In the main event of the evening in Glendale, Arizona, Jose Pedraza scored a unanimous decision over Ray Beltran and took away his WBO lightweight title. The scores were 117-110, 117-110 and 115-112. Thus, Pedraza will compete with WBA champion Vasyl Lomachenko in the unification battle on December 1 in the United States.

Pedraza looked much better at the beginning of the fight, superior to Beltran because of speed and accuracy of punches. However, by the sixth round due to the constant pressure of the opponent Pedraza slightly slowed down. However, after the ninth Pedraza again regained his advantage and in the eleventh was able to send Beltran to the canvas with sniper perfect left uppercut.
