WBO female jr featherweight champion Amanda Serrano (33-1-1, 25 KOs) retained her title with a third round TKO over Edina Kiss (13-5, 5 KOs) on Friday night at the Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel & Casino in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Kiss went down one time in the second round.

In his first fight since an unsuccessful world title challenge in December 2015, jr lightweight Jonathan Oquendo (27-5, 17 KOs) scored a sixth round TKO over Orlando Rizo (19-11, 11 KOs). Oquendo won by TKO at :01 of round six when Rizo did not answer the bell for that round. Oquendo sent Rizo to the canvas in round five.

Two-time Puerto Rican Olympian jr featherweight Jeyvier Cintrón (2-0, 1 KO) won by TKO at 2:21 of the second round when the referee stopped the bout after Guillermo Dejeas (7-8-1, 2 KOs) went down.

Three-time Olympian and 2016 Gold medalist Robson Conceicao (4-0, 3 KOs) needed just 52 seconds to finish Bernardo Gómez (18-8, 11 KOs). Gomez was hit with a good punch and stayed on the floor.

The card was promoted by PR Best Boxing Promotions.
