Multiple-time world title challenger Pablo Cesar Cano (35-8-1, 25 KOs) stopped Zachary Ochoa (21-4, 7 KOs) in round six of a super lightweight fight at the Whitesands Events Center in Plant City, Florida. Cano nearly got a stoppage in round two. In round three Cano rocked Ochoa with a left hook. By round six, Cano, 34, seemed gassed, but he suddenly dropped Ochoa with a left/right combination and got the stoppage with his follow-up barrage. Time was 1:57.
In a clash between unbeaten lightweights, Jose Nunez (16-0-2, 7 KOs) won a ten round unanimous decision over Omar Salcido (17-1, 12 KOs). Nunez dropped Salcido in round three. In a wild round seven, Nunez dropped Salcido, then Salcido floored Nunez just before the bell. Scores were 95-90, 98-87, 98-89. How these scores were arrived at is one of the mysteries of the universe.
Super featherweight Jose Arellano (11-1, 6 KOs) handed the second straight loss to 6’4 Oscar Alvarez (9-2, 7 KOs) via eight round unanimous decision. The 20-year-old Alvarez, who claims an incredible 665-12 amateur record, was outworked by Alvarez, although he landed some good shots also. Scores were 77-75, 78-74, 79-73.
79-73 is nuts, but the right guy did win. Alvarez has no defense at all. He needs to work on that A LOT immediately.
All these fights were excellent. Pro box continues to deliver good fight card after good fight card. Looking forward to the next one too.
Yeah, I agree. It was a fun card and they usually are.

Sean, forgot the most important thing! And FREE!
Puerto Ricans can take a beating, Ochoa wanted to continue, Imagine if Charlo had the will of Ochoa.
He sure did. A lot of heart. My opinion, it only would have delayed the inevitable. That was one solid hook and right hand.
I must have missed Alvarez first loss, all of a sudden the self anointed outstanding tall amateur freak and has back to back losses. Guess anyone can inflate their amateur record, if he was that good as an amateur maybe he should head back there
You know, obviously a big difference in amateur fights and pro fights, but he seemed decent in there. He hung with his opponent and traded with him. As stated above by Lucie, needs works on his defense. I think he can overcome these defencies. I mean he is 6’4 at a very low weight which is hard to come by and still young.
yes I get that but I still don’t buy his fabricated amateur record
