Welterweight Samuel Vargas remained perfect, moving to 2-0 with a six round decision over Pascal Leonard, sweeping the scorecards with a 60-52, 60-54, 60-54 decision. The Toronto fighter rode a powerful right hand to the body in the early rounds and was able to dominate his Quebec counterpart throughout. It was the first time past four rounds for either fighter and Vargas who had scored an early knockout in his only other bout remained strong throughout. A badly fatigued Leonard battled a cut over his left eye was able to hang on for the final round, doing his best to time his opponent with his right hand, but with little success. Leonard who had been idle for the past eighteen months falls even to 2-2.
