Fort Stockton born boxer Abel Mendoza put on a show in front of a sold out crowd at the Inn of the Gods Resort & Casino on July 31 at the Warriorz on the Rez boxing event. The 25-year-old finished his opponent, Israel Rojas, by ref stoppage in the third round.

Mendoza knocked his opponent down three times before the fight was called due to his opponent inability to defend himself. The super featherweight used an array of shots to the head and body to get the stoppage.

The win moves his record to 30-0 with 23 knockouts.
