Elco Garcia scores five-knockdown kayo in seven over Joe Gomez at ‘Four Corners Showdown’ for local bragging rights: In a showdown years in the works, between the top two names of the last dozen years in the Four Corners area, Elco “The Animal” Garcia, of Ignacio, Colo., staked his claim as the reigning local champion with a dominating kayo win over Joe “Ironman” Gomez, of Bloomfield, N.M.
The long-awaited match-up was the first significant rivalry between Four Corners fighters since the Abie Chavez-Chuckers Hildebrand trilogy in the early ‘30s.
Fighting for the first time in a year, and before the biggest crowd ever to pack Ignacio’s Sky Ute Casino, Garcia fought with enough ‘Animal’ savagery to floor Gomez five times before the fight was stopped in round seven . . . Click here for full report and photo gallery
