In the main event of the evening, undefeated super featherweight John John Molina (12-0, 9 KO's) dropped and stopped Jose Alfredo Lugo (10-4, 5 KO's) in the 4th round with a vicious combination to the head. The fight was action packed from beginning until the end as both fighters had their moments. Molina appeared to control the early going, but Lugo found a way to force Molina into fighting off the ropes where Lugo had his best moments.

In the 4th, Lugo began to really turn it on, fighting on the inside while Molina leaned against the ropes. Molina obviously didn't like the pressure as he offered his own right back which was an assortment of headshots, all connecting violently that echoes through the arena as Lugo wobbled around the center of the ring, then a final shot slammed him down to the canvas. There was no count, as the fight was quickly stopped at 2:15 of the 4th.
 

In the co-feature, unbeaten Hector Serrano (7-0, 3 KO's) had a rough time with Terrance Jett (3-10-2, 1 KO) as the two went toe-to-toe for 3 tough rounds before the fight was stopped due to a small cut over the right eye of Jett. Serrano started strong in the opening round, but Jett refused to go down as he appeared to outlast Serrano's heavy punch.

Serrano started to slow and was hit with a hook to the body as well as the head which really got the fight going, however it was stopped before it got to full speed as a punch that caused a small cut over the right eye of Jett streamed blood over the side of his face. The fight was called off in between rounds after the 3rd.
 

In other action, Max Skayzer (2-0, 2 KO) came out quick and blasted out John Dunham (0-1-1) in just 2 rounds. The fight was nearly over seconds into the first round as Skayzer floored Dunham with a left hook that had him in no man's land. After a respectably slow count, Dunham was able to retrieve his senses, but only enough to try and stay away for the remainder of the fight. It only got Dunham out of the first round however, as Skayzer pursued his prey and snapped Dunham's head back with rights and lefts until the fight was finally stopped at :42 of the 2nd.
 

Tom Rittenbaugh (3-2-2) won a 4 round unanimous decision over Ian Mauleon (0-1) who was making his pro debut. Mauleon appeared to be more nervous than excited as either the crowd or his opponent got the better of him as he looked very off his game, turning his back a few times, and not bringing his hands up while Rittenbaugh slapped his head with flush left hooks. Mauleon would slip in the first round as well which was wrongfully ruled a knockdown. Final scores were 40-35, 40-35 and 39-36.


Irish Dean Byrne (7-0) won a slightly controversial 1st round stoppage as a left hook floored Michelangelo Lynks (6-7-2) who wasn't given a chance to get up. Lynks only fell to his knees and didn't appear to be in that much trouble and should have at least been given the chance to get up. The crowd booed the quick stoppage.


Artemio Reyes (1-0) won his pro debut against Raymundo Inda (0-2-1) in a very impressive 1st round knockout. Jabs which set up combinations showed a promising future for Reyes as he controlled the action right as the bell rang. A quick jab, right hand dropped Inda flat on his back and he was in bad shape, with his eyes glassed over. The fight was immediately stopped at 1:09 of the first round.
