The final round saw both heavies tear into each other in attempt to knock the other out, but the whiskers of the contenders hung tough. In the end, all three ringside judges favored Mansour's overall higher punch output with tallies of 117-111, 115-113, and 114-114.
Former welterweight world champion Kermit Cintron was hoping to continue his career resurgence, but his bout with David Grayton was cut short in the fifth. Grayton floored Cintron in the fateful round and then the fight resumed, the two welters clashed heads. Cintron threw a fit and refused to continue and the ringside doctor agreed that he was unable to continue. In the end, the fight went to the judges for a technical decision; one saw it for Cintron 49-46 but the other two had it 37-37, resulting in a majority draw.
Former cruiserweight king Steve Cunningham scored a six-round decision over Felipe Romero. Cunningham won via tallies of 60-54 across the board.
