"Ruben Navarro used only four rounds to dispose of Ray Bautista Thursday night in the main event at the Olympic Auditorium. After a first round that offered little in the way of aggressiveness, Navarro opened up in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, landing jolting right jabs to the body and face of Bautista, who found it difficult to get out of range of Navarro's long-distance punching. In the 4th Navarro landed six straight rights and penned the hurt Bautista in the corner and hammered him with rapid left hooks until referee Dick Young stepped in and stopped the fight at 2:24 of the round." -Pasadena Star-News
