(NOV 18) Three women’s bouts were featured last Thursday night on Corpuz Promotions’ Thursday Night Fights at the Toppenish Community Center in Toppenish, Washington.

 In the co-headline bout, the very popular Lateet Olney scored her first win as a pro in impressive fashion, stopping Jessica Dave in the first round.

Olney, of Toppenish, Washington, stormed her opponent from the outset, blasting away with quick, precise punches in close.

Dave fought back gamely, but this only gave Olney more openings to land her punches. A minute into the fight the referee stepped in and gave Dave a standing eight count.

After the count Olney swarmed, unloading with a barrage of unanswered shots, forcing the ref to step in and save Dave from any unnecessary punishment. Olney, who showed vast improvements from her last fight, moved her record to 1-0-1 with 1KO.

She continues to build her fan base with her all out brawling style. Plans are in the works to have her back in January.

Making her professional debut, Latisha Adams dominated Cyna George, who was also making her pro debut, en route to a second round TKO. Adams took control from the sound of the first bell, swarming George with wild punches from all angles.

The referee issued two standing eight counts in the first round and one in the second. After the last eight count George’s corner mercifully stepped up onto the ring apron and threw in the towel.

In a three round amateur women’s bout, Saigi Hintsatake took a split decision victory over Nakota Yallup. The fight was close throughout as both fighters worked at a fast pace and traded momentum. Early on it seemed Yallup was landing at a greater rate, but late Hintsatake seemed to come on strong.

The crowd showed their appreciation for their effort, cheering them on as they traded leather down the stretch. Two judges scored the bout 29-28 for Hintsatake and one 29-28 for Yallup.

In the men’s pro portion of the card Toppenish’s own Barry Corpuz scored a second round TKO over Nate Washington with a series of body shots. Juan Esquivel stopped Juan Zuniga in the second with a solid right to the chin. Mark Garcia took a unanimous decision over Jose G. Livingston.

In amateur action, Mario Rodriguez scored a unanimous decision victory over Norman Schuster and slick Victor Almaguer scored a first round TKO over Justin Andreas.

Corpuz Promotions will be back at the Toppenish Community Center January 11th.
