O'Malley , Edmonds, WA (21-4-1; 14), 138 lbs.
Rafael Ortiz defeated Martin O'Malley by KO at :21 of the 6th round. The fight started with a whimper and ended with a bang. The first round the fighters circled each other throwing the occasional nonthreatening jab. After the second round the floodgates opened and Ortiz punished O'Malley the rest of the night. The fight ended when O'Malley staggered out of his corner at the start of the six round. He met Ortiz in the middle of the ring, and Ortiz beat him back into the ropes and literally knocked him out of the ring for the victory.
NWBA Super Middleweight Title, Scheduled 8 Rounds
Reggie Davis (13-2; 6), 155 lbs. vs. Dewey Welliver, Spokane, WA (15-14-1; 4), 164 lbs.
Reggie Davis defeated Dewey Welliver in a unanimous 8-round decision. Davis' smooth and flashy style dominates the fight. Welliver is tough, and his big heart and scrappy determination keep the fight entertaining. In the end, Davis is too slick and too quick for his opponent, winning the fight unanimously.

Wesley Martin (16-47-8; 9) 213 lbs. vs. Michael Sams, Puyallup WA (13-1-3; 3), 205 lbs.
Michael Sams defeated Wesley Martin in a unanimous 4-round decision. A slow-moving affair, Sams outlasts Martin for the victory.
Welterweight, Scheduled 4 Rounds
Steve Conklin (1-0) 136 lbs. vs. Terrence Jet (0-2) 138 lbs.
Steve Conklin defeated Terrence Jett in a 4-round split decision. The fight was a series of quick, powerful flurries and polished technique. Jett seemed to hold Conklin when he got inside, officials deducted points for the holding infractions, and it could have cost him a close fight. When the decision was read in Conklin's favor, Jett was shocked, as were many of the patrons attending the event.

Tariq Jooya defeated Jamil Hodge by TKO at 2:31 of the 3rd. Hodge was wild and gutsy, he landed several solid haymakers during the course of the fight. Jooya was skilled and precise, and made Hodge pay for his sloppy technique in the 3rd, landing a huge right hand which knocked Hodge out.
