At the Gimnasio José María Vargas in Vargas, Venezuela, former two time champion Alexander Munoz (34-3, 37KOs) won a ten round decision over Felix Machado (25-11, 12KOs) in a bantamweight contest that headlined a packed show at the venue. The scores were 97-93, 97-93 and 96-94.

Munoz was bothered by the flu but he still managed to outbox Machado. He landed the harder puncher, jumped on every open opportunity, kept his distance and was able to make Machado miss many of his counters. It was Munoz's second win since dropping a split decision to Cristian Mijares in a unification boutlast year.
