The show opens with s/bantams Seeger and Fonseca battling for the NABF, NABO straps - Seeger operating from the orthodox side and Fonseca the port side. 

Fonseca clearly the physically stronger of the two, in technique, strayed from the Queensbury rules while incorporating some of both, yesteryear featherweight champ Sandy Saddler, and lightweight belt holder Paddy De Marco. 

To be more specific, Fonseca would wear down Seeger with help from on and off head butting ala De Marco, and Saddler holding behind the head while flailing away with the inside left-hook. 

Seeger showed heart while battling with cuts under both eyes and the nose - to the extent official scoring after eight stanzas had it Seeger up 79-73, 77-75 - 76-76. My unofficial saw it Fonseca 77-75. 

Then numero nine, and Fonseca follows a volley of head punches with a big left hand, that drops Seeger along the ropes - referee Ruben Carrion quickly sounds taps on the fallen Georgian. 

Rest of the story:

                           Victor Fonseca (17-0, 9 KO) ~ age 28 southpaw. In style the port-starboard advantage not there - is strictly “Katy bar the door” while running on a full tank. Not a serious threat to the upper echelon at s/bantam. Entertaining club fighter.
                         Al Seeger (28-5, 22 KO) ~ age 29 - have no clue where them 22 scalps have been taken - while showing decent jab and straight right hand combo, lacks the clout to earn needed respect. On my card he grabs rounds six and seven while Fonseca takes pit stop to refuel. Says here, while entertaining among the minor league clientele, neither Fonseca or Seeger qualify to dance with the Vasquez, Marquez, Caballero, Juanma Lopez hit-men.            
  
Referee Rubin Carrion - the cautions to Fonseca over clash of head violations and hold & hitting had zero impact on the Puerto Rican street fighter. Good news he wasted no time calling it no-mas when the battered/bloody Seeger fell to the canvas halfway into number nine.

....................................................................................

 
Welterweights Freddy Hernandez  and Damian Frias followed in a meeting for the WBC Latino belt with Hernandez the quicker out of the gate with good body punching. 

I give Frias the edge in stanza two as he picks up the pace but then fails to claim another round until final candle number ten when he finally put together a serious albeit brief barrage that rocked Hernandez. Too little too late. 

Scoring went unanimous Hernandez 98-92 on all cards - my unofficial made it a 98-92 four bagger. 

Closing Comments: Freddy Hernandez ( 26-1, 18 KO) ~ Age 30 - the Lynwood, Calif. via Mexico City veteran is comfortable where he’s at the Triple A level. Showed decent body punching when on the inside but hangs around too long in the kitchen and against more aggressive opponent makes target for incoming mail. Guess here is not a prayer among a field of 147 with names Mosley, Cotto, Pacquiao, Clottey, Berto etc.                
                              Damian Frias (16-2, KO7) ~ Age 33 - the Miami -via Cuba- southpaw never gave a full court press a chance until number nine - the late wake-up call hinted he may have got the job done had he been aggressive from the start. He too is a certified minor league talent. 

Referee Rafael Ramos - too much showboating as he danced and pranced about with off the cuff commands.
