Roman Gonzalez retained the WBC Flyweight title with a comfortable unanimous decision over McWilliams Arroyo.
Arroyo started off being competitive, but Gonzalez picked up the pace as early as round two and dived up hit shots to the head and body. Arroyo was game but he was no match for the constant pressure of the undefeated champion.
