New York City cruiserweight Stivens "Superman" Bujaj won an eight-round unanimous decision over Luther "Lights Out" Smith of Bowie, MD in the main event of a Jeter Promotions card held in front of a packed house at Live! Casino in Hanover, MD.
The first two rounds saw both men feel each other out and trade jabs and hooks evenly. By the fourth round, however, Bujaj started to take control as Smith's output began to decrease.

Referee Brent Bovell immediately called the bout off at 2:10 of the second.

After taking a nine-count, Jawara would recover and finish the round with a flurry. Jawara would regain the advantage in the second half of the bout as he went back to his strong offensive output to win the bout. Judges Dave Braslow and Eric Irizarry scored the bout 58-55 while Bill Clancy saw the bout 57-56. Jawara, who completed six rounds for the first time after just two previous bouts, is now 2-1, one KO. Johns, who had not fought since March of 2017, is now 7-2-2, six KO's.
Suitland, MD super featherweight "The Ambitious One" Malik Loften won a dominant four-round unanimous decision over Carlos "Talented" Marrero of Bridgeport, CT.

However, Loften did more than enough to easily win the bout. All three judges (Brent Bovell, Bill Clancy, and Eric Irizarry) scored a shutout (40-36) for Loften, whose record rises to 3-1, one KO. Marrero's record falls to 1-3-1.
Super middleweight AJ "We Are" Williams of Cockeysville, MD won a four-round unanimous decision over Brock Willis of Clarksburg, WVA. Williams was the taller of the two boxers and he used his height very well as his long jab would successfully keep Willis at bay. Williams was able to win the bout with solid lefts and rights to Willis's head and body. Williams would win by shutout across the board. Williams is now 2-1, one KO while Willis is 1-4, one KO.
Elkridge, MD lightweight "The Red Comet" Dante Cox scored a TKO when his opponent, Hakim Smith of Philadelphia, PA could not come out for the third round. Cox, competing in front of his fans as well as his Live! Casino co-workers was very effective in the first and second rounds as he landed great punches to the head and body. In the second round, Cox increased his offensive output and battered Smith with uppercuts and right hands to the face and body. At the end of the second round, the Smith corner decided not to send their boxer out for the third. Cox is now 4-1, three KO's while Smith is 1-3-1.
Cockeysville, MD lightweight Brandon "Brody" Chambers won by TKO over Fred "Lightning and Thunder" Thornton of Shelby, NC at 1:16 of the second round.

Chambers wins his first pro bout and he is now 1-0-1, one KO. Thornton is 0-2.
In the opening bout, Philadelphia, PA welterweight Corey "The Thoroughbred" Weekley spoiled the pro debut of Champ "Preacherman" Moultrie of Ellicott City, MD by knocking him out in the third round.

Weekley would drop Moultrie with a strong right hand, causing referee Brent Bovell to stop the bout at 2:29 of the third. Weekley wins his first bout and he is 1-2, one KO.
