Hackett deposited shots to the body early and often to send Woodberry to the canvas three times. Hackett came forward the entire round as Woodberry tried to come inside but was met with Hackett's short shots that were timed perfectly as Woodberry came in close. A good use of the jab set up more hooks and uppercuts for Hackett. It was left and rights to the body that caught Woodberry when he got in range. After the final right hook to the body Woodberry clearly couldn't continue so the contest was waived off at 2:58 of the first-round.
Jalil Hackett is now (2-0, 2 KO's) while Laterie Woodberry is now (2-11-2)
