In the evening’s sole heavyweight bout, Yuma’s own Carlos Flores ended the night on a high note for the local crowd, stopping Rudy Aguilar via first-round punches. After patiently stalking Aguilar in the fight’s opening moments, Flores exploded with a flurry of punches and knees that left his hapless opponent looking utterly befuddled and retreating in haste.
Flores gave chase, dropping his opponent and following with hammerfists until referee Jason Herzog intervened at 1:19 of the first.
