On Saturday night, June 8, inside of the Home Depot Center in Carson, California, former junior welterweight champion Marcos Maidana (34-3, 31 KO’s) scored his biggest victory as a welterweight with a sixth round TKO over a very game Josesito Lopez (30-6, 18 KO’s) in a Showtime-televised affair.

The fight was full of momentum shifts, with Maidana being rocked in rounds three and four before turning the tide of the fight and scoring the stoppage to the crowd’s delight.

Following the contest, Maidana gave credit to his trainer Robert Garcia for giving him information in between rounds during the fight while also noting that a blow to his knee is what caused him to slow down in round three and four.

In other action, Cuba’s Erislandy Lara (18-1-2, 12 KO’s), captured a 10th round TKO over Alfredo Angulo (22-3, 18 KO’s) in a wild fight.

Lara was dropped hard in rounds four and nine but caught Angulo with a crisp shot in the 10th that forced him to turn away, with the fight being called off moments later.

There were rumors circulating after the contest that Angulo may have suffered a fractured orbital bone.

During the evening, photographers Chris Robinson and Naoki Fukuda were able to capture several candid images from the event.
