Early on Cruz was landing tapping shots that had Carrasquillo gesturing and mocking Cruz in an attempt to discourage the young twenty-four year old.  Cruz was not discouraged as he systematically ramped up his attack and began to pound the body of Carrasquillo.

One would get the feeling that Carrasquillo was always in the fight because he seemed to be loading up for that one shot that may turn the tables.

Cruz would never let Carrasquillo get that opportunity has he continued that body assault and started mixing in quick combinations to the head.

In round six, Cruz landed some more hard body shots that hurt Carrasquillo.  Carrasquillo turned his back to Cruz and Cruz ran after him and landed a few more shots for which Carrasquillo pulled a “No Mas” and the fight was over at 1:09 of round six.

It was assumed that Carrasquillo had suffered some form of a rib injury from all the shots he took to his flank region.

Cruz, 146 lbs of Bethlehem, PA is now 13-0 with ten knockouts.  Carrasquillo, 146 ½ lbs of Lancaster, PA is now 15-18-1.

In one of the co-features, Bryne Green and Eilud Torres fought to an entertaining draw in a Lightweight bout.

Both guys had their moments with Torres rocking Green at the end of round three.  Green showed the superior speed but Torres showed a bit more diversity to his game.

Scores were 58-57 for Green; 58-56 for Torres and 57-57.

Torres, 134 lbs of nearby Allentown, PA is now 5-2-3.  Green, 132 ½ lbs of Vineland, NJ is now 6-4-1.

Rashad Brown was methodical in taking a six round unanimous decision over Omar Sims in a Super Middleweight fight.

Brown sent to Sims to the canvas with a big uppercut in round two and controlled the action with his size and coasted to the victory by scores of 60-53 on all cards.

Brown, 164 ¼ lbs of Philadelphia is now 5-0.  Sims, 166 lbs of Baltimore is now 5-4-3.

In a rematch of a draw that took place on May 21st, William Miranda took a close four round unanimous decision over Zeferino Albino in a Heavyweight bout

Scores were 40-36; 40-36 and 39-37 for Miranda, 222 lbs of Allentown, PA and is now 3-3-1.  Albino, 202 lbs of Philadelphia is now 4-13-3.
