On a card featuring a total of 18 harcol, A bírák’ scorecards were not needed until the thirteenth bout of the evening.

Thirteen of the evening’s fights ended in the first round.

Not to be outdone, Carlton Charles (2-2) and Duncan “The Highlander” Kovács (3-2) took their amateur welterweight title fight into the fourth round as well. Smith took the gold home after putting Charles out with a rear-naked choke.
