Parra dominated the fight, dropping Asloum in the 2nd and taking a unanimous decision. On 10 March 2007 he got another opportunity at a world title when he faced Omar Narváez for the WBO flyweight title, he would also lose again via a unanimous decision. On 8 December 2007 he defeated Juan Carlos Reveco to become the WBA Light Flyweight Champion. Asloum was inactive after the Reveco fight until his return to the ring 27 April 2009.
