Albuquerque, New Mexico

Heavyweight Bout (8 Rds)

Seth Mitchell (17-0-1, 11 KOs) wins by TKO at 1:18 of the 2nd rd over Johnnie White (22-2, 18 KOs)

In the first round, White downed with a left jab (up right away). In the second round, White got caught with

an overhand right that put him on rubber legs as he tried to walk to the ropes - the ref saw that White was in

trouble and stepped in and stopped the bout as Mitchell was moving in to try and finish the fight.

Featherweight Bout (6 Rds)

Randy Arrellin (4-2, 3 KOs) wins by TKO at :31 of the fourth round over Willie Villanueva (9-2, 2 KOs)

In the third round, Villanueva downed with a wide right and two lefts (up at the count of nine)...the fight

resumed and Arrellin swarmed Villanueva with punches, eventually sending him down again from an

accumulation of punches capped off by a left (up at the count of eight). The fight resumed and Arrellin started

to land some big shots but Villanueva hung on and tried to fight back. Eventually, the two tied up and Arrellin

landed a low blow as the round was coming to an end. Villanueva took a little time to recoup and the two

fighters finished the round swinging....And as the bell sounded to end the round, Arrellin landed a clear

punch to the back of Villanueva (lower back spine area).  Villanueva went down grimacing but the ref told him

he had to get up or the fight would be over (Villanueva didn't get any extra time to recoup from the illegal

blow). At the start of the fourth round, both fighters traded punches until they tied up - Villanueva had

Arrellin's left arm trapped and as Arrellin threw a right uppercut, Villanueva let go and turned his back on

Arrelin which caused the ref to immediately jump in to stop the bout (to Villanueva's Dismay).
