Hollywood, Florida – Tony “TNT” Grano (20-2-1, 16 KOs) knocked out Davarryl “Touch Of Sleep” Williamson (27-6, 23 KOs) to win the vacant NABF heavyweight championship. Williamson had brief success early in the fight, when he landed a clean right hand on Grano, in the first round. After that, it was pretty much all Grano. “TNT” caught Williamson, with a wicked right hand in the third round, that had “Touch Of Sleep”, on unsteady legs. Grano did not let Williamson, off the hook in the fourth round, as he connected on another big right hand and a right, left hook followed. Those punches lead Williamson to the floor face first and referee Telis Assimenios did not bother with the count and stopped the bout.
Angelo “La Cobra” Santana (13-0, 10 KOs) halted Justin “Le Voodoo” Savi (26-2, 18 KOs) in round four. Santana put Savi on the deck in the second round. By the third round, Savi’s eye was closed. Savi was dropped again, in round three. The fight was waved off, shortly after the beginning of the fourth round. Both men came in at the lightweight limit.

After knocking down Baue in round four, Hernandez finished off “The Business” with an unanswered onslaught. Hernandez claimed the WBC United States light middleweight title.
