On Friday night in Madrid, Spain, Jordan Camacho won the vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) Eurasia Super Bantamweight title.
At the beautiful Gran Casino, Ecuadorian-born Camacho scored a sixth round technical knockout of Spain-based Nicaraguan Gerson Larios.
It was an entertaining fight after a slow first round, and just when you thought Camacho was taking over Larios came back with his own attacks to make things interesting.
The underdog appeared very determined to cause an upset, and came back strong every time Camacho put pressure on him.
But in round five a nasty swelling had developed under the left eye of Larios. He continued to fight back as best he could and finished the round, but when the bell rang for round six he remained on his stool.
Jordan Camacho (25) took his professional record to 8-0 (4), while Larios (28) falls to 7-14 (3). The fight was promoted by Tundra Promotions.
