Albuquerque’s hometown hero Johnny Tapia captured a majority decision over late sub Elvaristo Primero, who was Tapia’s fourth opponent change of the day. Tapia was originally to fight Illido Julio who failed his physical at the weigh-ins, Alberto Cepeda was the next opponent picked but was unable to make it in time from Mexico, Tapia was then offered Paulino Villalobos, who was rejected by the Tapia camp, thus bringing us Elvaristo Primero, who was set to fight an exhibition with his stablemate Caesar Lopez.
There was a lot of confusion on press row, as we all wondered how the fight was a go when Tapia weighed in at 126 on Thursday, while Primero weight 117, but with the crazy world of boxing, the fight went on. [details]
