• Date: 2016-03-05
• Location: Arena Ciudad de Mexico, Mexico City, Distrito Federal, Mexico
• Referee: Laurentino Ramirez Oropeza
• Judge: Hector Hernandez Vilchis 96-93
• Judge: Humberto Olivares 95-94
• Judge: Rafael Ortiz Loyo 97-93

• Successful comeback win for Margarito, 37, after a self-imposed four year retirement due to injury. Both fighters weighed 154 pounds.
• Margarito's punches were slow overall and lacked the power they had in his prime. However, his work rate of punches was good enough to win.
• Paez, 28, came into the bout having won two of his last seven bouts. His last three opponents had a 56-0 record. Still he had Margarito in trouble.
• Paez knocked down Margarito in the sixth round. Margarito came back on strong in the late rounds and managed to just win the bout on the scorecards.
• One big question was answered: Margarito's surgically repaired right eye held up, and it did not swell shut like it did in his previous bout with Miguel Cotto.
