Canela Fight Night” series inaugural event was a knockout success, in addition to being a platform to showcase a potential future star, at Sonora Arena in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico.

The action-packed, entertaining “Canela Fight Nights,” presented by World Cup Boxing Series (WCBS) and De La O Promotions, was streamed live, exclusively and for FREE throughout the United States, Mexico, and Latin America. “Canela Fights Night” will be streamed the third Friday of every month, the next scheduled August 19th in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico.

Rising Mexican flyweight star Sergio “Yoreme” Mendoza (17-0, 16 KOs) headlined in his hometown against veteran Francisco “Charrito” Gomez in the scheduled 10-round main event for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) FECARBOX Flyweight Championship.

The 22-year-old Mendoza used his height and reach advantages against the much smaller Gomez, who was unable to get inside, remaining a sitting duck for the gifted Mendoza.

Mendoza dropped Gomez at the end of round five and closed the show with a vicious body shot.

In the co-featured event, super bantamweight Jesus “Koreano” Ramirez nearly finished off Anthony “Boy” Jimenez Salas (17-4-1, 5 KOs) in the second round, flooring Salas who beat the count and was saved by the bell, at least temporarily. The end for Salas came in the fourth as the referee halted the action.

Celebrated Mexican amateur Marco Cota Moreno (8-0, 6 KO) continued to develop as a 20-year-old professional. Moreno simply overwhelmed lightweight Brandon “Bam Nam” Orozco (4-3, 3 KOs) enroute to a second-round technical knockout victory. Moreno was a 5-time Sonora State amateur champion who compiled a sterling 146-4 record.

Lightweight Brayan Zamarripa (12-1, 3 KOs) took care of business early, stopping veteran Jesus “Vibro” Arevalo (27-7-1, 15 KOs) at the end of the opening round.

In the opening bout of the evening, Las Vegas junior flyweight Yadira Bustillos (5-0, 0 KOs) out-boxed late replacement Barbra Martinez Munoz (3-13-1) for an impressive 6-round unanimous decision.

“Canela Fight Nights” was created by CANELA MEDIA, a leading, minority-owned technology driven company committed to redefining digital media experiences for the Hispanic Community, and World Cup Boxing Series (WCBS), led by its creators CEO Terry Holland and promoter/matchmaker Guy Taylor.

Fighting at home in Hermosillo, the 22-year-old Mendoza headlines this Friday night against veteran Francisco “Charrito” Gomez (14-8, 11 KOs), who has fought three world champions during his 8-year pro career, in the 10-round main event.

“I am very motivated because I know that many people will see me fight and more, because I am fighting at home,” Mendoza said. “I don’t feel nervous or pressured. I am well prepared because I’ve spent two months training on the mountains of Mexico with my team: Alfredo Caballero, sparring partner David Picasso and head trainer Alejandro Porras.

“I am very excited but have many mixed feelings. I feel that after winning this fight, I am going to burst into tears. I have been through many difficult situations in my life, from not having money to eat or take a bus, but now being one of the best in the flyweight division is a dream come true for me.”

Self-described as having a style that’s a mix of technical skills and aggressiveness, Mendoza adjusts to what his opponent does, knowing when it’s time to close the show. Mendoza has heavy hands as well as being a gifted boxer.

“I feel that I’m in the best shape of my life,” Mendoza concluded. “I am ready for the best fighters in my division. I’m very hungry to get ahead and I do not mind having to fight the best of the best.”
