Carlos Maussa escaped with a TKO victory over Jake Kilrain in tonight's Main Event at Madison Square Garden in NYC. Kilrain surprised Maussa and the capacity crowd with a stiff effort throughout the bout, dropping Maussa in the 3rd for an 8 count, and keeping Maussa on the defensive throughout the evening. Kilrain led on all cards until the 10th round, when Maussa went all out for the KO in a bout he realized was rapidly escaping from his grasp. The withering barrage by Maussa was more than Kilrain could withstand, and with less than a minute to go in the round, a helpless Kilrain hung in the corner while being beaten mercilessly by Maussa. The referee, Frank Cappuccino, stopped the action to protect the defenseless Kilrain, awarding the bout to Maussa. It was a narrow escape for the Columbian fighter, who was down three points on all judges cards before round 10.

On the undercard, Billy Australian Smith dominated a surprisingly docile Joe Goss en route to a UD victory. Goss, after coming into the PBF at 12-0, has lost all 3 of his bouts in 1890. While he will likely still squeak into the tourney, Goss has proven to be much less imposing than his reputation would suggest.

James Dalton, with his 8 round annihilation of Posh Price, also moved into contention for a spot in next month's tourney. "The Captain", a popular veteran from the now-defunct UoLBA, has climbed the rankings with each month this year. While his win tonight does not yet cement his place in next month's tourney, there is reason for optimism after tonight's effort.
