In a sterling performance, Edwin Valero of Venezuela improved to 27-0 with 27 knockouts and retained the World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight title with a dominant ninth-round TKO over WBC interim titleholder Antonio DeMarco (23-2-1, 17 KOs) of Tijuana, Mex., Saturday in the main event on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on SHOWTIME®. The event at Arena Monterrey, promoted by Gary Shaw Productions, LLC, was the first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast to emanate from Mexico in nearly 12 years and the first in Monterrey in more than 15.

Super featherweight Jorge “Coloradito” Solis (38-2-2, 28 KOs) claimed the WBA interim world title with a seventh round KO over reigning champion Likar Ramos (21-3, 15 KOs) on Saturday night in Mérida, Yucatán. Solis recovered from a third round knockdown to floor Ramos in the sixth and finish him with a body shot just as the bell rang to end the seventh.

Daiki Kameda won a 12 round unanimous decision to captured the WBA Flyweight title against Denkaosen Kaovichit at the World Hall Memorial, Kobe, Japan.

Don't sleep on this weekend's title fight taking place in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico, between interim WBA super featherweight champion Likar Ramos (21-2, 15KOs) of Colombia and Jorge "Coloradito" Solis (37-2-2, 27KOs) of Mexico. The 30 year-old Solis, brother of former IBF light flyweight titlist Ulises Solis, lost his last fight against Cristobal Cruz for the IBF featherweight title last July. His first loss came to Manny Pacquiao in 2007 losing by KO in the 8th-round. The 24 year-old Ramos won his interim title last November in a 12-round UD over Alex Granados. Ramos also represented Colombia in the 2004 Athens Olympics. While this matchup looks to be a good one, on a side note, the WBA truly needs to stop handing out titles left and right. The regular champion is Takashi Uchiyama who recently won the title by KO over Mexican Juan Carlos Salgado.

The World Boxing Association will review Saturday night’s controversial light heavyweight title fight between Beibut Shumenov and Gabriel Campillo in Las Vegas. Shumenov won a widely criticized split decision with Nevada Athletic Commission-appointed judges Patrician Jarman 117-111 and Jerry Roth 115-113 scoring in favor of the Shumenov, overruling WBA judge Levi Martínez, who had Campillo ahead 117-111.
