Margarito - Williams Undercard Results
By Gabriel Montoya at Ringside (July 14, 2007) Doghouse Boxing
In a spirited opening bout, Middleweight prospect Ricardo Cortes outworked and outlanded Jose Spearman to take a 58-56, 59-55 twice-unanimous decision win.

Andre Ward started cautious behind a steady jab and good bodywork to set up a spectacular third round knockout over Francisco Diaz with an explosive left uppercut/hook that landed just before the bell. Diaz hung in the air for what seemed like minutes and then fell in a heap under the ropes. He rose at 8 but was glassy eyed and wobbly and Referee Raul Caiz, Sr. wisely waved it off.

In an explosive showing, Chris Arreola blasted out Cristobal Cruz with a flurry along the ropes. The Nightmare landed a right hand and followed with a brutal barrage that Cruz never answered before falling into a heap at the referee’s feet.

The time: 56 seconds of the first. Brutal. Afterwards, Arreola would say “ I didn’t expect it to fight. I sparred with him before. I expected him it to go 2-3 rounds but not this quick. I am ready to fight anyone they want me to and anywhere.”
