IBF Intercontinental cruiserweight champion and Olympic bronze medalist David “The Nice Guy” Nyika defeated Tommy Karpency in three rounds.
In the main event, David “The Nice Guy” Nyika (10-0, 9 KOs) stopped late substitute southpaw Tommy “Kryptonite” Karpency (31-9-1, 19 KOs) at 1 minute, 13 seconds into the third round of a scheduled 12-round bout.
In the first round, the taller Nyika controlled the bout with his jab. In the second round, Nyika forced Karpency into the ropes with two right punches. Karpency fought back, but Nyika’s power overwhelmed him and he landed a powerful body shot to the liver.
In the third round, Nika landed a left punch to the ribs that sent Karpency down and prompted referee Danrex Tapasan to call the count of eight.
Midway through the bout, Karpency took him down with a right hook to the side of the head, and he fell to the canvas again at the count of eight before his corner threw in the towel. Karpency’s move from light heavyweight to heavyweight over the past three years was a mistake. Grit wasn’t enough.
Heavyweight Willa “Wymondley Punch” Mahwu (8-0, 7 KOs) defeated Joe “Game Over” Aguerri (3-3, 2 KOs) in four rounds.
The first round was dominated by Mau’u, with Aguelli landing the final punch, a right to the jaw. In the second and third rounds, the taller Mau’u overpowered Aguelli. In the fourth and final round, Aguelli held on but could not win the round.
Referee Andrew Bell scores: 39-37, 39-37, 39-38.
Light heavyweight Rykiah Warren (3-0, 2 KOs) knocked out Dylan “Heavy Hands” Wright (3-10) in the first round of a scheduled four-round bout.
In the first round, Warren landed two left uppercuts to the body that sent Wright down, as determined by referee John Conway.
Heavyweight Alex Leapai Jr. (3-0, 2 KOs) knocked out Manuciu Feao (0-1) at 2 minutes and 10 seconds into the second round in a scheduled fourth-round bout.
Feao had the upper hand in the second round, but Leapai landed two right hooks that forced Feao into the ropes and caused referee Andrei Bell to count.
Heavyweight Liam Messam (7-0-1, 1 KO) fought to a majority draw after four rounds against Jordan Simi (0-1-1).
Mesam won the first round with a body attack, and the fight was evenly matched from the second to the fourth round.
The scores were 38-38, 38-38, 39-37.
Light heavyweight southpaw Jenna Fabian (0-0-1) fought Trish Faca (1-8-2) over four rounds, ending in a majority draw.
The first two rounds were a series of clinches, but in the fourth round, Faca won the round with an overhand right against the taller Fabian.
The scores were 38-38, 38-38, 36-40.
Heavyweight Hemi “The Heat” Ahio (23-1, 17 KOs) defeated Faiga “Django Opel” Opel (16-6-2, 12 KOs) by split decision after a hard-fought 10-round bout.
In the first four rounds, Opel, fresh from a stoppage loss in May, was the better of the two by a few inches. For the most part, Opel gave as much as he received from Ahio. In the fifth and sixth rounds, Ahio had Opel against the ropes for most of the round.
In the seventh round, Opel overwhelmed Ahio with punches. In the tenth and final round, Ahio looked exhausted, switching in and out of southpaw and realizing that the fight was tough. The smaller Opel was evenly matched with Ahio for much of the second half of the bout. After a close contest, Ahio fought strong and won the round.
The scores were 96-94 for Ahio, strangely enough 99-91 and 96-94 for Opel.
Super featherweight Nolt “The Assassin from Siam” Beauchamp (19-8-1, 3 KOs) was stopped in the fourth round by WBO Global, IBF Pan Pacific, IBO Intercontinental, WBA Oceania and WBC Asia champion Jackson “Action” England (17-3, 9 KOs) in their scheduled four-round bout.
In the first round, Jackson landed a body shot that had Baucham down by the count of eight by referee John Conway, and in the fourth round, Jackson pummeled Baucham, leaving him bleeding from the mouth, and Baucham’s corner ordered the fighters to end the bout.
