Omar Trinidad settles for draw at Fight Night

Omar Trinidad fought to a 10-round draw late Saturday night in a featherweight bout for a regional WBC belt at Chumash Casino in Santa Ynez, California.

Trinidad (19-0-2, 13 KOs), of Los Angeles, battled Venezuela's Lorenzo Parra (23-1-1, 17 KOs) in a matchup scored 95-95 twice. The other judge sided with Trinidad 96-94.

Also on the card, staged by Tom Loeffler's 360 Promotions:

Mizuki Hiruta (9-0, 2 KOs), in search of a bigger platform training in the U.S., shined in her fifth defense of her WBO super flyweight title against Mexican Naomy Cardenas Gomez, (9-1, 2 KOs) and scored a wide unanimous decision 100-90 twice and 98-92. Hiruta, a southpaw trained by Manny Robles, landed at will and eased to victory.
Abel Mejia (9-0, 5 KOs), 22-year-old junior lightweight, stopped former world title challenger Aston Palicte, (28-9-1, 23 KOs) in the second round. The Filipino dropped Mejia in the opening stanza only to be overwhelmed with punches in the next frame leading to the stoppage.
