Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas - Former champion and San Antonio-native Mario “El Azteca” Barrios snapped his two-fight losing streak with a razor sharp performance against Jovanie Santiago.

Barrios dropped Santiago in the eighth round with a left to the body and followed up with a barrage of punches, causing referee Mark Calo-Oy, upon the request of Santiago’s corner, to stop the one-sided fight at 1:42 of the eighth of their welterweight contest scheduled for 10 rounds. Barrios led 70-63 on all three judges’ scorecards at the time of the stoppage.
