A couple of other notes about the Ocean City card:

Many folks performed double duty during this card. Most notably, ring announcer "The Auctioneer" Brad Dudley, who displayed his auctioneering skills throughout the card, performing a live auction of sports memorabilia between bouts. There was also a silent auction during the card.

Also, ring card girl Athena Passos should be mentioned. First, she was the only ring card girl that showed up for the show. Then, she wowed the crowd with a wonderful rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner prior to the main event bout.

Also, this card brought former Maryland State Athletic Commission referee and judge Bill Holmes back into action. Holmes, who retired from the MSAC last year, worked as a judge for most of the pro bouts. Also, long-time commissioner Ben Alperstein was in attendance at ringside.
