Humberto "Zorrita" Soto (45-7-2, 28 KOs) won the WBC interim super featherweight championship with a tenth round TKO over Gamaliel "Platano" Díaz (23-8-2, 10 KOs) on Saturday night at the Coliseo Centenario in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico. Soto dropped Diaz in round one and after Diaz was deducted two points for continuous holding by referee Lawrence Cole in round ten Diaz' corner decided not to send him out for round eleven, much to the disappointment of the crowd. This was for the same belt Soto failed to when when he was DQ'd against Francisco Lorenzo in June. The WBC refused to recognize Lorenzo and this time Soto was victorious.
