Mirco Cuello W10 Rudy Garcia ...Mirco Cuello defeated Rudy Garcia by wide unanimous decision in a featherweight bout on Friday night.  The Argentinian returned to the United States and gave a great performance to win the decision on three 99-90 scorecards. Despite the wide decision, Cuello did not have an easy night in San Antonio, Texas and Garcia represented a real test for him. Garcia was an opponent who moved a lot, counterattacked well and managed to evade the attack of the Argentinean.  Cuello had to figure Garcia out and deal with a slightly swollen eye from the start but gradually found his way with his powerful left and body shots. Cuello (13-0) scored a knockdown with a nice jab to the abdomen in the middle part of the fight. Garcia falls to 15-1.

Although his opponent got up, it was only seconds before Cardenas connected again with the same punch and this time the referee did not make the count. The 27-year-old Cardenas is now 23-1 with 12 KOs. Pedroza, meanwhile, left with his record at 15 wins, 1 loss and 11 knockouts.
