In an entertaining scrap, super middles Joe “Mean” Greene and Craig Robinson put on one of the best fights of the evening in the next bouts.

Greene wins the bout on a third round TKO.

Next was the slowest contest of the evening. Middleweights Pawel Wolak and Julio Jean engaged in a slow, boring fight but Wolok came out on top to remain undefeated. Wolok stops Jean on a fifth round TKO.

The headliner of the card was up next with Freddy Soto of the Bronx meeting Jaime Palma of Alexandria, VA. The short but sweet main event turned into a technical and systematic match before Soto of the red corner scored a knockdown in the first round.
