10-0 Tsotne “Mr. T” Rogova defeats Alexander Flores to become new WBC U.S. Heavyweight Champion
High school senior Paolo “Pow” Barredo impressive in pro debut
LOS ANGELES (September 29, 2024) – Last night, Toro Promotions, Inc. successfully launched its new pro boxing series, “The Heartbeat of LA Boxing”, as undefeated Tsotne “Mr. T” Rogova (10-0, 7 KOs) captured the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) U.S. heavyweight title and six boxers made their pro debuts, including celebrated Walnut (CA) High School senior Paolo “Pow” Barredo, at Pacific Palms Resort in City of Industry, California.
“This was surely Southern California boxing at its finest,” Toro promoter Azat Torosyan said after the fights. “You have to go see a lot of shows to find one as good as tonight’s.”
In an action-packed co-main event, Rogova passed the toughest test of his young pro boxing career against the always dangerous Alexander “The Great” Flores (19-5-1, 17 KOs), winning a unanimous 10-round decision in what was an all-out war.
Rogava, a 2020 Ukraine Olympian, dominated early by trapping Flores on the ropes and dropping the more experienced Flores, who has fought three world champions, with a vicious body attack in the second round. Flores, however, started turning the tide in the fifth, but Tsotne regained control in the sixth. Flores displayed tremendous heart, battling right to the end, albeit in a loss.
Barredo, who celebrated his 18th birthday last week, took his time figuring out his opponent, featherweight Mychaquell “Myche” Shields (2-6), who was decked in round three. Barredo, a 2021 Junior Olympics Champion, closed the show with a fourth-round stoppage.
Another celebrated amateur making his pro debut, La Puente’s (CA) Alexandro “El Capitan” Alvarado (1-0, 1 KO), defeated fellow pro-debuting lightweight Eduardo Mondragon “El Azteca” Lopez in spectacular fashion, beating down and ultimately stopping Lopez in round three. Alvarado was silver medalist in the 2021 California State Silver Gloves.
Mission Hills (CA) junior welterweight Sonny “The Bear” Robledo (10-0, 3 KOs) kept his undefeated record intact, pitching a near shutout versus Matt Gaver (3-10-2, 1 KO) to win a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54 (twice) and 59-55.
Riverside (CA) junior bantamweight Hector Oros (1-0) overcame a first-round knockdown to take a close four-round unanimous decision (38-37 X 3) over another pro debuting fighter, Alexander Robles (0-1).
In a sensational battle between a pair of pro-debuting California fighters, Riverside welterweight Oscar Trujillo Enriquez (1-0, 1 KO) put Jesse “Suavecito” Zuniga (0-1) to sleep in the second round, unable to recover in time from a wicked body shot.
In a junior lightweight match that could have gone either way, Santa Ana’s (CA) Michael “Chamuco” Bracamontes (10-2-1, 5 KOs) played the matador role, moving around the ring, against hard-charging Armenian (3-3-1, 2 KOs). Bracamontes won a six-round majority decision (58-56 twice and 57-57).
In the opening bout of a memorable evening of boxing, Mongolian flyweight (LA resident) Enkhmandakh “Machine Gun Magi” Khurkuu (4-0, 1 KO) outclassed Richard Morales (1-8. 0 KO) for a first-round knockout victory.
