Mexican boxer Jorge Chino García lost by unanimous decision to Puerto Rican Zander Zayas, who became the new World Boxing Organization world champion (154 pounds).

The Los Mochis native has a record of 33 wins and five losses; the San Juan native, meanwhile, has never tasted defeat and boasts an unblemished record of 21 victories.
Meanwhile, Emiliano El General Vargas lived up to expectations and knocked out Alexander Espinoza in the first round to earn his 15th professional win.
Less than a minute into the fight, the American of Mexican descent (20-4-1) landed a punch to his opponent's head, sending him to the canvas. The Ecuadorian boxer tried to get up but couldn't, and the referee stopped the fight. The official time of the bout was 42 seconds.
