Named "El Feroz," in his hometown of Oxnard, California, the undefeated champion Vargas delivered only the second loss of his more experienced challenger's career by a TKO over the Texan southpaw Marquez, "El Diamante" from Houston, in the 11th of 12. The Kiwi "Terminator" Tua's 12-round title bout with the New Yorker "Bring Da Pain" Bell did not last, ending before the 1st bell by a TKO of the challenger. On the undercard, the Mexican "Hispanic Causing Panic" Lazcano, who would go on to hold several lightweight titles, knocked out "Tito" Tovar in the 2nd of an 8-round match.
