The first two rounds were very slow. Fisher appeared to land a solid blow in the second that "jarred" Greb. The bout slowed even further in the 3rd, with referee Steve Latzo warning both fighters to pick up the action, or both be thrown out of the ring. Greb picked up the action in the 4th and 5th rounds landing several solid blows, though Fisher continued to offer little as he awkwardly made his way about the ring. Latzo continued to clap his hands during this time, trying to induce some action out of Fisher. In the 6th round, Latzo had seen enough, and threw Fisher out of the ring, and awarded the bout to Greb, via disqualification.
The referee withheld Fisher's purse, pending action by the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission.
