Arthur Villanueva kept his undefeated record with an excellent boxing performance against the tough former world champion Julio Cesar ?Pingo? Miranda of Mexico in a ten round non-title contest. Villanueva used his sharp jab and footwork effectively in the early rounds. But Miranda became more aggressive in the third but Villanueva still took the round with accurate head shots. In the subsequent rounds Miranda would take three to four punches just so he could land one of his own. Villanueva built a wide lead with exact combinations but Miranda remained dangerous when he got in close and landed heavy hooks. The Mexican began to miss widely in the eighth round but he still kept going forward. Villanueva?s finished strong and won by scores of 99-91,98-92 and 98-92.

He beat the count but an overhand right sent Sukkasem down hard to the canvas again. The referee waived it off at the 2:19 mark.
