Three-time world title challenger Miguel Marriaga (28-3, 24 KOs) returned to action with a third round TKO against late sub Ruben Cervera (10-2, 9 KOs) in a lightweight fight. Marriaga dropped Cervera twice with hooks to the body in round two. Cervera knocked down an off-balance Marriaga in round three, but took more heavy body shots. Cervera didn’t come out for round four. Cervera stepped in when Marriaga’s original opponent arrived 20 pounds over the contract weight.
