In the first round, Munguia had a slight edge with both punches after the bell, so referee Juan Jose Ramirez had to step in and stop it.
In the second round, after one minute, Munguia landed a left hook to the chin and went to Surace for the first time in his career due to the 8-count from Referee Ramirez. He managed to reach the bell. In the third round, Munguia had Surace on the defensive around the perimeter, especially against the ropes, and had a chance to survive the bell.
In the fourth quarter, it was all about Munguia. With half a minute left, Surace landed his best punch of the fight, a right to the chin that rocked Munguia. In the sixth round Munguia had Surace against the ropes several times but was unable to land enough punches to finish Surace.
Munguia landed a left to the chin in the sixth round, keeping Surace on the ropes. Surace countered with a right to the chin, and Mulunguia landed on his back, not winning the count at 9, but referee Ramirez saw enough and wisely stopped it. It took ten minutes for Ring Announcer Jimmy Lennon, Jr. announce a suspension for more than ten minutes.
