Former super lightweight champion Regis Prograis (26-1, 21 KOs) won by six round technical decision over Ivan Redkach (23-6, 18 KOs).

The bout went to the scorecards where Prograis was up 60-54, 60-54, 59-54.
Former cruiserweight world champion Steve Cunningham (30-9-1, 13 KOs) scored a six round unanimous decision over UFC legend Frank Mir who was making his pro boxing debut. Scores were 60-54, 60-54, 58-56. Cunningham was in control the whole way but Mir was never in danger of being stopped.
