Scoring 79-72, 79-72, 79-72 for Nieves
- Nieves warned for elbowing in the third by referee Steve Willis. Other than that, very clean bout.
- Despite the scoring, this was a hard fought highly competitive jab counter jab bout, fought in center ring, the co-main event of a nine bout card at Resorts World Casino at Aqueduct Raceway promoted by New Legend Boxing. Tejada appeared to win rounds three and four with crisp body shots to Nieves' side. When Nieves knocked down Tejada for a flash knockdown in round six, the win by Nieves on the cards was clear at that point.
- HBO commentator Harold Lederman, WBO Lightweight champion Amanda Serrano the BoxRec number one ranked female in that division, and former world champion Junior Jones were among those at ringside watching the area prospects card.
