Delgado and Torrez win on Phoenix undercard

Lindolfo Delgado TKO5 Jackson Marinez... On the Top Rank show in Phoenix on Saturday, Mexican junior welterweight Lindolfo Delgado (22-0, 16 KOs) stopped Dominican veteran Jackson Marinez (22-4, 10 KOs) in the fifth round. Delgado floored Marinez with a right uppercut in the fifth, and as soon as Marinez got to his feet, Delgado sensed the end was near. He belted Marinez with a right uppercut to the body that finished things off.
 
Richard Torrez Jr. TKO3 Issac Muñoz... U.S. Olympic silver medalist Richard Torrez Jr. (12-0, 11 KOs) stopped Issac Muñoz (18-2-1, 15 KOs) in three rounds in the heavyweight division. Torrez found his rhythm by the start of the third and began landing left hands at will, both to the head and the body. Consecutive lefts to the head eventually forced referee Raul Caiz Jr. to intervene as Muñoz endured a one-sided beating against the ropes. Muñoz, probably Mexico's top-rated heavyweight excluding Andy Ruiz, suffered his first stoppage defeat. 
 
ADDITIONAL RESULTS
 
Featherweight Albert “Chop Chop” Gonzalez (12-0, 7 KOs) secured an eight-round unanimous decision over Argentina’s Gerardo Antonio Perez (12-7-1, 3 KOs). Gonzalez cruised to victory by combining straight right hands, left hooks to the body, and evasive head movement. The judges scores were 80-72 (twice) and 79-73.
 
In the super flyweight category, southpaw Steven Navarro (5-0, 4 KOs) authored a second-round TKO against Gabriel Bernardi (7-2, 3 KOs). A Navarro right hook at the start of the second initiated the onslaught, followed by two knockdowns that forced referee Raul Caiz Jr. to stop the action at 2:29.
 
Welterweight Giovani Santillan (33-1, 18 KOs) rebounded from his first pro loss by dispatching Fredrick Lawson (30-6, 22 KOs) in one round. Aggressive from the opening bell, Santillan pinned Lawson against the ropes, landing several unanswered shots to end the round. Lawson retired on his stool following the end of the first.
 
Unbeaten Robert Garcia-trained welterweight Art Barrera Jr. (7-0, 5 KOs) earned a second-round TKO against Juan Carlos Campos Medina (4-2, 3 KOs). Barrera was relentless with hooks and right hands, battering Medina against the ropes and forcing referee Wes Melton to halt the contest at 2:58.
 
Last-minute replacement Kevin Mosquera (3-0, 1 KO) edged out Mexico's Cesar Morales (0-1) via majority decision. The two lightweights engaged in consistent back-and-forth action, with Mosquera scoring a crucial knockdown in the final round. Mosquera got the win by scores of 38-38, 39-36 and 38-37.
 
Las Vegas junior lightweight DJ Zamora (15-0, 10 KOs) registered a second-round knockout over Roman Ruben Reynoso (22-6-2, 10 KOs).
