It was a tremendous battle, one of the most exciting fights of the year – Burgos rallied in the last four rounds and finished the fight strongly, but came up short in the scoring and lost by 12 round decision.
Archuleta, 35 years old, is a 14-year professional veteran. A former WBC Latin American and North American Boxing Association featherweight champion, he has won two fights in a row.
