In a battle of top heavyweight contenders Paul Cavalier (#2) wins a unanimous decision over Sinan Samil Sam (#3) in 12 rounds. Sam comes out in a trance and Cavalier lands accurate jabs and hooks in bunches in round 1. Round 2 is just great with Cavalier continuing to work the jab while Sam lands sweeping uppercuts from the outside. Each fighter is stung when they trade right hands in round 4, but Cavalier is more active in the round. Sam lands one of those longshot uppercuts again in round 5, and Cavalier almost goes down. Paul gets on his bicycle and Sam does some nice work in cutting off the ring to deliver some more damage. Cavalier stays outside in the 6th, and Sam looks a lot slower trying to chase him down. Cavalier counterpunches Sam to pieces in the 7th, and Sam looks totally gassed with no zing at all on his punches. Round 8 has action galore when Sam traps Cavalier in the corner and lands a right hand that would have knocked Paul down except for the ropes holding him up. Paul fires back doggedly as the crowd goes wild. Sam hurts Cavalier again, hammering him in the corner. Cavalier opens up in the 10th, and Sam fires back producing a round of the year candidate with Paul winning it solidly. The action slows way down in the final 2 rounds, and the unanimous decision goes to Paul Cavalier. Cavalier, who has only been knocked down by Earnie Shavers, is now 8-0-1 since his TKO loss to Cleveland Williams. In a very entertaining rematch, cruiserweight Carlos Cruzat (#2) wins a split decision over Miguel Cea (#5) in 10. Cea comes out landing crisp hooks to the head, but Cruzat tightens it up and punishes Cea in the 2nd, beating him to the punch over and over. Cea staggers Carlos early in round 3, triggering an all out slugfest at ring center. Both men land big and Cea is stunned at the end of the round by a big left hook. Cea stays more active in the 4th, but Cruzat has way more in the gas tank and he drops Cea for a 6 count with an uppercut in a clinch. Cea recovers to stun Cruzat with a tremendous body shot early in round 6. Cruzat staggers while Cea pumps uppercuts and one nicely place head butt, but Cea can't finish it. Cea stalks Cruzat in the 7th, and the action suddenly explodes in the last 30 seconds of the round when both men land pulverizing shots that stagger the other. The late rounds are all Cea and Cruzat looks like a zombie, shambling around the ring eating right hands. The scoring is an extremely close split decision in favor of Cruzat 94-95, 95-94 and 95-94. Middleweight Tommy Uren (#5) wins a unanimous decision over Ernie Vigh (#14) in 10 rounds. There is very light action early in this battle of counterpunchers, and the crowd lets them hear it. It picks up a bit in the 4th, when Vigh stuns Uren, only to have him fight back hard wobbling Ernie late in the round. Early in the 5th Uren counters a sloppy haymaker with a hard left hook that drops Ernie for a 7 count. Vigh suddenly comes alive to throw about 20 unanswered light punches in the final minute of round 5. Both men land hard shots in the 7th, but both are too tired to string anything together. Uren hurts Ernie with a borderling low blow in the 8th, and he follows up big on the grimacing Vigh. Uren presses his advantage in the final 2 rounds on the now very docile Vigh and Ernie swells on an eye. Uren takes the unanimous decision by a wide margin. Light heavyweight Frank Tate (#13) is very fortunate to score a cuts stoppage over Dan Creedon (#9) in 6 rounds, in a fight where Tate was being handed his head. This fight has an amazing start as Creedon stuns Tate seconds into round 1. Tate retreats into a corner and takes a shellacking until he comes back slugging in the final minute, only to have Creedon stagger him again at the bell to tumultuous applause. Creedon stuns Tate again in the 2nd with viscious hooks to the head, and Tate starts to get puffy on an eye at the end of the round. Creedon catches Tate again upstairs with a couple hard shots early in round 3, only to have Tate land a hook that cuts Creedon badly on an eyelid. Then Creedon lands a right hand to the top of the ducking Tate's head, flooring him for a 9 count toward the end of round 3. Tate barely beats the count, and Creedon goes after him, but Tate survives the round. Both fighters trade at ring center in round 4, but Creedon's powerful hooks continue to rattle Tate's noggin wobbling him a few times during the round. Tate fights back hard in the 5th, reopening the cut and finally forcing Creedon to take a couple backward steps. Tate mounts an offensive in the 6th, again reopening the cut and prompting a visit from the doctor who unbelievably stops the contest because of Creedon's cut.

