The main event was a classic match-up between a Puerto Rican slickster, Jose Nieves, (15-0-2, 8 KOs) and a crafty and gritty Mexican slugger, Tomas Rojas, (22-8, 14 KOs). Styles make fights and this ten rounder was no exception. Nieves scored freely, his jabs finding a permanent home on Rojas' face; but the native of Veracruz, Mexico would not be denied. He pressed the action, landing some heavy shots of his own which had Nieves visiting the canvas in the fifth and sixth rounds. The official scoring indicated that Nieves would add a unanimous decision to his resumé, 95-93, 96-92 (twice). However, the fans didn't think Nieves deserved the W, and they booed the decision loudly. Congratulations to the winner and to Tomas Rojas as well, who brought it to Nieves for the most part of the bout.
