Adams took out longtime friend Vito Gasparyan in round seven of their scheduled 8-round bout. Adams worked very well on the inside as he landed some solid shots to the head and landed to the body nicely. Gasparyan hung tough against his one-time sparring partner but the amount of solid punches began to show on Gasparyan and the bout was stopped 35 seconds into round seven with a badly swollen left ear.

Skorokhod was cut around his right eye in round two while Thompson suffered a cut in the same area in round four. Thompson did well when the fight was in the center of the ring. Skorokhod landed several flush punches but it wasn't enough as the judges preferred the boxing of Thompson to the tune of 78-74 and 77-75 while Skorokhod won a card 78-74. Thompson, 154 3/4 lbs of Newark, NJ is now 16-1. Skorokhod, 153 3/4 lbs of Los Angeles via Ukraine is now 9-1. "I had to box him as he was swinging wild. I outboxed him. He was just swinging and not throwing any straight shots," said Thompson. Donovan Dennis scored a highlight reel 2nd round stoppage over 6'7" Razvan Cojnau. Dennis landed a thudding straight left that landed flush on the chin of Cojanu and the big man fell flat on the canvas and the bout was stopped 59 seconds into round two. "I used my speed, quick feet and combinations," said Dennis. "I saw an opening in the first round and then in the second I came with an overhand left that landed right on the button and he crumbled to the canvas." The punch was so devastating that it was ESPN Sports Center top play of the night. On fighting Andrey Fedosov in the finals, "It is going to be a tough fight and I will have to work harder." Dennis, 224 1/4 lbs of Davenport, IA is now 12-1 with 10 knockouts. Cojanu, 255 1/2 lbs of Los Angeles via Romania is now 13-2.
