Referee:  Sam Garza

Judges: Jerry Wright, Levi Martinez, Mark Ortega
Result: Lazcano 10 Round Split Decision
 

Quotes:  Lazcano "He didn't come to fight.  I kept telling him, 'cmon and fight; you don't have any guts to fight.'  He was a very slippery fighter so it was somewhat difficult to fight him the way I wanted but he didn't really come to fight.   As far as split decision, I can agree with that because I went in there and delivered and he didn't.  He really didn't want to fight."

Garnica: "I think I should have won the fight and the split decision went the wrong way because you could even tell by the crowds reaction.   I gave him a boxing lesson and all he came to do was wrestle with me.  He's a dirty fighter and I think I won the fight."

"I didn't feel too well tonight, a bit groggy.   Originally I was suppose to fight on the 14th and then it got moved and my training camp was extended to the longest it has been.  I give myself a five.   But I was happy to get the fight.  People expect me to go in and blow out my opponent.
