Cedric Agnew versus Yusaf Mack USBA Light Heavyweight Title
Chicago's Cedric Agnew, now 25-0, won Mack's USBA title as he appeared to win every round of the twelve rounder with blinding hand speed and a solid defense which block Mack's attempts to hit him all night. Mack showed nothing in this bout or in his previous title fight knockout loss at 168 pounds against Carl Froch, only this bout went the distance. Agnew, by winning this step up bout, proved he is worthy of better opposition. One scorecard of 115-113 was way off the mark. The 120-108 and 118-110 scorecards were closer to correct. The fading USBA champion Yusaf Mack had beaten Chris Henry, Otis Griffin and Omar Sheika but also lost to Glen Johnson, Tavoris Cloud, Librado Andrade and Alejandro Berrio.
