- Televised ten round main event bout on Al Haymon's Premier Boxing Champions. Fought in De Alba's home area in front of many De Alba fans who cheered him on for all ten rounds. World class level bout.
- Bout was fought in center ring in a telephone booth for all ten rounds, with five time Pennsylvania Golden Gloves champion slightly outworking De Alba, who tried so hard to win and had many opportunities.
- Press at ringside fairly had Douglas ahead by a point or two, just enough to win. Scoring appeared neutral and fair. One judge had it a draw. Many of the rounds fought were very close.
- Notables at ringside included HBO commentator Harold Lederman, heavyweight Travis Kauffman, former world cruiserweight champion Steve Cunningham, welterweights 'Tito' Gabriel Bracero and Ronald Cruz, lightweight Karl Dargan, Bernard Hopkins and Travis Kauffman championship trainer 'Brother' Nazim Richardson, and noted referee Eric Dali.
