Baltimore, MD featherweight Gervonta "Rambo" Davis won by second-round TKO over the debuting Jacob Ninow of Wheaton, IL.  Davis d"ropped Ninow with a solid uppercut early in the second and a later flurry stopped the contest at 2:04.  Davis is 2-0, two KO's.

Frederick, MD middleweight Devar "The Warrior" Ferhadi won a tough, four-round unanimous decision over PJ Cajigas of Franklin Park, IL  Ferhadi made nice adjustments to his game plan against a very game opponent.  Ferhadi is now 3-0, two KO's.  Cajigas is 0-1-1.

Cruiserweight Mario Murphy of Capitol Heights, MD won a four-round majority decision over Damion Reed of Danville, VA.  Murphy showed solid defense throughout the contest.  Murphy is 2-0 while Reed is 2-11-1, one KO.

Alexandria, VA junior welterweight "The Baby-Face Assassin" Yurii Polishchuk made his pro debut a successful one with a first-round TKO over the equally-debuting Alexandria boxer Demetrius Winbush.  Polishchuk opened the bout with a flurry of punches that dropped Winbush and made the bout pretty easy, eventually stopping Winbush at 2:36 of the contest.
