The Premiere Boxing Champions' event held at the Toyota Center in Houston showcased a title bout between Jermall Charlo and Juan Macias Montiel as they vied for the coveted WBC middleweight championship. However, preceding this main event, a ten-round contest featured two highly motivated fighters: super bantamweights Angelo Leo with a record of 25-1 and Aaron Alameda, also holding a 25-1 record.
Both Leo and Alameda had faced defeat in their previous bouts, making this showdown all the more crucial for their careers. At 27 years old, they were still in the prime of their boxing journey, underlining the significance of this match for both contenders.
The opening round set a brisk pace for the fight, and Alameda made a significant impact in the second round. Leo adopted an aggressive approach in the third, yet Alameda seemed to possess superior strength. Leo effectively managed the fight's range for most of the fourth round. Surprisingly, Leo began to display aggression in the fifth, leading to an intense exchange of blows by both fighters in the sixth.
In the seventh round, Leo once again pressed forward, and the eighth round provided an exciting, see-saw battle. Alameda showcased excellent combination punching in the ninth. The tenth and final round witnessed both fighters maintaining their energy and delivering precise punches. Ultimately, Angelo Leo secured a majority decision victory in an entertaining and intriguing bout, despite one judge scoring the fight too one-sided in Leo's favor, which led to displeasure from the crowd.
Moving on to the next fight, the popular veteran Francisco Vargas with a record of 27-2-2, who had twice challenged unsuccessfully for the WBC super featherweight title against Miguel Berchelt, faced off against the skilled 21-1-1 Isaac Cruz in a scheduled ten-round lightweight clash. Although Vargas enjoyed greater recognition, Cruz had not tasted defeat since his sixth professional bout, a record maintained over five years and fourteen fights. Vargas' previous victory came in November with a stoppage of Otto Gamez, while Cruz's most recent appearance in the ring was in March, where he secured a unanimous decision win against Jose Matias Romero.
