Duilio Loi turned up the heat on Kosta Tszyu with a fourth round eye injury stoppage of Aaron Pryor. Loi boxed beautifully and had won every round before the referee intervened, Pryor had no answer to the piercing jab of the Italian and it will be interesting to see if Tszyu has the same problems that Pryor was unable to solve. Pryor's connections are hoping to arrange a challenge for Arturo Gatti's NABF Title, it may be wiser for him to line up a couple of 'softer' targets after this demoralising defeat.

Half an hour after Loi's demolition Tszyu stopped Ben Tackie with a third round eye injury TKO. It had been plain sailing for the champ up till that point. A mandatory defence against a 'regional' belt holder will be arranged, and if Tszyu overcomes that hurdle a mouth watering bout against Loi awaits.

The division also witnessed Antonio Cervantes wrestling the LABA title from Nicolino Locche with a unanimous points decision and 'rating boosting' points victories for Johnny Bumphus, Saoul Mamby and Wilfred Benitez.
