Jordan Arena on the campus of Bowie State University.

Outlaw was able to land some good power shots to the body and head of Bogar throughout the contest despite suffering a hand injury at some point during the middle rounds. Outlaw landed a right hook that opened a cut over the right eye of Bogar, but it seemed to make Bogar fight more aggressively. Both fighters were having some good exchanges but it was Outlaw who kept the judges attention by winning on all three judges scorecards, Steve Rados 58-56, Don Risher 60-54, and Paul Wallace 59-55.
Greg Outlaw remains undefeated at (6-0, 2 KO's) while Bogar falls to (4-9-1, 2 KO's).

In the co-feature of the card Travis "Seveer" Reeves won by eight-round unanimous decision over Devin "Bite" Butcher.
Both of the light heavyweight fighters are from Baltimore, MD as they faced each other in this contest. The bout was very difficult to watch as each fighter wasn't really showing their ability to box. Butcher stood tall using a very awkward shoulder defense. When Reeves was the aggressor at times he was able to score a knockdown in round four. Reeves could have capitalized of the knockdown, but he wasn't using his jab to set up the shots he should have been throwing in the remaining rounds. Butcher, at times used his long reach to land a shot or two on Reeves, but most of the bout Butcher was holding. Referee Brent Bovell took a point away from Butcher for obsessive holding. Reeves won by the scores of 77-73, 80-69 and 78-72.
Reeves is now (16-3-2, 7 KO's) while Butcher falls to (6-3, 3 KO's).

White looked very good after coming off a hand injury he suffered a year ago. It was no signs of ring rust on Whites behalf as he dominated Rodriguez in every round. White looked physically stronger than he has in the past and still looked technically sound as he landed some good combinations that he set up with a strong jab. The power shots from White drained Rodriguez midway through round four. Referee Kenny Chevalier took a good look and noticed that Rodriguez had enough causing him to put a stop to the contest at 1:34 of the final round.
Jordan White is now (5-1, 4 KO's) while Rodriguez's record drops to (4-5-1).

Forestville, MD middleweight Alantez "SlyAza" Fox won a eight-round unanimous decision over former world title contender Elvin Ayala of Guilford, CT.

He used it perfectly to setup what he wanted to do during the entire bout. Fox baited Ayala in to land more body shots because of the high guard Ayala maintained to protect himself from the expecting jab of Fox. Ayala tried to move in closer, but Fox showed good mobility as he moved around the ring. Fox won by shutout with all three judges, Steve Rados, Don Risher and Paul Wallace scoring it the same for Fox, 80-72.
Alantez Fox improves to (24-1-1, 11 KO's) while Ayala drops to (29-11-1, 13 KO's).
