Larios had some good rounds early, but was cut over the left eye by a punch in round three, which bled for the rest of the fight. By round four, Pacman was in command and the bout became one-sided in his favor after that. Larios was down briefly in round seven and again in round twelve with about :30 left in the fight, but made it to the final bell, fighting courageously the entire twelve round distance. Scores were 117-110, 118-108, 120-106. The bout was for WBC International 130lb title.

Junior lightweight Jimrex Jaca (26-2-1,, 11 KOs) won a seven round technical decision over Hector Javier Marquez (28-17, 21 KOs). The bout was stopped due to a cut suffered by Jaca as a result of an unintentional headbutt. Scores were 60-53 on all cards.
