Doyle (2-4, 1 KO), who was coming off a first round TKO win over previously unbeaten Neuky Santelises just five days ago, wasn’t able to see lightning strike twice against the patient Gonzalez, who was able to stagger his foe twice in the first round, but wasn’t able to get him out of there.

In the last bout before the main televised portion of the evening began, 23-year old Jr. Middleweight Jorge Melendez (25-2-1, 24 KO), 155, of Manati, Puerto Rico, laid a one-sided battering on 34-year old James Winchester (15-7, 5 KO), 155, of Greensboro, North Carolina, to score a stoppage in the fourth. After scoring knockdowns in rounds two and three, Melendez looked to close the show in the fourth. A body tangle at mid-ring sent Winchester to the floor. No knockdown was scored.

It didn’t last much longer, Melendez trapping him on the ropes and ripping with both fists, referee Ricky Gonzalez saving Winchester at :54 second of round four.
