35 minute match. Santo takes fall 1/3. Santo submits Gladiador to win, though Gladiador argues he didn't give up and the match is resumed. Santo again submits Gladiador to a double armbar and there was no doubt that time. Gladiador is Luis Ramirez Romero.

Event Notes: A history piece in Box y Lucha 1456 lists "20,000" fans. Box y Lucha 236A, at the time, calls it just over 15,000 fans. Box y Lucha also guesses payoffs based on the gate and percentage: King/Loatario 460 pesos, Pilusso/Mendoza 675, Tarzan/Shadow/Caverario/Mongol 1,600 pesos and Santo/Gladiador could not be making more than 2000.
