Notes

  • Biggest win of Virginia police officer and southpaw Frankie Filippone's career, fighting 14 days after his last win.
  • Filippone stepped in as a last minute participant after Dennis Hasson was injured in sparring and pulled out from the bout.
  • Possibility of a WBA world title shot against Beibut Shumenov led Filippone to take this bout at last minute.
  • MMA fighter Engel just too slow on the inside to keep up with Filippone's jab combination output as the busier fighter.
