Mexico’s 3-time world super flyweight champion Cristian “El Diamante” Mijares (53-8-2, 26 KOs) took on his fellow countryman, invicto Andres “Jaguarito” Gutiérrez (34-0-1, 24 KOs), in the 12-round main event for the vacant World Boxing Council (CMB) Silver Featherweight Championship. The outcome was controversial and now American viewers can be the judge.

WBC top 10 rated Mijares (la foto a la izquierda), 34, is a former IBF, WBA Super and WBC super flyweight world champion. The future Hall of Fame candidate is 11-5 in world title fights with key victories over Chatchai Sasakul,Jorge Arce y Katsushige Kawashima (dos veces).

The 22-year-old Gutierrez (pictures to right), Sin clasificar. 6 por el CMB, se convirtió en profesional en 15. The hot prospect has collected numerous title belts, including WBC Silver and Caribbean Boxing Federation super bantamweight, Federación Internacional de Boxeo (FIB) peso gallo, and WBC FECARBOX and World Boxing Association (AMB) Fedecentro featherweight.

In a battle of typically tough Mexican welterweights, Juan “Zurdo” Alvarez (23-5, 16 KOs), a southpaw who was riding a 10-fight win streak into his June 4^º match up, met former World Boxing Federation (WBF) campeón Jose “Pistón” López (25-4-2, 15 KOs) in a scheduled 8-round bout.

Also airing is a scheduled 8-round showdown between dangerous Mexican and Filipino rivals, Edgar “Energía” Jiménez (21-11-2, 15 KOs) y Jovylito “J-Flash” Aligarbes (12-3, 6 KOs). The 23-year-old Jimenez is a former FECARBOX bantamweight and Mexican flyweight champion who, two fights ago, took a 10-round decision from 28-0 Ivan Morales. The highlight of Aligarbes’ pro career to date is stopping Angelito Merin in the second round of their WBC Youth World super flyweight title fight in 2013.
