Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was fighting before a sold out crowd when he met Mike Walker (5-5-0) at the Desert Diamond Casino in Tuscon, Arizona. And the wild crowd got exactly wanted when Julio knocked Walker three times in the first round en route to a TKO just two minutes twenty-one seconds into the fight. In the short while the fight lasted, Chavez Jr. was able to get in a variety of punches, the first knockdown coming from a hard right, the second from a body shot and the last from a brutal uppercut. The fight was finally stopped by referee Robert Ferrara in accordance with the three-knockdown rule in effect, and Chavez Jr. upped his record to 12-0.

Also on the card, local middleweight Omar Candelaria won an unanimous decision over Gustavo Medina.
