Interim WBA Featherweight Title Bout - vacant (12 Rds)

Yuriokis Gamboa (15-0, 13 KOs) wins by TKO at 1:31, 10th rd over Jose Rojas (25-7-1, 1 ND, 17 KOs)

In the fifth round, Rojas threw a right jab, then stepped in and was about to throw a straight left when

Gamboa landed a pushing left hook behind the head that sent Rojas down briefly (as Rojas stepped in to

throw the straight left, it looked liked he overstepped with his right leg causing Rojas to lose his balance

which looked to be more the cause of the knock down) - still counted as a knock down. In the 10th round,

Gamboa and Rojas were exchanging punches when the ref had seen enough of Rojas taking punches and

stepped in and stopped the bout (Rojas right eye was also very swollen). Gamboa wins title.
