Ulises Solis, 27-1-2 (20), led the way on a big card south of the border at Palenque De La Expo in Hermosillo, Mexico as the longtime IBF Light Flyweight Champion outpointed Filipino veteran Glenn Donaire, 17-4-1 (9), by wide margins to retain his crown for the seventh time.
Rising light middleweight star Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 37-0-1 (29), was given all he could handle by American campaigner Matt Vanda, 38-7 (21), but managed to pull out a split decision verdict via wildly disparate scorecards.
Undefeated former WBA Light Flyweight kingpin Koki Kameda, 18-0 (12), of Japan stopped Marino Montiel, 30-13-1 (16), in two frames of a ten rounder at super flyweight and flyweight hot prospect Hernan "Tyson" Marquez, 19-0 (14), decisioned German Meraz, 17-10-1 (5), over eight rounds in a rematch.
Over his last 11 bouts, Marquez has only failed to win two of them early, both times facing Meraz.
Former two-time world title challenger at super bantam, Ricardo Castillo, 34-6 (23), returned from a failed bid at the Mexican title in May by stopping Guadalupe Arce, 2-36 (0), in the second.
