Hyattsville, MD featherweight Cobia "The Soldier" Breedy won by sixth-round TKO over Titus Williams of Long Island, NY. This was the final bout of the evening at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York to close the Jermall Charlo vs. Dennis Hogan card.

The two men had a busy opening round. Breedy throwing the most punches with Williams being the more accurate of the two. Breedy shifted gears and took charge in the second-round to hurt Titus on a number of occasions. Williams bounced back in the third-round to land some good shots on Breedy to hurt him in the final minute of the round. Breedy gathered himself to box very well in the fourth-round having Williams to be more of a defensive fighter.

Williams turned things around when he sent Breedy to the canvas for an eight-count in round five. Breedy recovered and held on to complete the round. Breedy came back strong after recovering from the knockdown by dropping Williams late in the sixth-round and the bout was stopped by the referee at 2:16 of the round.

Richmond, VA middleweight "The Chosen One" Immanuwel Aleem (left) lost by ten-round majority decision to Ronald "Akeem" Ellis of Lynn, MA. The bout was aired live on the Showtime Boxing YouTube channel.

Aleem came out in the opening using his jab while moving around the ring to adjust to Ellis's reach advantage. Ellis closed the distance to finish the round by going toe to toe with Aleem. Ellis turned up the pace in the next couple of rounds by being the more active fighter while Aleem didn't add any offensive pressure to slow down Ellis. Aleem did a better job in the fifth-round as he stepped up his punch count to pressure Ellis. Ellis changed from using his jab to moving in close to start an inside battle with Aleem. Aleem tried to be more offensive-minded in the last three rounds of the bout by throwing more punches but wasn't able to land that fight-ending shot to get the knockout victory. One judge scored the contest a 95-95 draw but was overruled by the other two judges with the scores of 97-93, 98-92 for Ellis.

Aleem falls to (18-2-2, 11 KO's) while Ellis improves to (17-1-2, 11 KO's).
