“Bazooka” DeLuca Wins On Mass. ESPN/Golden Boy Card
QUINCY, MASS. (March 31, 2018): Hometown hero Mark “Bazooka” DeLuca (21-0, 13 KOs) scored a seventh-round technical knockout victory against Ramses Agaton (20-8-3, 10 KOs) of Mexico City, Mexico in the 10-round main event of the March 31 edition of Golden Boy Boxing on ESPN at Marina Bay Sportsplex in Quincy, Mass. DeLuca was too strong and skilled in this battle of southpaws in which Agaton was stopped at 2:17 of the seventh round with two vicious punches to the body.
“When you know you're fighting against a guy from Mexico, you've got to be in shape,” said Mark Deluca. “You've got to be ready because they don't come in easy. He [Agaton] was very ready and game. Being patient and picking my shots was the toughest part of this fight because I didn't want to get caught with anything. I'll be back in the gym on Monday. I'm sure they'll have something planned for me and I'm ready to get back in the ring.”
Jason Quigley (14-0, 11 KOs) of Donegal, Ireland knocked out Daniel Rosario (11-4, 10 KOs) of San Juan, Puerto Rico with a thunderous left hook to the body in the sixth-round of a scheduled eight-round super middleweight clash in tonight's co-main event. Quigley dominated each round before finishing Rosario at 2:56 of the sixth round.
 
“My new team helped me take my opponent down,”said Jason Quigley. “He was a tough kid and had never been stopped. I knew this was the perfect fight to come back and see where I'm at. I broke him down, and when I shook the ring rust out, I took him out.”
 
Yamaguchi Falcao (14-0, 6 KOs) Sao Paulo, Brazil scored an eight-round unanimous decision victory against Richar Gutierrez (30-18-2, 19 KO) of Arjona, Colombia in a middleweight fight. Falcao scored two knockdowns en route to a clear win with scores of 79-73, 78-72 and 78-71.
“The fight was a bit tough because he [Gutierrez] is a bit of a dirty fighter,” said Yamaguchi Falcao. “I'm ready, though. I have big dreams, and I want my opportunity. When I fight with bigger names, I'll know what to do.”
