Cameron Allen, a 3-11 middleweight, scored an upset win over comebacking deaf boxing prospect Jimmy Lubash. Allen won the first round by applying effect pressure on Lubash and landing overhand rights. Lubash tried unsuccessfully to counter. In the second round, Allen lowered his punches somewhat, and became more of a straight puncher, which allowed him to land more than one punch at a time, and by putting his punches together was able to TKO Lubash midway through the second. Lubash was down for a count of eight in round 2. Lubash got up and continued fighting until he was stopped. The referee picked up the count at six trying to get Cameron Allen to the neutral corner. The referee counted seven and eight in front of Lubash's face so the deaf fighter could see where the count was.

Allen was landing every big punch he threw on Lubash (everything Allen threw to the head and body landed). The referee intervened and walked Lubash to his corner, putting a halt to the contest.
