Opening up the show for Isidro’s Chaos in Clovis 2 was Rudy Montenegro Vs Derek Perez at 145 lbs in a four rounder bout. The 1st round started off with Perez applying the pressure and throwing small combinations keeping Rudy busy and on his heels but Montenegro found himself landing the right hand effectively. With the start of the 2nd round both fighters came out swinging while Perez continued pushing forward with that warrior instinct he always shows us while Rudy still kept landing that right hand. Going into the 3rd and 4th rounds the action stayed the same while Perez kept going to the body and Rudy going up top keeping both rounds a classic action packed bout which ended in a Draw!

In the 2nd both came out aggressive but Sanchez landing that straight right which knocked Tapia down early in the round then to happen again shortly after. The fight was stopped by TK0 in the 2nd winner going to Michael Sanchez but I’m sure these two will be back at it in no time.

A highly anticipated Heavyweight main event against Elijio Sena from Clovis who’s 2-0-1 Vs. Eduado Silva from Belen now 1-1 had fans ready and was clearly the fight everyone was waiting for. In the 1st coming out the red corner Sena standing tall and heavier was moving around like lightweight and met to start exchanging and feel each other out. Stepping into the Blue corner Sena had his back to the Blue corner and what seemed to be a back step on Elijio part he falls to the canvas then immediately reaching for his right knee. In 58 seconds of the 1st round the fight was stopped due to the incident and winner was Eduado Silva. With that happening im sure we’re going to be seeing a rematch or comeback here soon.
A great night of action brought to you by Isidro Castillo’s School of Hard Knocks Promotions and which I’m sure more to come. Isidro referred to himself as the poor man’s promoter giving and making that opportunity happen for those that can’t get the right connections. Being a match maker for many promoters here in New Mexico then all he does for the youth and community Isidro is making his mark in the southern part of the state. Keep an eye out for another event from School of Hard Knocks.
