Charlie Leary def. Kiefer Crosbie by TKO via doctor stoppage (5:00, R1)
Things started well enough for Crosbie but the same cannot be said for the end of the round. Leary dropped Crosbie twice in the opening stanza. In between rounds, a doctor ruled Crosbie's eye was too damaged to continue and Leary was awarded the doctor stoppage TKO win.
