Jose Benavidez, 17 year old, (2-0) scored a TKO at the 1:07 mark of the 1st round when his opponent John Vega (0-2) quit while being engulfed by a flurry of punches.

Undefeated middleweight prospect Matt Korobov came out of his corner with bad intentions, blitzing Lamar Harris with a two fisted attack until referee Robert Byrd halted the bout at 1:05 of the first round. St. Louis native Harris (6-5-3,4KO) was immediately forced to the ropes and couldn't land the counter-punch he was looking for to hold off the former Russian Olympian Korobov (10-0,8KO), who got the first round knockout that he was clearly looking for.

Top Rank prospect, Diego Magdaleno, remained undefeated with an (80-72,78-74,79-73) unanimous decision victory over Italy's Floriana Pagliara in an eight round Super Featherweight bout.
