Cornelius Whitlock versus Shakur Jackson Welterweight Bout
- Whitlock failed the postfight drug test, result later reversed to 'No-Contest' by the NYSAC.
- No-Contest prelim bout summary: former Maryland Golden Gloves amateur champion Cornelius Whitlock started slow, but found a place for his overhand left power punch several times against a much taller Shakur Jackson to score an impressive come from behind third round knockout. Found on the undercard of the Greg Cohen Promotions annual Staten Island Hilton Boxing card. In his first win, the shorter Jackson's unique cross arm defensive stance and fighting style appeared similar to Hall of Fame Welterweight champion Carlos Palomino.
