LAS VEGAS--Hector Beltran and Ernest Johnson figured in a split draw in the first bout of "The World Awaits" card.
A big upset took place in the second bout, as Mexican Christian Solano stopped previously unbeaten John O'Donnell in the second round.
John Murray stopped Lorenzo Bethea in the seventh round.
Australia's Billy Dib was declared winner by unanimous decision over Jose Gonzalez in a highly unpopular decision.
AJ 'Banal' was tested by a truly tough Mexican, but found a way to still come out the victor using his skills with a unanimous decision over Juan Albert Rosas by scores of 78-73, 78-73 and 76-75.
Bautista vs. Medina up next...
