Red Wing, Minnesota - junior middleweight Matt "The Predator" Vanda (39-7, 22 KOs) stopped Dezi Ford (24-24-2, 9 KOs) in the eight-round at the Treasure Island Casino, securing a November 1 rematch with unbeaten junior middleweight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (37-0-1, 29KOs) at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino.
Vanda was on the losing end of a close split-decision on July 12 in Sonora, Mexico. A tired, bruised and battered Chavez Jr. barely made it out of the ten-round fight. The fight will headline the November 1 Top Rank pay-per-view.
In the main event of the Minnesota card, Anthony Bonsante (32-10-3, 18 KOs) won a ten-round unanimous decision over Carl Daniels (50-15-1, 32 KOs). The scores were 100-90, 99-91, 100-91.
