Braian Arguello TKO6 Neri Cruz... Junior lightweight Braian Arguello of Argentina scored a sixth-round technical knockout victory over Neri Cruz (19-2), bringing the contest to an emphatic conclusion halfway through the scheduled distance. Considering Arguello's record of 11-7, the result is a surprise. The bout was fought at a fast pace from the outset. Cruz attempted to establish control behind his reach and straight punches, but Argüello quickly seized the center of the ring and began targeting the body with heavy shots. That pressure paid dividends, and by the fourth round it was clear that Argüello’s speed and aggression were beginning to dismantle his opponent’s defense. The finish arrived in round six. Sensing that Cruz was fading, Argüello launched a sustained attack at close quarters. A powerful combination culminated with a crushing overhand right to the head that left Cruz badly hurt. Recognizing that Cruz was no longer capable of defending himself intelligently, the referee stepped in and waved off the contest.
