Michel Pereira def. Khaos Williams via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
In a fight that didn't quite live up to the excitement it promised on paper, the creative Pereira won a back and forth bout. For once, Pereira showed a much more measured approach, didn't backflip even once, and still found his way to a close decision victory.
