In a shocker, Matt Cameron (3-1-1) scored two knockdowns and won a four round unanimous decision over highly regarded heavyweight prospect Nkosi Solomon (0-1), who was making his pro debut. All three judges scored it 39-33.

After dominating most of the first round, Cameron stung Solomon with a big shot in the closing seconds. In the second, Cameron was really taking the fight to Solomon and landing solid punches as they were brawling.

In the third round, Cameron dropped Solomon with a big counter hook. Solomon made it to his feet, but he was taking damage and not throwing much back in return.

At the start of the fourth, two lefts handed on Solomon. He lost a point for holding too much and moments later Cameron dropped him for a second time. Solomon made it up again, and Cameron began battering him with punches - nearly stopping him with combinations against the ropes. And Solomon lost a second point for holding too much.

Yes that was a spectacular upset. Cameron destroyed the most highly touted amateur superheavyweight in the US making his pro debut.

Middleweight Nikita Ababiy (1-0, 1 KO) made his pro debut with a crushing first round knockout of Jake Henriksen (2-3). A series of shots to the body sent Henriksen down for the full count.

Nikita "White Chocolate" Ababiy looked spectacular. All of his punches were thrown with tremendous force. The fight only lasted 28 seconds.

vargas-dulorme was a very competitive fight, dulorme dropped vargas in the 12th with a right very similar to how vargas dropped him. i tuned out a bit so not sure on my exact scoring. id think vargas will get a decision (i think hes the promotional 'home' fighter isnt he?)

At least Dulorme got a draw.

Fat Dan had it a draw.

i leaned a bit to dulorme but my attention drifted near the end, it seemed in range where it could be a draw though.
