At the Deportivo San Damian in San Martin Texmelucan, Puebla, Mexico, Sammy Gutiérrez (28-5-2, 19 KOs) stopped Luis Carrillo (10-2-1, 9 KOs) in the third round to win the interim-WBA minimumweight title. Gutiérrez decked him Carrillo in the third and finished the job once Carillo beat the count.
In the co-feature, power punching featherweight Eduardo Escobedo (29-1, 20 KOs) was not able to stop former world champion Cesar Soto (63-20-3, 43 KOs), and instead walked away with a ten round unanimous decision win.
