In the co-feature, former WBC super bantamweight champion Victor "Viking" Terrazas (37-3-1, 21 KO's) will face Jesus "Chito" Rios (29-5-1, 23 KO's) in a ten round contest. And Silverio "Chamaco" Ortiz (30-14-0, 14 KO's) battles Fernando "Hurricane" Castaneda (21-8-0, 14 KO's).

Aguelo, who was Orient Pacific Boxing Federation ranked no. 10 superfeatherweight, survived an early knockdown in round two, and displayed furious and continuous attacks that he finally stopped Hiroto Fukuhara at 1:26 of the eighth and final canto in Mimasaka, Okayama, Japan. Fukuhara was hospitalized after his surprising defeat after leading on points, but he proved to be all right.
