The fight was called at 2:31 of the fight.  Thompson raised his record to 29 victories, 2 defeats and 27 knockouts, while Juarez dropped to 16 wins, 6 defeats, 2 draws and 4 knockouts. The fight took place at the International Business Center and Conventions of Chetumal in Quintana Roo, Mexico.

Thompson beat down Juarez in every round to the head and body. In the fifth he dropped Juarez three times before the fight was stopped.

Puerto Rican super bantamweight César "Junito" Seda won a hard fought eight round decision over Luis "Duro" May. Seda overcame a first round knockdown to take over the fight and won the fight on the cards. Seda increases his recoord to 23 wins in return for one loss and 16 knockouts.
