Tonight that building process went a step further as the boxing ring needed to be assembled while fans waited and watched. Once the ring was completed the fights themselves proved compelling and competitive.

Eromosele Albert (22-4-1, 10 KO’s) won the vacant IBO Latin American middleweight championship against Joaquin Zamora (18-2-1, 12 KOs) at 2:11 seconds of the 9th round. Zamora received numerous incidental head butts which left gushing wounds above his hairline and below his right eye.
