  Torreon, Mexico (Sports Network) - Humberto Soto captured the vacant WBC super featherweight title with a 10th-round technical knockout over Gamaliel Diaz.

  Soto (45-7-2, 29 KOs) failed at a try for the WBO 130-pound title in 2007, but he floored Diaz (23-8-2) in the first round. Two points were taken away from Diaz for holding, and after the 10th round Diaz's trainers decided not to send out their fighter for round 11.
