Boxing’s youngest World Champion Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez (18-0, 11 KOs) became a two-weight ruler with a twelve round unanimous decision over Cristian ‘El Chicharito’ Gonzalez (15-1, 5 KOs) to capture the vacant WBO 112-pounds. 

Featherweight Raymond ‘Savage’ Ford (14-0-1, 7KOs) got his biggest win to date, scoring two knockdowns on pace to win a dominant twelve round decision over former WBO junior featherweight titlist Jessie Magdaleno (29-2, 18KOs).
