In a battle of crafty southpaw super flyweights, WBC champion Cristian Mijares (34-3-2, 13 KOs) won a twelve round split decision over Jose Navarro (26-4, 12 KOs). Ring technician Mijares systematically outpointed Navarro, cutting him badly over the right eye and closing his left eye, en route to a 115-113, 117-111 win on two cards. Judge Doug Tucker turned in a bizarre card 120-108 for Navarro. Navarro is now 0-4 in world title fights.
