On Saturday in Los Angeles, and live on DAZN, undefeated Raul Curiel of Mexico made easy work of American Brad Solomon, stopping him in the second round of action.

A simple two shot combination dropped Solomon in the second. While he seemed able to rise, he opted to take a knee and remain there for the duration of the referee's coount at :44 of the frame.

Curiel improves to 12-0 with 10KOs with the latest stoppage victory.

In the co-featured bout of the evening, Diego De La Hoya dropped and ultimately earned a technical decision over journeyman Jose Gonzalez. In the earlier frames, an accidental clash of heads caused a cut over the right eye of Gonzalez. However, that was only one of his problems in this encounter.

With the win, De La Hoya improved to 24-1 as a professional with the win.
