USA New York State Middleweight Title Bout
- In DiBella Entertainment main event bout, Lee wins the New York State Middleweight title by 10 round split decision.
- Originally announced as a 10 round split decision draw, and the crowd left. Subsequently a tabulation error was discovered.
- Technical fighter Galeano won three of the first five rounds, while power hitter Lee did better over the last five rounds.
- Lee won the tenth and final round as Galeano faded and look ready to go-but moved well and hung on to barely survive the contest.
- No fouls, good sportsmanship throughout. The crowd at BB King was split between fans for both fighters. Clean bout.
- Bout broadcast live on Gofightlive.com. Famed promoter Lou DiBella provided some of the audio commentary at ringside.
- BoxRec # 1 WBO Female World champion Amanda Serrano was in the house, working the corner earlier for her sister Cindy Serrano's bout.
- Part of Lou DiBella's commentary centered around his support for professional female boxing and how hard it is to find female opponents. Case in point, DiBella noted, fearless and rugged short 41 year old Renata Domsodi flew over from Hungary four times in 11 months to fight three of Dibella's world ranked female fighters: Heather Hardy twice, Shelly Vincent and Cindy Serrano. Domsodi was not stopped.
