Sismundo (L) attacks Felix Jr.
In the Top Rank promoted event at the Marriott Convention Center in Burbank, California Saturday night televised on Unimas TV, Jose Felix Jr (33-1-1 25KO) of Los Mochis, Mexico beat Ricky Sismundo (30-9-2, 13KO) of the Philippines via split decision with scores of 95-94, 94-95, and 96-93. It could have been a draw if not for the point deduction on Sismundo for a "late" punch at the end of round 6. The deduction should not have been done given the punch was a continuation of a punch that came as the same time as the bell.
