Mario Macias’ first defense of his NABF title was a successful one as he stopped veteran Francisco Marquez at 2:49 of the 4th round before an enthusiastic crowd at the Deportiva de Trabajadores de Sindicato del Metro (Subway Workers Union Hall) in Mexico City. Report was that there was a lot of action in the early part of the fight but that the contest was stopped by referee Gabriel Peralta when Marquez was defenseless after being on the receiving end of several very hard punches to the face from the defending champion.
