Gabriel Ruelas, fighting for the first time since he fatally injured Jimmy Garcia in the ring, was knocked out by 37-year-old Azumah Nelson in the fifth round of a World Boxing Council super featherweight title.

The title was the third for Nelson, a native of Ghana who had decisioned Ruelas in Mexico City two years ago.
