rocked the tough Gonzalez several times throughout the bout,
sending him to the canvas once in the third round and then again
in the fifth round. Scheduled for 10-rounds, the bout went to
the judges’ scorecards at the eighth-round after an accidental
head-butt prevented Gonzalez from continuing due to a laceration
over the eye.

scheduled six-rounder, Silva rocking Campa in round two by
catching him on the ropes with a flurry of punches.

behind the head that resulted in a cut over Gonzalez’s right
eye. The judges unanimously scored the bout in favor of Gonzalez
