Official scores were Julie Lederman 79-72, Tony Paollilo 79-72, and Tom Schreck 76-76.
After the fight, Browne had this to say:
It was a good learning experience, I went eight rounds for the first time. It’s ok I didn’t knock him out, you can’t knock everybody out, it was definitely dirtier than my other fights, my opponent kept using his head. Back to the gym, back to work, go another eight rounds and come out stronger next time.
