Michael Angeletti was assured by his corner that the knockout was on his way but to not turn up the temperature too soon.

The unbeaten bantamweight took note of that advice and still wound up with an early night at the office.

A single right hand to the body was enough for Angeletti to take out the Philippines' Judy Flores. The crippling shot left Flores down for the full ten-count at 2:21 of the third round of their ProBox TV-aired contest Saturday night at Tech Port's Boeing Center in San Antonio, Texas.

Action was competitive through the opening two rounds, which prompted the calming speech from Angeletti's training team. The New Orleans-born, 5'9 1/2" bantamweight—who lives and trains in the greater Houston area—controlled the action in the opening round but struggled to defend against Flores' right hands in the second.

Flores continued to impose his will in the third, but it played perfectly into Angeletti's strategy. Angeletti measured up his determined foe and found a home for his right hand just under Flores' ribs.

The shot forced Flores (14-4, 8 KOs) down to his knees, where remained until he was counted out.

Angeletti (13-0, 8 KOs) picked up his first stoppage win in nearly two years. Three straight fights went to the scorecards preceding Saturday's win, including a ten-round, unanimous decision over Geraldo Valdez (16-1 at the time) in his ProBox TV debut last Aug. 24 in Plant City, Florida.

Dallas' Figo Ramirez (9-0, 4 KOs) survived a stiff test from Jose Lopez (4-4-3, 0 KOs) to claim a six-round, unanimous decision. Scores were 59-55, 59-55 and 58-56 for the 21-year-old Ramirez, who enjoyed a strong start but had to fend off a second-half surge from Lopez to prevail in their battle of junior featherweights.

Rianna Rios (9-0, 1 KO) claimed a six-round shutout over Guadalajara's Nancy Franco (19-22-2, 5 KOs). The unbeaten bantamweight from Alice—roughly 2 1/2 hours from San Antonio—won every round on all three scorecards (60-54, 60-54, 60-53)

All three bouts aired live in supporting capacity to the Ramon Cardenas-Bryan Acosta main event.
