Boxer Daniel Reyes wins World Title

by Jonathan Roorda September 27, 2008

Reyes battled for the title with Argentinian Luis Lazarte on Friday night.

The match had to be decided by a jury. Two of its members awarded Reyes the victory, where the third called for a draw. This was enough for the Colombian to take the belt.

Reyes commented: “At first Lazarte made things difficult for me. Later, in the eighth and ninth rounds, he wanted to attack again but we did things well, and I think that that’s where I won the match.”

The 37-year-old Argentinian disagreed with the judges: “They robbed me, and in my country I don’t have luck.”

This was Reyes’ 40th boxing victory, of which thirty were achieved by knock-out.
