• Bujaj wins the vacant New York State Cruiserweight title.

• First professional boxing card in 20 years in New York City conducted without the presence of the highly respected NYSAC Chief Inspector Felix Figueroa (1952-2014), who suddenly took ill and died of a heart attack in the hospital during emergency surgery on February 14, 2014.

• In the main event at the Millenium Theatre in Brighton Beach Brooklyn, Sanchez took a risky approach in the first round from the opening bell, as he came forward and tried to slug it out with the hard hitting Bujaj, who soon dropped Sanchez with power shots to the head. Sanchez beat the count, but was getting hit with more power shots to the heat and staggering around the ring with a bloody nose and his legs were gone. After Bujaj gave a suddenly defenseless and not moving Sanchez a senseless pummeling on the ropes, the referee wisely stopped contest.
