Patricio Carrion: UBO World Super Lightweight Champion

Patricio Carrion won the vacant Universal Boxing Organization™ (UBO) world Super Lightweight title on Thursday evening, February 26, in front of a sizeable crowd outdoors at the Arena Cavancha in his home-town of Iquique, Chile.

Entering the fight as the reigning UBO Continental (South America) titlist, Carrion (32) defeated co-challenger Dante Colque Fernandez by third round technical knockout when the Bolivian national champion was not able to come out for round three due to injury.

Before that it had been an entertaining, competitive and hard-fought first round where both men gave as good as they got, but at the end of the stanza Fernadez complained about hurting his right arm.

In round two Carrion came out strong, trying to take definitive control, and dominated the entire three minutes with sharp combinations. Unfortunately Fernandez was visibly affected by the arm-injury, and consequently the ring-side doctor advised during the break that he should not continue.

With the victory, the new UBO world Super Lightweight champion improved his professional record to 22-1 (6). Fernandez (36) drops to 16-4 (11).

The fight was the main event of a show promoted by TC2 Boxing.
