John Jackson vs. Dennis Laurente, 10 rounds, junior middleweights
Jackson defeated Laurente via 10-round unanimous decision. The scores were 100-89, 100-89, and 100-89.

Yudel Jhonson vs. Jorge Cota, 10 rounds, junior middleweights
Cota scored a 10-round UD win over Johnson. Cota won with scores of 91-96, 92-95 and 91-96.
Bryant Parella vs. Eduardo Flores, 8 rounds, welterweights
Welterweights Bryant Perrella (9-0, 8 KOs) and Eduardo Flores (21-17-3, 13 KOs) squared off in a bout scheduled for eight rounds.
The Fort Myers, FL southpaw Parella tried to make it an early night dropping Flores in 93 seconds of the first round.
In the second round, after working both head and body, Flores corner called an end to the fight.
Javier Maciel vs. Julio Cesar De La Cruz, 10 rounds, junior middleweights
Fabian Maidana vs. Peter Oluoch, 8 rounds, welterweights
Argentinian Fabian A. Maidana (7-0, 6 KOs) is the younger brother of Marcos “Chino” Maidana. Fabian squared off with Peter Oluoch (9-9-2, 8 KOs) in an eight-round welterweight matchup.
After a relatively tepid two-and-a half rounds, Maidana opened up with a few dangerous hooks in Round 3 before the fight slipped back into a silent, low-action affair.
The fighters exchanged more freely in Round 7 and Maidana dropped Olouch with a left hook from which he rose at the count of four, shaken but survived the remaining seconds.
Maidana ultimately cruised to a deserved unanimous decision.
Daquan Arnett vs. Joshua Conley, 8 rounds, junior middleweights
Also at Super Welterweight, “King” Daquan Arnett (13-1, 8 KOs) laced up to face Joshua Conley (11-0-1, 6 KOs) in a battle of East vs. West coast and received a hearty hometown welcome from his Winter Park, Florida supporters.
The fight featured far more posturing than punching until the seventh round when both men opened up more and had some good moments.
It remained much of the same in the eighth and final round though it appeared that Conley shook Arnett on at least one occasion. Some of the right hands landed by Conley made a impressive noise though they appeared to land more at the base of the hand than the front.
The judges scored the bout for Arnett who won by spilt decision.
Miguel Cruz vs. Travis Hartman, 6 rounds, welterweights
Florida resident Miguel Cruz (9-0, 5 KOs) dipped between the ropes to face journeyman Travis Hartman (13-22-1, 10 KOs) in another bout in the 147-pound division
Hartman certainly appeared the more experienced as expected, but also seemed to know his role, being dropped twice and stopped in the second.
Javontae Starks vs. Carlos Galvan, 8 rounds, welterweights
Javontae Starks (12-0, 7 KOs) from Orlando, Fl took on Carlos Galvan (10-2-1, 9 KOs) from Colombia who reported for duty in military fatigues in a welterweight match.
The first round wasn’t particularly good for either fighter though Galvan pressed the action, landing some nice combinations and digging to the body.
By Round 4 Starks appeared to be pushing his punches while Galvan pressed the action and began to land some telling blows though he appeared to tire.
Galvan was gassed in the eighth and after several effective combinations went down, which made the difference in the decision with Starks pulling out an eight-round split decision.
