On Saturday night, super featherweight Jorge Solis (40-2-2, 29 KOs), who owns an interim title, defeated Francisco Cordero (23-1, 15 KOs), to hand him the first loss of his career. Cordero was game, but Solis' body attack was strong from the opening round and continued to wear down his opponent. After a first round knockdown, Solis again dropped Corder in the 4th before the fight was finally waved off in the 6th. Solis was in complete control leading up to the stoppage and has slowly been establishing himself as one of the better junior lightweights.

In the co-featured bout, WBC junior flyweight titlist Omar Nino (30-3-2, 12 KOs) put on a dominant performance against Ronald Barrera (27-8-2, 17 KOs), before Barrera failed to come out for the 7th round.
