- Due to the amount of fights he had recently taken part in as well as the amount of blows he took in this bout, the California State Athletic Commission ordered a 60 day rest period for Muniz. An order that was honored by the Arizona Commission who cancelled his upcoming December 22nd bout with David Oropeza in Tucson.
