"2006- Manny Pacquiao KO 3 Erik Morales, Las Vegas."

Pacquiao retained the WBC International Super Featherweight Title.

This was the third fight between Morales and Pacquiao. On March 19, 2005, Morales won the first by unanimous decision, winning by three 115-113 scores. Pacquiao evened the series on January 21, 2006 by stopping Morales in the tenth round.


"2006- Omar Nino (Omar Nino Romero) D 12 Brian Viloria, Las Vegas. Retains WBC Light Flyweight Title. Judges scoring: Dave Moretti 115-112, Carol Castellano 113-113, Samuel Conde 113-113. Nino was ruled down in the 5th when his glove touched the canvas and was knocked down in the 9th."

The Nevada State Athletic Commission later changed the result of the fight to a "No Decision" because Nino failed his post-fight urine test, testing positive for methamphetamine. On February 7, 2007, the WBC stripped its light flyweight title from Nino and sanctioned a bout between Viloria and Edgar Sosa for the vacant championship. The Viloria-Sosa bout was held on April 14, 2007 and Sosa won by unanimous decision to become Nino's successor.
