Mike Hilton controlled the fight throughout by stepping in and out of the pocket almost at will with short combinations. Hernandez was game, but Hilton was just to fast for the thirty-five fight veteran. All three judges scored the bout 60-54 in favor of Mike “The Beast” Hilton.

Lyimo beat the count but Bunch but was in bad shape. Bunch jumped right on him with four unanswered shots, forcing the bout to be waived off at the thirty-five second mark of the opening round.

Undefeated light heavyweight Frederic “The French Revolution” Julan upped his record to 12-0, 10 KOs with a spectacular second round knockout of Fidel Munoz (39-22-1, 31 KOs).

Chris “Sandman” Thomas (15-1-1, 10 KOs) needed only a minute and thirteen seconds to blow away Engelberto Valenzuela (12-17, 3 KOs). Thomas was all over him right from the opening bell. A series of hooks collapsed Valenzuela in the corner. He rose to his feet at the eight count, but it would not matter as a straight one-two combination from the Sandman sent Valenzuela to the canvas for the second and final time.
