Raymond Muratalla (19-0, 16 KOs) put the lightweight division on notice in tonight’s co-feature. The 26-year-old contender defended his regional lightweight titles with an eighth-round knockout over the previously unbeaten Mexican puncher Diego Torres (18-1, 17 KOs).
Muratalla took the center of the ring from the opening round. He worked off his front foot and stepped out of range to avoid any return fire. In the eighth, he landed a left hook that snapped Torres’ head and sent him to the canvas.
Torres rose to his feet, but he was deemed unable to continue by referee Celestino Ruiz at 1:45.
