IBF Inter-Continental Cruiserweight Champion and Olympic Bronze Medalist David ‘The Nice Guy’ Nyika stopped Tommy Karpency in three rounds.
In the main event, David ‘The Nice Guy’ Nyika (10-0, 9 KOs) stopped late replacement southpaw Tommy Kryptonite’ Karpency (31-9-1, 19 KOs) at 1:13 of the third round of the scheduled 12 rounds.
In the first round, the taller Nyika dominated with his jab. In the second round, Nyika drove Karpency to the ropes with a couple of rights to the chin. Karpency fought back well but Nyika had too much power for him to take down the smaller man with vicious body shots to the liver.
In the third round, left to the ribs from Nyika and down Karpency went for an 8 count from referee Danrex Tapassan.
At the halfway point, a right hook to the side of the head and down, Karpency went to the canvas for another 8-count as his corner threw in the towel. Karpency’s move from light heavyweight to heavyweight over the past three years was a mistake. Courage alone was not enough.
Heavyweight Uila ‘Wymondley Punch’ Mau’u (8-0, 7 KOs) defeated Joe ‘Game Over’ Ageli (3-3, 2 KOs) over four rounds.
In the first round it was all Mau’u, with Ageli landing the final punch, a right to the chin. In the second and third rounds, the taller Mau’u Ageli landed. In the fourth and final round, Ageli held on but not enough to win the round.
Judge Andrew Bell. The score 39-37, 39-37 and 39-38.

Light heavyweight southerner Genah Fabian (0-0-1) finished in a majority draw with Trish Faka (1-8-2) over four rounds.

Heavyweight Hemi ‘The Heat’ Ahio (23-1, 17 KOs) won by split decision over Faiga ‘Django Opelu’ Opelu (16-6-2, 12 KOs) over ten brutal rounds.
In the first four rounds, Opelu, coming off a stoppage loss in May, was the shorter of the two by inches. For the most part, he gave as much as he took from Ahio. In the fifth and sixth rounds, Ahio had Opelu against the ropes for most of the rounds.
In the seventh round, Opelu knocked out Ahio. In the tenth and final round, Ahio looked exhausted and switched to southpaw and back, knowing he had been in for a tough fight. The shorter Opelu had fought him on even terms for most of the second half of the fight. Ahio finished strong to take the round in a close fight.
The scores were 96-94, a strange 99-91, for Ahio and 96-94 for Opelu.

In the first round, Jackson landed body shots, dropping Beauchamp for an 8 count by referee John Conway. In the fourth round, Jackson Beauchamp bled from the mouth and was beaten. Beauchamp’s corner put an end to their game fighter.
