Final:

Rodrigo Valdez vs Edison Miranda - Valdez scored a knockdown early along the way to what I thought was an easy 10-4 decision. The fight went to the judges however, and they can be fickle at times. they scored it 11-4, 8-6, 9-6 making it far closer than it was for Valdez. Valdez is expected to do well as Columbia's Middleweight representative.

In the 3rd round Villarreal was down for an 8 count and the referee seriously considered stopping the fight but the bell rang. Villarreal came on strong, landing a wicked hook to floor Cassiani for the count in the 8th!

Final:

Jose Leonard Bermudez vs Newton Villarreal - In yet another brutal test of wills, Bermudez was building up a solid lead when he was dropped early in the 8th with most of the round left. Villarreal poured it on with Bermudez covering against the ropes, but it was beginning to look like he'd weather the storm when a picture perfect cross put Bermudez down a 2nd time in the round, this time for the 10 count!

Villarreal moves into the World Tourney with 3 straight KO's against solid competition.
