What looked on paper to be a solid competitive fight was anything but. Walker would come out strong hitting Mildenberger a couple of times with solid shots. From the on it was all Mildenberger who had one of Walker's eyes just about closed by the 5th round. The judges had the fight scored 99-91, 100-92, and 98-92

Title - (7) Leotis Martin 13-0 (10) vs (7) Doug Jones 13-0 (9)

Rd 1 - Jones kept his distance connecting with jabs and getting out overall a very slow round. We score 10-9 Jones.

Rd 2 - Jones brought the fight to Martin who seemed to stand there and take it. Several times Jones had Martin trapped on the ropes stunning Martin a couple of times. Martin is yet to get into a rhythm. We score this one 10-9. Jones leads 20-18.

Rd 3 - Martin comes to life hitting Jones several times and keeping active. This round goes to Martin 10-9. Overall 29-28.

Rd 4 - Very boring round with neither fighter doing much but Jones doing more. Jones wins this on 10-9. Overall 39-37.

Rd 5 - Another slow round other than one of Martins punches that shook Jones. After that the round was mostly Jones holding. We give Martin this round 10-9. Overall 48-47.

Rd 6 - Martin was the aggressor this round hitting Jones with several hard shots. Jones has been very quiet the last two rounds and seems to be confused. Martin wins 10-9 and overall this one is even 57-57

Rd 7 - Martin stays on the attack while Jones can only hug and hold. Jones looks out of gas and might not last the distance. Martin takes the 7th 10-9 and now leads 67-66.

Rd 8 - Jones seems to come to life this round landing some solid punches and staggering Martin once. The 8th goes to Jones and we have this even 76-76.

Rd 9 - Both fighters appear to take this round off but Martin seems to have more success. We give this to Martin 10-9, overall Martin leads 86-85.

Rd 10 - Martin is all over Jones knocking him down this round. Jones is able to recover and get up by the referees count of 5. Jones hangs on and makes it thru the 10th. Martins wins this 10-8 and now lead 96-93.

Rd 11 - Jones doesnt appear to show up for the 11th getting hit several times and not landing any punches to speak of. Martin now has a commanding lead taking the 11th 10-9 and leading 106-102.

Rd 12 - Jones comes out strong landing several punches but appears to forget about playing defense. Martin knocks Jones down and Jones cannot get off the canvas. Martin wins the USBA title via 12th round KO.
