In the main event, Fresno’s Mike Ruiz (12-4-3 4 KOs) pounded out a close ten round unanimous decision over Modesto’s Jonathan Torres (8-6-1 2 KOs) in the bantamweight division. Scores read 95-94, 97-92, 97-92. The fight featured momentum swings and a wild finish over the last thirty seconds. Ruiz was deducted a point for a low blow in round five but it didn’t prove to be a difference maker.

In an all out war, Fresno’s Joe Louie Lopez (9-2, 6 KOs) stopped Visalia CA’s Jose Leon (6-2-1, 5 KOs) by TKO at 2:39 into round number five. Referee Dan Stell called a premature halt to what looked like anybody’s fight, much to the displeasure of Leon and the bewilderment of many at ringside in what was an excellent scrap. Fight was in the super middleweight division.

In the four round walkout bout, Fresno’s Jesus Ibarra Sanchez (3-1 2ko’s) won a furious second round TKO of Rasheed Lawal of Nigeria (1-6-1) where heavy shots were traded throughout at 2:59 of the round. Dan Stell once again panicked and prematurely waived the fight off although Sanchez was starting to come on and control the wild action. Lawal was a 2008 Olympian who has had hard luck in his pro career.
