In the co-feature, undefeated lightweight Bobby "The Bayou Bomber" Aucoin (15-0) captured the biggest win of his career as he scored 4th round KO over Travis Hartman (5-3-1). Hartman was in control of the bout and he had Aucoin backing down and looking confused. But with 1:40 left in the 4th round, Aucoin countered Hartman with a straight right hand. Hartman went down to one knee, and Aucoin hit Hartman four times while he was still on his knee, the blows put Hartman face down on the canvas. Referee Kenny Saintes then issued his count and Hartman was unable to get up. Saintes declared Aucoin the winner.
After the bout Fightnews spoke with the Hartman camp. Hartman said "I went to one knee because of the low blows, and then he hit me four times while I was down. How did the ref not see that? Everybody saw that". When asked about a rematch Hartman said "Absolutely".
Fightnews also spoke with referee Kenny Saintes. Both fighters were hitting low, I told both of them to keep their punches up. Hartman was hurt, he did not go down from a low blow. If he (Hartman) would have got up, I would have taken a point from Aucoin.
