After landing several unanswered right hands, Esparza stopped Campana at :11 of the third round of a scheduled eight-round super flyweight fight. "We worked on being more aggressive and on landing the right hand," said Marlen Esparza. "People aren't used to seeing that side of me, so I showed it to make a statement. Who do I want next? Seniesa Estrada. Did you not see me point at her after I won?" VIP guests for tonight's event included Seniesa Estrada, Azat Hovhannisyan, Alexis Rocha, Charles Huerta, Oscar Negrete, Carlos Morales, Maricela Cornejo, Niko Valdes, Aaron McKenna, Javier Molina, Jessie Roman, Metta World Peace and Louis Lombardi.

Tanajara, Jr. won with three scores of 80-72. "I feel good. I almost had him out, but this guy [Ambriz] can take a punch. I hope to be back as early as June or July. I'm ready for a regional title as soon as Golden Boy Promotions says we're ready for it." Jose Vargas (4-0, 3 KOs) of Pasadena, Calif scored a first-round knockout victory against Jorge Careaga (1-2) of Agua Prieta, Mexico in a scheduled four-round featherweight battle.

"I get in a lot of good work with my teammates Joet Gonzalez and Jousce Gonzalez. They really push me hard. I landed a hard right uppercut that ended the fight quickly, so I hope to be back soon."
