Jeremy Welch (1-1) vs. Curtis Bibb (0-0)

This fight ended quickly as a no-contest.  Shortly into the fight, Bibb slipped and Welch nearly fell over him.  When he got up, he motioned to the referee that he had an issue.  They called the doctor and stopped the fight calling it an accidental head butt.  The ref did not see it or at least did not indicate it at the time it happened.  My best guess from ringside is that Bibb hit Welch's knee while he was falling forward and Welch was stepping over him.  Technically this fight did not happen.

Ismail Reyna (0-1) vs. Hubaldo Larios (1-1)

Larios won the first and third rounds with superior output and effective body shots while Reyna won the second and fourth rounds by out working Larios.  This fight ended with scores of 38-38, 38-38, and 39-37 for Larios - A majority draw.

DeAndrey Abron (2-0) vs. Domique Azeez (0-0)

DeAndrey wasted no time disposing of Azeez with a thunderous Right Cross at 0:54 of the first round for a TKO victory.  Even his Left Jabs landed with authority before the final shot which appeared to break Azeez's jaw.

Jose Sosa Jr. (5-0) vs. Lee Cargle (34-103-1)

Sosa dominated this fight from the outset.  Cargle did little to stop Sosa from throwing punches and threw very few of his own.  I don't think Cargle was ever hurt but he sure never attempted to earn a round.  All judges scored the fight 40-35 for Sosa.  Jose did knock Cargle down in the second with a body shot but Cargle went down trying to say it was low which it was not.

Julius Fogle (4-0) vs. Robert Ross

Ross had no chance.  Fogle was able to land at will and showboat in between punches.  Ross was knocked down twice in the first but made it to the bell.  He was finished off shortly into the second and had his nose broken in the process.  A TKO victory for Fogle at 0:45 of the second round.

Mary Ortega (28-2-1) vs. Terri Moss (6-7-1)

IWBF Jr. Flyweight World Title

Moss had never been stopped so I expected a ten round war.  Instead, I got a two round dominant performance by Mary Ortega.  Both fighters traded shots in the first until Mary landed a pinpoint Right Hook to the jaw of Terri which dropped her instantly.  Moss somehow got to her feet by the eight count.  She was still hurt but was able to survive to the end of the round.  Again, both fighters traded punches in the second round until again Mary landed another pinpoint Right Hook to the jaw of Moss.  This time when she made it to her feet at the eight count, her corner saw that she was in no condition to continue and asked for the fight to be stopped.  Mary Ortega wins the IWBF World Jr. Flyweight Title at 1:40 of the second round via TKO.
