The fight was stopped in the ninth round by a ringside physician due to a cut above Dutchover’s eye that was caused by a punch.

Benitez (14-4-1, 10 KOs) fought to a split decision draw against Francisco Lopez Corrales in his last bout on December 8. In his previous fight, on February 21 of last year, Benitez lost by unanimous decision to George Acosta.

Stubbs (6-1, 2 KOs), who weighed 155.8 pounds, last fought Fred Wilson, Jr. on July 9.
