In the later rounds Beltran took control and closed out the fight, landing more power punches. Scorecards read 78-74 twice, and 77-75 for Beltran, giving him the unanimous decision.
“I got the win against a very crafty veteran who has a lot of experience,” said Beltran. “I still have a lot to learn, and this was a great learning experience. It was a blessing to be fighting in my first main event, and I’ll be ready when my name is called for my next fight. I’m hoping to fight three more times by the end of the year.”
In the 6-round super featherweight co-main event, Eric Mondragon (10-1-1, 4 KOs) defeated Kevin Piedrahita (9-2, 8 KOs) by majority decision.

Scorecards read 58-56 (Piedrahita), 60-54 (Mondragon), and 57-57.
“I never had any doubt that I was going to come out victorious in this fight,” said Mondragon. “I thought I won every round and I know I hurt him a couple of times. This was a very tough fight, but I did what I had to do to win. I know with a few more wins I’ll be ready to fight for some type of title, hopefully by the end of the year.”
