WBO Super Flyweight kingpin Fernando Montiel, 37-2-1 (28), led the way on a good bill from Plaza De Toros in San Luis Potosi with a third round put-out of Jalisco slugger Luis Maldonado, 37-3-1 (28).
The skills of Montiel, who has only ever lost in world title fights, proved more than Maldonado, who has also only ever come up short in world title fights, could handle but it was the unheralded power of the Los Mochis based champion that proved to be the deciding factor in the bout.
Ex-WBC Lightweight Champion Cesar Bazan, 47-10-1 (30), returned from two losses and got back on the horse by picking up a ten round decision over novice Juan Jesus Rivera, 3-1 (1).
The sons of former world champions were also in action as super middle southpaw Hector Camacho Jr, 46-3-1 (26), stayed busy with a one round KO of overmatched Roel Salinas, 4-4 (1), while light welter prospect Jorge Paez Jr, 20-1 (12), had a no-contest with Francisco Villanueva, 4-16-1 (2).
