Duarte Defeats Juarez in Reseda

Frankie Duarte, his face reddened by the fists of Miguel Juarez, was awarded a unanimous, 10-round decision Tuesday night in a bantamweight bout at the Country Club in Reseda.

Duarte (44-7-1), of Venice, won by a single point on one scorecard and by three points on the other two.

Duarte, 120, scored the only knockdown of the bout, decking Juarez, 120, with a left hook in the eighth round. But Juarez, of Los Angeles, had built an early lead in the fight, pounding Duarte for the first five rounds. Juarez, 120, fell to 17-13-3.

In another 10-rounder, North American Boxing Federation super bantamweight champion Jesus Poll of Venezuela scored a unanimous decision over Alan Makitoki of Stockton in a non-title fight.