EBC cruiserweight champion Sebastian Rothman (Chmp) successfully defends his crown winning a unanimous decision over Christophe Girard (#3) who takes a battering. Rothman stuns Girard with the very first lead right, but he gets a little excited and Girard counterpunches his way back into the round. Girard rabbit-punches Rothman early in the 2nd and it costs him a point. Girard boxes well in the 3rd and 4th, but Rothman seems to land one flush power shot per round to make the rounds close. Girard stuns Rothman with a shot that cuts Sebastian in the 5th. Rothman starts to break down Girard's defense by round 7, and the Frenchman starts eating hard shots on the inside. Rothman has him on the run in the 8th, and Girard is purely in survival mode now. Rothman decks Christophe with a right hand for a 6 count in the 9th, and again a flash knockdown as the round ends. Rothman is cut on the mouth in round 11, but he again drops Girard late in the round for a 5 count. Rothman scores another knockdown with a leaping right hand in the 12th, but Girard bravely rises at 5 with a badly swollen eye. The action slows and Rothman coasts to the unanimous decision victory. Middleweight Enzo Fiermonte comes from behind to win a split decision victory over Gene Armstrong in 12 rounds. Armstrong is the busier fighter early, and Fiermonte can't solve Armstrongs footwork and hand speed. The action heats up in round 5 when both men get offensive minded, pumping up the crowd. In round 8 Fiermonte traps Armstrong in a corner to lay some heavy leather on Gene who can't escape the corner until the round ends. Fiermonte continues to have success against the suddenly slow foot Armstrong in the 10th, and the scoring tightens up. Fiermonte starts to raise a swelling on Armstrong's eye from the steady diet of jabs in the 11th. Fiermonte takes the final round to wrap up the split decision win 114-115, 116-112 and 115-114. Light heavyweight Gerhard Hecht (#12) is handed a victory when Philadelphia Jack O'Brien (#8) is disqualified for a blatant low blow in round 9 of their fight. O'Brien dominates the early action with fast accurate hands, while Hecht waits for a counter that never happens. Hecht lands some nice shots on the inside between clinches in round 4. The action moves outside for a few rounds where O'Brien comfortably pecks away with quick and light punches that put him way up in the scoring by the middle rounds. In round 9 Jack lands a huge low blow that puts Hecht down in agony. The referee immediately disqualifies O'Brien and Hecht is declared the winner. In a light heavyweight rematch, Nicky Piper rebounds from a knockdown to win a close split decision over Willie Featherstone in 10 rounds. Piper stuns Willie with a right hand immediately and he has his way until Featherstone lands a big uppercut late in the 1st. Each man lands hard shots over the next couple of rounds with Piper being a bit busier. The action goes inside in round 5 and Featherstone lands his uppercut repeatedly. Round 6 is hard fought with Piper scoring with a big right hand at the end of the round. Featherstone is very effective in the 7th, working the inside and landing some more hard uppercuts. Piper fights back hard in the final 30 seconds of the 7th and the crowd comes alive. Featherstone drops Piper with an uppercut for a 6 count early in round 8. Piper carefully counterpunches until the end of the round, but he has a swelling under an eye as he walks back to his corner. Featherstone catches a rest in the 9th, and Piper solidly outworks him. Both men are exhausted in the final round and the final scoring is very close and split 96-94, 96-94 and 94-96 for Nicky Piper who takes his second straight victory over Willie.

