The fights were streamed live globally on Facebook Watch via the Golden Boy Fight Night Page. "It's a great honor to have fought here tonight," said Oscar Duarte. "It was even more special because of all the people from Chihuahua who came to see me. I want to say that they are the ones who motivate me. Fighting at home is a big commitment. You don't just want to win; you have to win convincingly. There was some pressure, but that's why I trained even harder." In the co-main event, Francisco "El Bandido" Vargas (26-2-2, 18 KOs) of Mexico City, Mexico defeated Ezequiel Aviles (16-5-3, 6 KOs) of Ensenada, Mexico via ninth-round technical split decision in a scheduled 10-round lightweight fight. Vargas won with scores of 96-97, 98-94, and 98-94 after the fight was stopped in the ninth round due to a cut on Vargas' right eyelid that was caused by a headbutt. "It was difficult because my opponent would come in headfirst," said Francisco Vargas."He never hurt me, and I believe that I hurt him, and that's why he would clinch me and come in headfirst. I'm going to take some time off to go to the doctor and get surgery in order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of this cut in the future."
