His eighteenth Victory came in Cozumel, Mexico going the distance with Tomas Sierra of Toluca. In 2009 he was not very busy due to a nasal operation but in October of that year he fought Salvador Carreon winning by T.K.O. in the third round.
He went on to headline his first Nationally televised fight card in April 2010 on Televisa. Where he won the WBC FECARBOX Light Welterweight Championship by defeating the veteran Colombian Henry Aurad (12-2-1, 9KO) by T.K.O. at 2:10 of the second round.
