Securing his WBC Cabofe title and streaking up the heavyweight rankings, Manuel "El Toro" Quezada (28-4, 18 KO's) triumphed in spectacular fashion with a one-punch KO over Travis "Freight Train" Walker (31-3-1, 25 KO's).

When the opening bell rang, both fighters felt each other out, with Walker trying to land the big blow as Quezada came forward. As the round continued, Quezada landed a vicious left hook to the body, which hurt Walker, forcing him to guard low.

Quezada proceeded to work his way inside and took advantage of Walker's open holes up top. With 3 seconds left in the round, Quezada landed an amazing one-two combo that floored Walker, ending the bout instantly at the 2:57 mark.

The hometown crowd of Quezada rose to their feet in jubilee, as their fighter was crowned the victor.

With the victory, Quezada's extends his winning streak, making it 17 in a row. The opportunity to land a big fight with one of the top heavyweights in the world is now in place.

"To get the knockout they way I did was an incredible feeling," said Quezada. "I was nervous coming into this fight as I knew Walker was a big puncher, but once I heard the crowd cheering me on as I walked into the ring, everything changed.

"I just felt a confidence that I never felt. Joe Goossen had me working on a body attack and it worked. Those shots to the body opened up the head shot. I took advantage, landed that right hand, and bam it was over. I thank God for this victory."

In the opening minuets of a 6 round Jr. Welterweight bout, undefeated standout Mike Dallas Jr. (9-0, 2 KO's) came out guns blazing dropping Francisco Rios (10-10, 6 KO's) twice before referee Marcos Rosales stopped the action. The time was 2:41 of round one.

Using her jab to perfection, former WBC lightweight champion Jessica "Ragin" Rakcozy (31-3, 11 KO's) cruised to a TKO victory, with a third round stoppage over Jessica Mohs (7-21-2, 2 KO's). Rakcozy's one-two combo was lethal as Mohs corner threw in the towel at the 1:13 mark.

Keeping his undefeated streak alive, featherweight sensation Rico Ramos (11-0, 7 KO's) used his lightning fast hand speed to score a one-sided TKO over Juan Jose Beltran (19-14-3, 11 KO's). Beltran's corner stopped the fight after the forth round.

Jr. Welterweight Hector Alatorre (16-8, 5 KO's) applied pressure and used his superior boxing skills to outwork journeyman Christian Favela (17-20-6, 10 KO's) over 6 rounds, in route to a unanimous decision. Scorecards read 59-55 and 58-56 twice.

In a 4 round Jr. Middleweight bout that featured back and forth action, Adrian Tait improved his record to (4-1-1, 2 KO's) with a unanimous decision over Joshua Zurfluh (1-6-1). Scorecards read 40-36 across the board.
