MGM Grand,Las Vegas -Edward Williams (12-1-1, 3KOs), who had an army of his fraternity brothers in the audience, won a six round unanimous decision over Christon Edwards (6-2, 3KOs) in a welterweight contest. The scores were 59-55, 59-55, 58-56. The fight was not pretty to watch with a lot of holding, but his frat brothers - reportedly 250 in attendance - cheered on very punch he three.

In a middleweight contest, Stanislav Skorokhod (11-1, 8KOs) won a six round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Hakim Bryant (6-1, 4KOs). The scores were 59-53, 60-52, 50-52.

Skorokhod dropped Bryant with a big counter left during the first and then punished him with punches to pull off a second knockdown. Bryant barely made it the first bell. Bryant actually woke up in the final minute of the second round and made it a competitive fight for the rest of the way.

Opening things up on the show, undefeated prospect Steve Nelson (3-0, 3KOs) picked up a third round stoppage over Tim Meek (5-3-1, 3KOs). [The fight took place at a catch-weight of 171-pounds].

Nelson dominated much of the first round and dropped Meek with a hard right hand in the closing seconds. Meek was bleeding from a bad cut above his left eye and pretty busted up by the end of the third round. In the first minute of the fourth, the referee had seen enough and waved off the contest.

Nelson, who fights out of Omaha, is managed by Terence Crawford's manager/coach Brian McIntyre.
