Diego De La Hoya and Travell Mazion Earn Wins

VERONA, N.Y. (June 8, 2018): *Diego De La Hoya *(21-0, 10 KOs), the
quick-handed super bantamweight contender of Mexicali, Mexico, successfully
defended his NABF and NABO Super Bantamweight Titles against *Jose “Sugar”
Salgado *(35-5-2, 28 KOs) of Cozumel, Mexico via technical knockout at the
end of the seventh round of the scheduled 10-round main event of the June 8
edition of *Golden Boy Boxing on ESPN *at *Turning Stone Resort Casino *in
Verona, N.Y. De La Hoya’s relentless and fast-paced aggression were too
much for Salgado to handle, which forced his corner to call a halt to the
bout at the end of the aforementioned round.

“We knew that he [Salgado] had been training since October of last year,”
said *Diego De La Hoya.*”Obviously that’s because the fight was delayed,
but the fight took place tonight and thank God it was great. I brawled so
that people would see that I am indeed a Mexican fighter. He has a lot of
experience and a lot of power, but I still brawled to give a great show.
I’ll need to talk to my team about what’s next, but hopefully something
very good.”

“I felt really tight in this fight, but that’s because the inactivity
really affected me,” said *Jose Salgado. *”I take no credit away from Diego
De La Hoya, and I fought a good fight despite the inactivity. He’s a great
fighter, and he’ll be a future world champion.”

In tonight’s co-main event,*Travell “Black Magic” Mazion *(13-0, 11 KOs) of
Austin, Texas retained his undefeated record as he beat Orlando,
Florida’s *Daquan

scores of 77-75, 77-75 and 78-74.
