In a rematch, IBF bantamweight champion Rafael Marquez (36-3, 32 KOs) stopped a courageous Silence Mabuza (19-2, 15 KOs) in nine rounds Saturday night at the Montbleu Resort Casino & Spa in Stateline, Nevada. Early on, Marquez looked like he was picking up where he left off in his previous four round destruction of Mabuza, however then the story changed. Starting in round three, the game Mabuza battled his way back into the fight, probably winning rounds three to five. Both fighters excitingly exchanged bombs in round six as the hard-fought bout became very intense. In rounds eight and nine, Marquez' hard punches started taking their toll, busting up Mabuza's face and leading Mabuza'a corner to stop the fight at the end of the ninth. It was Marquez' seventh successful defense. He will now move to the 122lb division.

Super Bantamweight Jorge Lacierva (29-6-6, 20 KOs) dropped Jose Angel Beranza (28-9-2) twice in round one and battered him until the bout was stopped at 2:16 of round five.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jr welter Jose Antonio Izquierdo (14-1, 13 KOs) demolished Jonathan Nelson (13-15) 70 seconds into round one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Middleweight Vladimir Zykov (17-0, 3 KOs) stopped James Wayka (14-5) in round five at 2:18.
