Diego Pacheco vs Marcelo Coceres fight card has produced some phenomenal performances
The event is still underway and it has produced some great performances.
Bantamweight boxer Jonathan Rodriguez pulled off an upset win over former super flyweight champion Khalid Yafai. Rodriguez knocked down the 34-year-old former champion twice before the referee intervened to save Yafai from a one-sided beatdown.
Lightweight prospect Marc Castro also showed up on point at the event. Most experts opined that Castro would be too much for his opponent Gonzalo Fuenzalida, and that's exactly what happened. The 24-year-old finished the Argentinian via TKO in round seven.
Meanwhile, Erika Cruz outworked former WBA female super bantamweight champion Mayerlin Rivas with insane volume and pressure, walking away with a majority decision win after 10 hard-fought rounds. Rivas fought well early on. However, Cruz took over the fight in the later rounds.
