Agustin Quintana suffered bruising under both eyes and a cut outside his left eye... but insisted he had one more round in him. The referee - who observed closely in between rounds - disagreed and stopped the fight just prior to the start of the 10th and final round.
Official time: 3:00 of Round 9.
Emiliano Vargas advanced to 17-0 (14 KOs), including a perfect 5-0 (3 KOs) at this very venue. It wasn't his best night at the office but a stiff test and he was able to settle into a groove as the bout progressed.
Saturday marked Vargas' first fight of 2026 - and since his celebrated guest appearance along with WBA/WBO 154lbs titlist Xander Zayas during Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance earlier this month in Santa Clara, California.
