Featherweight Sulaiman Segawa (17-4-1 (6)) defeated Ruben Villa (22-2, 7 KOs) by 10-round unanimous decision.

Featherweight southpaw Javier “Lil Red” Zamaron (9-0 (4)) defeated Mikey “El Chamuco” Bracamontes (9-2-1 (5)) in six rounds.
In the first round, Bracamontes dominated Zamaron. In the second round, Zamaron dominated until the fourth round. In the fifth round, Bracamontes dominated, but in the sixth and final round, Zamaron dominated again.

Super lightweight Israel “Bad Ways” Mercado (11-1-1 (7)) defeated Dondrell “The Sniper” Haynes (8-2 (7)) in six rounds.
Mercado dominated Haynes in the first three rounds, especially with a right punch to the jaw, and in the sixth and final round, Haynes may have won the first round, but not the bout.
The referee was Robert Hoyle and the scores were 60-54, 59-55, 59-55.
Super featherweight Albert “Chop Chop” Gonzalez (9-0 (5)) stopped Conrado Martinez (9-2 (0)) in 1 minute, 23 seconds of the sixth and final round.
The first two rounds saw Gonzalez hounding and outmaneuvering Martinez, but in the third round, Martinez shook Gonzalez with a right uppercut midway through the round, landing his first effective punch.
In the fourth round, Gonzalez again took control. In the sixth and final round, a series of punches that ended with a left punch to the jaw from Gonzalez brought Martinez down for a count of eight from the referee. Gonzalez then left Martinez defenseless, and referee Thomas Taylor wisely stopped the bout.
