"The Plaza Monumental's first big fight of the year turned out to be a quick ending. Mexico's Ruben Olivares disposed of Ad Zapanta of the Philippines by a knockout in the main event. The former bantamweight champion used body punches at the start of the 2nd round as it started to affect Zapanta's condition. Zapanta was standing on the ropes as Olivares landed a right on the chin for the second and deciding fall of which Zapanta could not get up in time." -El Paso Herald
