Rising prospect Omar "El Relámpago" Juárez (9-0, 4 KOs) earned a unanimous decision over Dakota Linger (12-4-2, 8 KOs) after eight rounds of super lightweight action.
"We knew that Linger would be a tough fighter, but we prepared for anything," said Juarez. "I stay active and I'm always ready. It felt really good to get the eight rounds in. I showed that I'm a smart fighter. In my first couple of fights when I was getting early knockouts, I felt like I wasn't really getting the work I needed.

As the fight wore on, Juarez's pace proved to be too much for Linger to keep up with, alternating between pot-shots and brawling to slowly break Linger down. Linge
