The main card of the evening saw a brutal third round knockout by Vergil Ortiz Jr. over Mauricio Herrera, Joseph Diaz Jr. claiming the WBA Gold Super Featherweight Title following a seventh round stoppage against Freddy Fonseca, and Lamont Roach Jr. remaining undefeated after a unanimous decision win against Jonathan Oquendo. 

And John Ryder scored two knockdowns before stopping undefeated Bilal Akkawy to capture the WBA interim-super middleweight title.
