"In what may have been the most bizarre bout of the undercard, Colombian Francisco Osorio finally had to take control of matters himself to earn a well-deserved TKO loss to Michael Oliveria. Osorio's bout against the unbeaten Florida teenager had been scheduled, and announced, for six rounds, but after half a dozen stanzas a round-card girl materialized in the ring toting a "7" sign, and referee Joe Lupino shrugged and ordered the fighters back into action. Following that round, Osorios, reasoning that this was more punishment than he had bargained for, declined to come out for the eighth and saw his record fall to 12-7. Oliveira is now 9-0." - George Kimball, Thesweetscience.com
