“I have to give Rodriguez a lot of credit for hanging in there, he’s definitely a very tough fighter,” said Torres. “I know I hurt him a couple of times, but he hung in there. I’m ready to step up in competition and fight anyone who has a regional title. I know I have what it takes to become a world champion one day, so I’m going to keep working hard in the gym till I get my shot.”
In the 8-round co-feature, super flyweight prospects, Saul Sanchez (15-1, 8 KO) and Mario Hernandez (10-2-1, 3 KOs), battled it out in an all-out war in which Sanchez was victorious. Score cards read 78-74, 79-73 in favor of Sanchez.

The tables quickly turned the following round, as Brewart sent Hernandez to the canvas and he never recovered, forcing the referee to stop the bout at the 1:48 mark of round two.
