After winning only one of his first five fights by knockout, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. got back on track with a first-round knockout of Guadalupe Arce. In their fight at the Auditorio Municipal in Tijuana, Arce was knocked down three times before referee Juan José Ramírez called a stop to the bout at two minutes ten seconds in the first round.
Arce, of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, has since had a couple of shots at the WBA Continental Americas super featherweight title, as well as a shot at at top prospect Luis Maldonado, but came out of those bouts unsuccessfully.
In the main event of the evening, Diego Morales won an unanimous decision over Adonis Rivas in a WBC bantamweight title eliminator bout. Also on the card, Luis Valdez won by fourth round TKO after Eric Ortiz could not continue due to cuts over both eyes caused by unintentional headbutts. Damián Norris knocked out Jacinto Diaz in two. Ricardo Dominguez won a four-round decision over Jose Luis Manriquez.
