Undercard results from Las Vegas: Carlos Castro now 26-0

Carlos Castro TKO4 Cesar Juarez ... Phoenix 122-pounder Carlos Castro (26-0, 11 KOs) stopped Mexico's Cesar Juarez (25-9-1, 19 KOs) when Juarez's corner called off the one-sided bout following the conclusion of the fourth round. Juarez, who in 2015 lost a 122-pound title shot to Nonito Donaire, has now lost two fights in a row. “I admire Cesar Juarez as a Mexican warrior and for everything he’s given the sport. I told him it was an honor to share the ring with him," Castro said. “I want any title opportunity or an interim title shot. Whatever comes my way, I am ready. I am highly ranked and prepared for the next step.”
