In the background fight Carrasco (18-1-0, 10 KOs.) successfully raffled the second defense of the South American lightweight belt, after defeating the Brazilian super featherweight champion Eduardo Costa Do Nascimento (9-3-0, 5 KOs.) by technical decision.
The referee Hernan Guajardo He stopped the fight in the fifth round and ordered the scorecards after doctors evaluated an injury to the Brazilian’s left parietal as a result of an involuntary head butt in the first round.
The three judges saw the winner from Mendoza, who had sent his rival to the canvas at the start of the fight. Hector Miguel and Carlos Azzinaro scored 60-54 in their favor and Angel Gorreri scored 59-55.

The “Pacman” retained his Fedelatin title in the super middleweight division and also obtained the IBF Latino title that was vacant.
