23-year-old Reyes vs the 20-year old Arreola. A couple rounds in it’s a nice back and forth fight with both guys using their skills and landing combinations. Early on Reyes looked sharp. In round 4, Arreola switched it up to southpaw and landed some major shots. From then on it was all Arreola. Reyes showed a strong chin but the body work from Arreola was too much to overcome.

Rogaciano Guerrero Wins Majority Decision 58-56, 58-57, 57-57
25-year-old Guerrero comes in on short notice and 36 hours later has a majority decision win! He came to fight and he got his arm raised. In Martinez’ defense, he had trained for a longer fight and was unaware of who his opponent would be until the weigh-in. He came on strong late but it wasn’t enough. Guerrero came out very aggressive to open the fight and it looked as though Martinez was unprepared for that. “It looked like Guerrero was hitting a heavy bag and it looked like Martinez was letting him do it.”
