Friday Night Fights

WW: Tony DeMarco 9-0 (6) KO 1 Carey Mace 17-7 (6)
Very impressive win in what was being perceived as a very tough test at this early point for DeMarco.

WW: Johnny Greco 17-4 (7) KO 8 Juan Padilla 10-1
A minor upset as Greco takes the win in his homecountry with a big combination in the 8th. Greco was ahead on the cards going in to the final round. Greco is now #25.

FW: Percy Bassett 12-0 (5) UD 8 Dave Gallardo 5-3-2 (1)
This speedy young featherweight scored two knockdowns on the way to a shutout decision. Bassett moves to #9.

LW: Henry Davis 22-1 (3) SD 8 German Diaz 9-11-2 (4)
Davis seems to have been affected by the upset knockout loss against Danny Webb and only just escaped with a split decision against someone he should never struggle against. Davis remains #10.

BW: Fernando Gagnon 21-2 (17) KO 3 Yugoro Agano 12-10 (2)
No worries for Gagnon who overtakes cuban Manuel Armenteros for the #3 spot.

Main Event

LHW: Yvon Durelle 13-0-3 (4) Draw (tec) 4 Sebastian Hasler 9-8-3 (3)
An accidental headbutt caused a cut to Hasler and when the fight was ended in round 4 it was therefore a technical draw. Durelle drops to #11.
