PBC FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS: Daurte vs Fierro May 2, 2026

PPV action also saw Oscar Duarte (31-2-1, 23 KOs) winning a hotly-contested 12-round split decision over Angel Fierro in a super lightweight battle.

Fierro (23-5-2, 18 KOs) missed the 140-pound weight limit by 3.4 pounds on Friday, yet Duarte opted to fight him anyway. The decision nearly proved to be a costly one in this back-and-forth war.

“First of all, I want to thank everybody for being here and everybody who supported me. And listen, I won this fight and I made weight. He lost and he didn’t make weight,” said Duarte.

“This was a good fight. Fierro is a great fighter. I respect him, but I won this fight. I went forward, pressed the action, and landed the best shots in a competitive fight. I always had the confidence that I was going to win. The fans enjoyed the fight, and that motivates me even more to give them another war next time.”

Duarte pressing forward in the early going, cutting off the ring and investing heavily to the body, while Fierro relied on movement, counters and sharp combinations.

The momentum began to shift in the sixth, when Fierro stunned Duarte with a left hook to the chin. Duarte occasionally countered with heavy shots, but Fierro was landing the cleaner blows in most sequences and utilizing effective footwork. The late swings in momentum kept the outcome uncertain, as both fighters closed strong. One judge scored it 116-112 for Fierro with the other two submitting cards of 116-112 and 115-113 in favor of Duarte.

“The crowd made itself heard and saw me win,” said Fierro. “I believe the fight was mine, but I’m also happy with the support from the crowd and for putting on a show.

“I showed the people a different Tashiro—one with a real hunger to win. The people saw it; the judges didn’t. I want a rematch. I’ll be back in the gym next week, more focused than ever, to push forward with my team.”
