Elsewhere, Drew Dober and Frank Camacho garnered “Fight of the Night” honors and $50,000 apiece for their entertaining welterweight scrap. The pair combined to land 251 significant strikes during the three-round affair, with Dober ultimately emerging with a unanimous decision victory.
Finally, Mirsad Bektic captured a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” check thanks to his emphatic finish of Godofredo Castro in a preliminary featherweight affair. When Castro attempted to throw a knee, the 26-year-old prospect blasted the Brazilian with a right hand to the body. “Pepey” slumped to the ground after absorbing the blow, bringing an end to the contest 2:47 into round one.
