Comments

- Ringside physician, Dr. William Berliner, advises Weeks to stop the bout due to a large cut over Larios' left eye.
- Larios was down for a three count in the opening round.
- Adding to the intrigue of the contest, Vazquez's IBF belt was not at risk. The IBF had withdrawn its sanction after Larios refused to participate in an IBF-mandated second weigh-in the afternoon of the fight.
- Vazquez wins the vacant Ring Magazine Jr. Featherweight world title.
