Contreras dominates Vargas for decision win
Miguel Contreras defeated Rolando Vargas in a solid battle of undefeated junior welterweights that had a quick tempo from the very beginning. After six rounds, all three judges had Contreras up by the scores of 58-56.
The shorter Contreras (11-0, 6 KOs) used his stature to his advantage for much of the night by getting inside and unleashing a two-fisted attack on the taller Vargas (5-1, 5 KOs), who was cut in the third round from a clash of heads. Vargas was consistently beat to the punch on the inside, and while he became more comfortable and started to land his long right hands, backing Contreras up, it wasn’t enough to stop the activity and consistency of Contreras.
Olguin outpoints Stewart
Helaman Olguin (8-3, 2 KOs) defeated Adam Stewart (8-1-1, 5 KOs) by majority decision after six relatively slow-paced rounds. Olguin won the heavyweight fight by the scores of 57-57 and 58-56 (twice),
There weren’t many clean punches landed by either fighter, but there was plenty of clinching between the two throughout this contest. The most damage incurred by either boxer was a cut underneath the right eye of Stewart after a clash of heads in the first round. If there was a punch that was effective, it was Olguin’s long, sweeping left. At the end, Olguin did just enough to get his hand raised in victory for the seventh consecutive time.
