Mexican Heriberto Ruiz took a unanimous decision win over Rey 'Boom Boom' Bautista seconds ago in their 8-round bout here at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Ruiz knocked down Bautista in the third with a left hook, and Bautista was deducted a point in the seventh due to low blows, earning for the Mexican a 77-73, 78-72, 80-70 win.
Bautista started bleeding in the third round due to a headbutt, and was knocked down in the same round with a left hook.
Bautista's bleeding was not stopped by the corner starting in the third, and Boom-Boom was visibly bothered by the cut all throughout.
The Filipino fighter did not use his jab in the fight, and his punches were telegraphed as Ruiz continued to counterpunch beautifully and used good lateral skills to frustrate the Pinoy fighter.
