Carlos Zarate vs Lupe Pintor- Good fight with the WBC bantamweight title on the line between former stablemates from Mexico City. In the 4th Zarate drops Pintor and staggers him in the 5th. In the 10th Pintor staggers Zarate with a left hook. Pintor has good success with the left in the 11th. In the 12th Carlos lands a good left hook and opens a small cut on Pintor's eye. He lands more good shots in the 14th. I thought Zarate did enough to win this one but Pintor won the fight by SD.

Wilfredo Gomez vs. Carlos Zarate- The first 3 rounds were good rounds for both fighters with Gomez having the edge IMO. In the 4th Gomez drops Zarate with a left hook and drops him again after the bell causing the ref not to count. In the 5th Gomez staggers Zarate to the ropes. To me it looks like Zarate slips to the canvas and Gomez hits him while he is down but not even a second later Carlos's corner throws in the towel. You could tell this fight happened in P.R. because the crowd was ballistic when Gomez knocked Zarate down and went even more crazy when Gomez won.
