In what was billed as the toughest test of his career, unbeaten super lightweight Omar “Pollo” Aguilar (18-0, 17 KOs) blew away Carlos “Profeta” Cardenas (26-19-1, 16 KOs) in the first round on Saturday at the Grand Hotel in Tijuana. Time was 2:48. Nine straight KOs now for Aguilar.

Cardenas came into the bout from a majority decision loss to Pedro “Roca” Campa (32-1-1, 21 KOs) a month before in Hermosillo.
