FRISCO, Texas – Jesse Rodriguez overwhelmed Marco Sustaita for most of their flyweight fight Saturday on the Mikey Garcia-Jessie Vargas undercard. The 20-year-old southpaw spent much of their bout backing up Sustaita with straight left hands, uppercuts and right hooks. Sustaita finally had some success in the seventh round, which he began by catching a Rodriguez with a left hook that seemed to get the 20-year-old prospect’s attention.
FRISCO, Texas – Mikey Garcia came in a pound-and-a-half below the limit for his welterweight fight against Jessie Vargas, just as he did for his 147-pound debut last year. Garcia officially weighed in at 145½ pounds late Friday morning when he stepped on the Texas Combative Sports Program’s scale. Vargas, who’s about four inches taller than Garcia, came in exactly at the welterweight limit of 147 pounds.

ARLINGTON, Texas – The immediate future of his older brother was more meaningful to boxing fans Saturday night, but Marsellos Wilder was able to bounce back from his first defeat. Marsellos Wilder dropped Mark Sanchez once and stopped him soon thereafter in the first round of a four-round cruiserweight bout on the Errol Spence Jr.-Mikey Garcia undercard at AT&T Stadium. Their fight was stopped at 1:29 of the first round because Wilder had unloaded an array of unanswered power punches on a defenseless Sanchez, who was on his feet when the action was halted.