In the main event of a very exciting card, heavyweight Gerald "Tuffy" Griffiths (#8) wins a split decision over Al Ettore (#11) in 12 engaging rounds. The fight is a shootout from the opening bell, and Ettore does the better work in round 1 including a thudding right hand that catches Griffiths on an eye causing a major swelling almost immediately. Ettore tees off from the outside in round 2, and Griffith mostly blinks and staggers around from the snapping jabs of Ettore. Griffiths makes an adjustment to start landing everything he throws in round 3, and Ettore backpedals staggering. Round 4 is a beaut when both men go inside landing some hard shots through the tangle of arms. The even more swollen Griffiths stays inside to stagger Ettore with a hard uppercut in the 5th, and Al is in big trouble at the end of the round. Al mostly covers up in the 6th, so Griffiths wins the round with his aggressiveness. Ettore finally hurts Griffiths in round 7 with a straight right hand, and he follows up big upstairs benefitting from Griffith's half-blind condition. Ettore is punched out and Griffiths does all the punching in the 8th. The late rounds have very little action with both fighters tiring, but Griffiths stays busier with the harder punches and he cuts Ettore badly near an eye in round 11. The final decision is razor close and split 115-113, 115-113 and 113-115 for Gerald "Tuffy" Griffiths. Top ranking super middleweight Antwun Echols (#1) has an easy time of winning a unanimous decision over Darryl Salmon (#4) in 10 rounds. Echols dominates from the outset, accurately landing hard shots to impose his will on the slick boxing Salmon. Salmon boxes nicely in the 2nd, probing with the jab, but Echols finds Darryl's chin with the right hand late in the round. Echols comes inside in the 4th, scoring with a hard shot off of the crouching Salmon's ear. Salmon wilts after the 5th, and Echols goes to work, staggering Salmon with some nice body shots. Salmon trades with Echols in the 7th, but he doesn't have the firepower to back up Antwun, who drops Darryl with an uppercut for a 3 count late in the round. Echols continues to target the head to great effect with his devastating right hand in round 8, and Salmon looks finished. Salmon amazingly finds a spurt of energy and lands a pile of quick combinations in round 9, backing Echols off. Echols benefits from the breather because he wings power punches the entire 3 minutes of round 10, flooring Salmon for a 5 count, and hammering him unmercifully until the final bell, perhaps 2 more hard punches from a stoppage. Echols takes the unanimous decision by a wide margin. Middleweight Tiger Flowers (#8) outboxes Freddie Apostoli (#7) over 10 rounds winning a unanimous decision. The early action is sparse with Apostoli landing a couple flush left hook counters. Flowers shows some great counterpunching in round 3, and Apostoli has trouble cutting off the ring on the slippery Georgian. Apostoli lands the occasional flush shot, but mostly he eats Flowers' precise counters in the middle rounds raising a swelling on Freddie's cheekbone. Flowers slows in the 7th and Apostoli has a decent rally to take the round. Apostoli goes all out in the 8th, and Flowers is staggered while covering up in the corner, and at the end of the round Tiger also sports a closing eye. Flowers recovers to resume his mastery in the 9th, and Apostoli looks discouraged trudging to his corner half-blind after the round. Freddie goes all out again in the final round, but Flowers lands nasty counters in bunches to take the round and punctuate the unanimous decision 97-93, 97-93 and 96-94 all for the Georgia Deacon. Heavyweight Hans Kalbfell (#22) thoroughly defeats tough South African Johnny DuPlooy (#19) with a unanimous decision in 10 rounds. After trading head feints for the first minute, Kalbfell lands a huge right hand that drop Johnny for a 6 count. DuPlooy is in bad shape and Kalbfell punishes him, dropping him for a 9 count with 30 seconds left in the round. Kalbfell is methodically working in round 2 when DuPlooy lands a big bodyshot and an uppercut that turns the momentum Johnny's way. DuPlooy solidly wins round 3 with an aggressive attack, but Kalbfell stuns him in the 4th with a left hook counter. Kalbfell opens up, but in the final 20 seconds of the round DuPlooy lands a huge punch that staggers Kalbfell, who throws back a 3 punch combination that rocks Johnny, who blasts an uppercut that has Kalbfell stagger to the ropes at the bell. The crowd is on it's feet after that unbelievable exchange. In round 5, DuPlooy tires and Kalbfell throws the right with impunity until DuPlooy goes down for a 3 count with a minute left in the round. Kalbfell just works him on the ropes until the end of round 5. DuPlooy bounces back in the 6th, scoring well with hard right hands, though Johnny suffers a cut near an eye in one exchange. Kalbfell drops Johnny again with uppercut in round 7, but Johnny rises at 7. Kalbfell lands well to the body in the follow up, but Johnny again responds, wobbling Hans with a couple flush right hands early in the 8th which triggers a toe-to-toe exchange that sees each fighter nearly knocked down. The pace slows a bit in the final 2 rounds, but the action is still thick with DuPlooy wobbling Hans in the final 20 seconds but falling short in the one sided scoring which favors Kalbfell.
