In the eighth round, a pair of left hooks from Muratalla on the chin of Torres and down he went for an 8-count from Referee Celestino Ruiz. Upon rising, the referee took a look and waved it off. Muratalla won every round and had a slight abrasion under his left eye.

In the eighth and final round, Simms spit out his mouthpiece for referee Robert Hoyle to put it back in. Was he looking for a rest to get to the end?

Super Lightweight Omar Rosario, 12-0 (3) defeated Angel Rebollar, 7-4 (3) over 8 rounds.
In the first round, Rosario chased, and Rebollar countered and showboated in the final seconds. From the second through the sixth, Rosario continued out-scoring Rebollar. In the tenth and final round, Rosario kept up the pressure in a solid fight from Rebollar, who was just outgunned all the way.

In the first round, it was close, with Lacy throwing wild rights and Mireles countering. In the second round, it was all Lacy, with little coming back from Mireles. In the third round’s final seconds, Lacy hurt Mireles with a right hand body shot. Mireles is doing more posing than fighting. Lacy complained of being tired.
In the fourth round, Mireles finally landed his first solid punch and took the round. In the fifth round’s final seconds, Lacy rocked Mireles with a right on the chin. Lacy looked exhausted at the end. In the sixth and final, Lacy did more holding due to being tired but still landed some rights on the chin. Mireles couldn’t take advantage of Lacy being exhausted and failed to impress.
Referee Tony Weeks. Scores were 58-56 Lacy, 57-57 twice as did KH.
Super Featherweight Gabriel “Asesino” Garcia, 10-0 (6), defeated Joshua “Spotlight” Montoya, 6-4-2 (0) over six rounds.

Lightweight Charlie Sheehy, 8-0 (5), dominated southpaw Jesus Vasquez, Jr., 10-2 (2) over six lopsided rounds.
In the first two rounds, Sheehy dominated Vasquez, hurting him several times and chasing him around the ring. In the third round, a right from Sheehy on the chin had Vasquez hurt early in the round.
In the fourth, the domination of Sheehy continued. In the fifth round, one wonders how Vasquez can take the punishment he is taking but is holding up.
In the sixth and final round, referee Celestino Ruiz warns Vasquez of a punch behind the head seconds into the round. Vazquez never stopped trying but had no power to hold off Sheehy. His conditioning allowed him to go the distance. Sheehy may have hurt his right hand, but later, a torn bicep was reported.
Scores were all 60-54, as did KH.
