With the win Suleymanov kept his record clean at 10-0-0, 4KO, while Garcia dropped to 14-14-3, 1KO.

Then came a fight between two cruiserweights which was listed as a 6 rounder. However, the Commissioner in charged declared it a four rounder which surprised both fighters.

Deon Elam (11-1-0, 5KO) of Los Angeles, CA won the abbreviated fight with a unanimous decision over Andre Hemphill (8-15-2, 5KO) of Philadelphia, PA. Elam dropped Hemphil at the final seconds of round four. The scores were 40-35,40-35 and 39-36.

In the main event, Enrique Ornelas (30-6-0,20KO) from nearby La Habra, CA really shined but it took him four rounds to make up for his loss last year to Bernard Hopkins.

Ornelas KO?d Julius Fogle (15-4-0, 10KO at 1:12 of round four. Ornelas scored the KO with a picture perfect left hook that sent Fogle diving to the canvas where referee Jerry Cantu counted him out.
