Joet González punishes Manuel Avila for 6th round TKO!
Joet González looking to continue his rise among the featherweight rankings would meet the cagey veteran Manuel Avila.
As the fight began, the game plan for González was evident. Use the jab and apply pressure. The unbeaten contender fought the early portion of the fight on his front foot; ripping shots to the head and body.
He would easily take the opening rounds.
However, Avila wouldn’t go without his moments as he was able to have a nice rally in round three. He landed some hard shots, that would get the respect of González.
Unfortunately, for him round four saw González snatch the momentum back. The right eye of Avila would start to swell, as a result of the repeated right hands landed.
It became clear the undefeated fighter was in full control!
After scoring a knockdown in round five, González would finish off Avila. After a flurry of punishing punches to the head and body, the corner of Avila had saw enough and decided to throw in the towel.
González improves his record to (23-0, 14KOs). A title opportunity seems to be within his reach, after this impressive victory.
In the post fight interview, he called out JoJo Diaz and Shakur Stevenson! Those two fights would be highly entertaining if made!
