In the opening bout on the Tsurkan-Feliciano fight card at Utopia Paradise Theatre, Heavyweight Joe Hanks of Newark, New Jersey, battled Corey Winfield of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Neither had fighter ever won a bout by decision, and Hanks, now 2-0, clearly won the decision in this bout by being more aggressive, throwing combinations throughout the contest and backing up Winfield. For his part, Winfield threw some wild punches which Hanks slipped, and never landed any punches, so he resorted to grabbing Hanks for most of the bout. In the second round, Hanks slipped to the canvas, and Winfield got his head caught between the ring ropes. Both fighters appeared somewhat cautious in this four rounder.
