Yoenis “El Bandolero” Tellez Dominates Williams for the WBA Title
Brooklyn, NY – Yoenis “El Bandolero” Tellez Dominated Williams for the WBA Title on Saturday night with a dominant performance at the Barclays Center. Tellez outpointed Williams to claim the WBA interim super welterweight title. The 24-year-old Cuban boxer demonstrated his power and accuracy, winning with unanimous scores of 119-109, 117-111 and 118-110 from the judges. Tellez’s impressive victory has cemented his status as a rising star in the division, proving that he is a boxer to watch.
Tellez (10-0, 7 KOs) showed athleticism and accuracy throughout the fight. The judges scored the fight as follows: Tony Paolillo (119-109), Robert Perez (117-111) and Waleska Roldan (118-110). His constant pressure and punishing punches brought him closer to a future showdown with the elites of the division.
Téllez Demonstrates his Strength and Ability
Tellez launched an aggressive attack, asserting his dominance early on with powerful right hands. Williams (29-5-1, 17 KOs), 34, struggled to keep pace as the young Cuban outpaced him in nearly every round. Although the Philly veteran avoided a knockout, he could not match Tellez’s intensity. In the eleventh round, Tellez’s right uppercut rocked Williams, and by the tenth, the veteran had to fend off wave after wave of punches.
Meanwhile, Williams, who has not scored a major victory since 2019, could not find his rhythm. His attempts to fight from distance failed in the face of Tellez’s ferocious attack.
What Next Steps for Tellez?
This victory has put Tellez in a favorable position for further opportunities in the super welterweight division. He could soon upgrade his title to full weight class, especially with the move of current champion Terence “Bud” Crawford to 168 pounds. Tellez has shown he is ready to move up the rankings and fight for world championship glory.
Tellez humbly dedicated the victory to his team and fans, saying, “I’m ready to face any champion. The 154-pound division now has a hungry Cuban fighter, and I’m ready for more.”
On the other hand, Williams faces an uncertain future. He accepted defeat, saying, “I’ll study the fight and see what went wrong. I hope people enjoyed the fight.”
