Vicente Escobedo claimed added another former world titleholder to his resume by scoring an impressive second-round knockout of veteran Kevin Kelley in the second round of their scheduled ten-round lightweight bout. Kelley edged the opening round that saw him land a few good body shots while Escobedo remained rather ineffective. That all changed in the opening seconds of the second round when Kelley was dropped by a dangerous right hand. Kelley made it to his feet before being battered by another series of heavy shots courtesy of the local prospect. Official time of the stoppage was 1:53 in the second round.
