- Date: 2015-12-29
- Location: Sands Bethlehem Event Center, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA
- Referee: Gary Rosato
- Judge: Bernard Bruni 40-36
- Judge: Steve Weisfeld 40-36
- Judge: Ron McNair 40-36
- Newman carefully jabbed and outboxed the hands down showboating and clowning and countering Kpadenou, who tried to psych out Newman with some Emanuel Augustus style tactics that did not work.
- Newman said after the bout he went for the win on points but took no chances with Kpadenou, from Benin, a fighter with a winning record nobody knew much about, stating the number of rounds did not matter.
- Originally scheduled for six rounds, cut to four rounds due to the delayed start of the untelevised portion of the Al Haymon Premier Boxing Champions undercard.
