Williams was in control of the fight as he landed some solid body shots that he followed up by flurries to the head. Campillo had some decent moments and cut Williams with a jab in round four. Campillo also was bleeding from his nose. Willimas own corner actually called the doctor in to look at the eye and the fight was stopped.
Campillo is now 24-6-1 with 11 knockouts. Williams is now 17-1.

In a six round war, Immanuwel Aleem scored a 6th round stoppage over Juan Carlos Rojas in a Middleweight bout.
Early on it looked like it would be easy for Aleem as he buckled Rojas badly in the first from an overhand right. Rojas came back to grind out a rough fight as he stood on the inside and gave as good as he received. The two continued to trade punches which was much to the delight of the fans. Rojas was docked a point after round three for unsportsmanlike actions. The fight was nip and tuck with both guys landing heavy leather and the fight was in the balance until the final seconds when Aleem landed a booming right that stunned and bucked Rojas until the referee stopped the fight at 2:45 of the final round.
Aleem, 162.6 lbs is now 10-0 with six knockouts. Rojas, 162 lbs of Mexico is now 5-7-1.
