HW: Iglas Coblah 20-4 (14) KO 4 Todd Mason 10-11 (4)
Three close, intense rounds was followed by one massive uppercut that ended the fight effectively. The ghanese Coblah moves up to #7 in the heavyweight division.

MW: Jake LaMotta 17-3-2 (8) UD 8 Antonio Torres 7-7-4 (2)
Expectations weren't too big seeing as LaMotta had already suffered three losses, but at the same time, the folks who had seen him in his loss against Randy Turpin knew this guy was better than his record. And he took a step towards proving that as he shutout Torres in impressive and entertaining fashion to move up to #28 in the middleweight division.

WW: Billy Graham 22-2 (4) UD 8 Jim Collins 8-7-4 (3)
Graham didn't impress but did what he needed and recovered from his shocking loss to Jimmy Doyle in modest fashion by outpointing Collins for a clear decision. Graham is now #8 in the welterweights.

FW: Tommy Collins 18-0 (16) KO 1 Bernie Grant 9-6
One of only two guys who looks like a threat to Willie Pep in the featherweights (the other guy being Sandy Saddler), proved his immense punching power once again by finishing Grant in the 1st round. Collins is still #3.

LHW: Ezzard Charles 16-0 (12) KO 5 Curt Blackburn 7-6-5 (2)
Charles looked fantastic as Blackburn hardly got a punch in against the fast, hard-hitting, agressive, clever #3 in the Light-Heavyweight division. Charles scored knockdowns in round 3 and 5.

Main Event

HW: Phil Muscato 19-0-2 (9) draw Colin Chaney 10-6-4 (3)
Although he probably deserved the win, Muscato was very unimpressive as he was matched by the equally unimpressive Colin Chaney. It didn't have any impact on Muscatos ranking though as he remains on top.
