- Visinia the come forward aggressor, clearly outworking the offensively tiring Bolden in rounds five and six to win the bout on the cards.
- Bolden was finally warned by referee Ricky Gonzalez in round 6 for holding Visinia behind the head after repeating the infraction all night.
- The main event of a seven bout card at PacPlex Sports Facility in Brooklyn, New York, promoted by Sal Musumeci's Final Forum Boxing.
- David Tua lookalike Samoan heavyweight prospect Natu Visinia went to 10-0 with a six round unanimous decision over game veteran Jon Bolden. The menacing Visinia, inactive for a year and overweight, came forward all night like Rocky Marciano, forcing Bolden, who was in fine condition but outmatched, to get on his bicycle as 'The Roadrunner', moving side to side, and run for his life ongoing. Bolden actually did a decent job using his jab in a stick and move strategy, the right way to fight Visinia. Bolden was unable, however, to hold Visinia as Visinia had a + 50 pound weight advantage. When Visinia landed when Bolden got caught on the ropes, his ability to hit with great power was understood. Bolden used a trick from the Muhammad Ali playbook, holding Visinia behind the head to tire him as he was just too big to clinch and hold.
- Boxing celebrities in attendance included Juan Laporte, Junior Jones, Derric Rossy, Boyd Melson, and Shemuel Pagan.
