Brown, a preliminary fighter, fighting his first main event scored an astonishing upset, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Forte looked to be headed to an easy victory in the first two rounds, but Brown took over the fight in the 3rd round with his left hand. Forte rallied in the 8th and 9th rounds against Brown, who appeared tired. Forte's left eye, swollen earlier, was cut in the final round.
