Ricardo Lopez 49-0 (39) vs (IBF, WBA, WBC & WBO) Myung-Woo Yuh 23-0 (8)

The first three rounds were highly competitive, but Lopez harder left hooks seemed to give him the edge. Finito was warned in the third for holding and hitting and Myung came out with blazing combos in round four, Ricardo met him and they traded throughout the evenly contested round.

Lopez unloaded a vicious body assault in the fifth round that had Yuh holding on along the ropes while Lopez dug hooks deep into the side and drew swelling from the South Koreans left eye with uppercuts in close. The power of Lopez just proved to be too much for Yuh to overcome, whenever he was able to score with a few shots in a row Ricardo would stop him in his tracks with powerful hooks to the body and right hands to the head. Yuh took a particular hiding in round eight when he was rocked with a 3 punch combo and the UD for Lopez was never in doubt when the judges cards were collected. 118-111 x3

Gonzalez battered Hugo in round three with several punishing combinations and he staggered him twice with murderous hooks. Cazares tagged him early in the fourth with a right hand and he held his own while Humberto fired off jabs and short hooks behind them.

Giovanni Segura 42-1 (33) vs Jung-Koo Chang 41-2 (15)

Chang boxed brilliantly over the first six minutes, mixing in a sustained body attack with crisp combinations to the head. Segura continued to press forward and he landed several punishing body shots as well as uppercuts to the head that left Chang with a mouse on his left eye. Jung-Koo schooled his foe with jabs and right hands during a dominant fourth round. The next two rounds were tight with Segura finding his way inside more often and he momentarily buckled Chang late in the sixth with an uppercut.

Giovanni had a big round seven, stunning Chang with another uppercut and banging hooks off of his increasingly swelling left eye, late in the round Segura was deducted a point for holding and hitting after a previous warning. Chang had the best of the early portion of round eight with laser combinations, but Segura kept pressing forward and he landed two vicious uppercuts and a hook flush on the chin that had Chang in trouble along the ropes as the Mexican flailed away to the body at rounds end.

Jung-Koo stunned everyone when he stormed out for round nine and landed a brutal combination that put Segura down for a nine count, the suddenly exhausted looking Mexican was quickly backed to the ropes and Chang hammered away to the body and head with relentless volume until two short uppercuts violent snapped back his head and the referee stepped in.


Yoko Gushiken 23-0 (18) vs Jorge Arce 67-15-1 (44)

Yoko used his significant boxing skills over the first four rounds, strong lead left hands began to puff up Arce's right eye and he constantly had his jab in the often wild Mexican's face. Jorge closed the distance in the fifth and sixth and started digging his hooks to the body and head while Gushiken countered with sharp combinations.

The seventh and eight were fairly pedestrian as Gushiken used movement to keep out of range. Arce changed that in round nine when he staggered Yoko with a hook and moments later landed another hook that ripped open a cut over Yoko's right eye; Jorge blasted the body and connected with three more hooks up top to generate swelling on the already bloody eye in his best round of the fight.

They opened round ten trading bombs and Yoko showed why he is the defending champion when he dropped Arce for a seven count with a short hook, later in the round he floored him again with a sharp cross and, though he managed to survive the round, Arce looked tired heading back to his corner. After a dominant round eleven from Gushiken, Arce showed the heart of a champion int he final round when he staggered Yoko with a hook and unleashed blow after blow in an effort to end matters. He fell short, but earned plenty of respect in Gushiken's UD win.. 116-110 x2 & 115-111
