Mussachio, 183 lbs of Wildwood, New Jersey won by scores of 60-54, 59-55 і 58-56 і в даний час 19-3-2. Lockett, 205.3 lbs of Takoma Park, Меріленд є 14-17-5.

Johnson showed fast hands from his southpaw stance and he got off to a good start when a straight left hand in round one landed for a knockdown. Через кілька миттєвостей, a hard straight left sent Wilson down for a second time in the opening frame, Wilson began to bleed from his nose in the next round and his troubles worsened when a cut over the right eye formed after another hard left. Wilson showed heart as he fought back hard but, he was outgunned as he tasted the canvas two more times in round four from first a right hook and then finally an accumulation of punches forced the bout to be stopped at 2:15 чотири круглих.
