On home turf at Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, Marcos Villasana Jr  edged previously undefeated Cuban Pablo Vicente, in a very close fight.

Marcos, who landed the harder of the punches and was able to use his long left jab to effect, yet not constantly, had trouble with The Cuban`s speed and growing confidence as the fight wore on.
Two Judges scored the bout 115 – 112 and 114 – 112 in favor of Villasana Jr., while another Judge differed with 114 – 113 in favor of the Cuban.
With this hard won victory from a very difficult fight, Villasana Jr. won the Latin Silver lightweight title, endorsed by the World Boxing Council.
