Osumanu Adama versus Grady Brewer
- Adama weighed in a half pound over the limit, and for some reason (perhaps loss of energy) did not lose the extra half pound in weight, thus was ineligible to win the WBC Continental Americas, IBO Inter-Continental and Universal Boxing Federation Inter-Continental Middleweight regional belts at stake.
- First bout for Adama in over a year, since losing an IBF title fight in Tasmania to Daniel Geale.
- First WBC Continental Americas title bout for both fighters, WBC rating in world top 40 at stake.
- Brewer outboxed the ring rusty Adama in the middle rounds, making for a close bout.
- If the 42 year old Brewer had won one more round on the cards, it could have been a draw.
- Boxing experts were perplexed as to why Adama's manager, Wasfi Tolaymat of Chicago Fight Promotion, would pay sanctioning fees to have three regional title belts on the line, and not have his fighter lose 1/2 pound to make weight after not fighting / moving Adama for over a year.
