WBC Super Featherweight Title Bout - interim (12 Rds)

Francisco Lorenzo (33-4, 14 KOs) wins by disqualification over Humberto Soto (44-7-2, 28 KOs)

In the fourth round, Lorenzo was against the ropes, taking a barrage of punches and went to his knees after

being hit with a left (up at the count of seven). The fight resumed and at one point, Soto had Lorenzo against

the ropes (in a corner) peppering him with punches when the ref stepped in to stop the bout...or that's what it

looked like but inexplicably, the ref just separated them and the fight continued. Soto resumed his attack

and a bloody Lorenzo went down on his own trying to avoid Soto's punches (Lorenzo went to his knees as

Soto was in the process of throwing punches - left and right hook) - and on the replay, it looked like Soto's

left grazed the back (top) of Lorenzo's head as the ref stepped in. Lorenzo just stayed on his knees,

eventually sitting in the corner apparently hurt from the punch that looked like it grazed him as the ref called

time due to what he called a late shot after Lorenzo was down. After some time and discussion, the ref (Joe

Cortez) ruled that because Lorenzo was intentionally hit while down, Soto was disqualified.

wins title from Diaz.
