The keenly contested bout between Lin Jiacheng and Xie Zhiquan ended in a unanimous draw. Judges Samson Iu, Salven Lagumbay and Yu Bin all had it 38-38.

Alimu Tuerson beat Maimaiti Keyimu by unanimous verdict. Referee Han Hongxian deducted a point from Maimaiti in the last round for repeatedly spitting out his mouthpiece. The scorecards read ?

In the final bout of the night, a hard clash of heads in the opening round resulted in a no contest between junior middleweights Su Cheng and Wulamu Tulake. Wulamu was face first on the canvas after being knocked down by the headbutt. He stood up on on very unsteady legs and was a bit confused. He also complained of pain on the side of his head and was assessed to have a concussion which resulted in the fight being immediately stopped by referee Danrex Tapdasan.

The second batch of LEAGUE OF FIST boxers will clash Saturday September 5, still at the same venue.
