WBC super featherweight champion Miguel Berchelt made easy work of number one contender Miguel “Micky” Roman in the main event of their ESPN+ bout from El Paso, Texas, promoted by Top Rank Inc. Berchelt was the more talented and skilled fighter and despite a valiant effort, Roman walked into far too many shots getting dropped twice in the sixth round, once badly to the body. Berchelt was most comparable to a sniper as he picked his shots perfectly.

Miguel Berchelt dropped Roman in the ninth round and minutes later the bout was stopped. This was a dominant title defense by Berchelt who hasn’t been the most active.

Three-time former world title challenger Miguel Marriaga (27-3, 23 KOs) scored a fourth round KO over Jose Estrella (20-15-1, 14 KOs) in a featherweight bout. Marriaga continues his legacy of being one of the best challengers to never win a world title as he dropped Estrella twice, once in third and finishing him in the fourth with a body shot.
