Top junior flyweight contender Pedro Guevara survived a knockdown and a major scare to edge out journeyman Armando Torres in the evening's chief support.
Guevara is in the running to land a title shot against newly crowned champ Naoya Inoue, who won the 108 lb. title just four days shy of his 21st birthday. He nearly blew it against Torres, a 16-year ring veteran who has long ago seen better days.
As unflattering as an 8-round split decision win appears on his record, it's enough to preserve Guevara's pending title shot, which he hopes to land later this year.
