A lively night in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, saw hometown headliner Eduardo “Sugar” Nunez share the ring with Puerto Rico’s Christopher “Pitufo” Diaz, topping a card that mixed knockdowns, cuts and a disputed scorecard on the undercard.
Nunez retained his super featherweight status with a unanimous decision over Diaz after 12 fast-paced rounds, scored 117–109, 117–109 and 116–110. Diaz pressed early with the jab and had a slip ruled in the third before Nunez’s body work and combinations took hold. The seventh was the swing: Nunez scored two knockdowns - first with a right high on the head, then another right moments later. Diaz rallied in the championship rounds and opened a cut over Nunez’s left brow in the twelfth, but the damage on the cards was done. The wide totals didn’t quite reflect how competitive many exchanges were.
Pedro Guevara and late substitute Alexis “Chapito” Molina fought to a ten-round draw in the chief support. A clash of heads in the fourth left Guevara cut, and the momentum swung back and forth from there. Molina’s right hand repeatedly found the target down the stretch, while Guevara answered with spurts of sharp combinations. The judges split 97–93 Molina, 96–94 Guevara and 95–95.
Yoali Mosqueda stopped Germán “El Chile” Valenzuela at 1:42 of the sixth round in a flyweight bout built on steady pressure and body shots. Mosqueda buzzed Valenzuela late in the fifth and twice punched the mouthpiece free in the sixth; as the referee escorted Valenzuela to reinsert it, the corner signaled they’d seen enough.
“Handsome” Héctor Beltrán Jr. blasted out Moisés Martínez-Zumaya in the opening round at 2:03. A right to the body and right uppercut produced the first knockdown, and a clean follow-up right finished matters as the referee waved it off with Martínez-Zumaya bloodied from the nose.
