In this bout Pllana had his guard down, but made it effective enough to land a good jab on Bell throughout the rounds. Bell landed some good shots on Pllana when Pllana backed straight up and was off balance. It was in the second-round where Pllana turned up his scoring by landing some clean left and right hands on Bell as the round came to a close. Bell would battle back in the middle rounds as he pressured Pllana moving him against the ropes to land some good shots. It was in the final round where Pllana put together some good combinations to get judges Vic DeWysocki and Steve Rados to score the bout his way at 59-55. The third judge John Gradowski saw the bout as a draw at 57-57. Pllana is now (2-0, 1 KO) while Bell loses for the first time and he is now (3-1, 1 KO).

In another super middleweight bout, twin brother Bustin Bell, also from District Heights, MD scored a second-round TKO over DeAndre West of Danville, VA. Bell came out from the start of the bout throwing some hard body shots that backed up West throughout the contest. Bell continued landing head and body shots as referee Vic DeWysocki told West to show him that he could defend himself as the round closed. As the second-round started it was much of the same from Bell. Bell backed West up against the ropes with a combination of shots causing DeWysocki to stop the contest at 1:19. Bell remains perfect at (4-0, 3 KO's) while West's record drops to (0-2).

In a six-round welterweight contest Shynggyskhan Tazhibay of Washington, DC by way of Karaganda, Kazakhstan won by unanimous decision over Juan De La Cruz Rodriguez of Haymarket, VA. Tazhibay did a good job of avoiding Rodriquez's jab and countering with his own hard right hand shots. In the middle rounds Tazhibay didn't use his jab as much allowing Rodriquez to score a few shots of his own. Tazhibay was the more busier fighter and all the judges,  (John Gradowski,  Steve Rados and Brent Bovell) saw the bout 59-55.  Tazhibay remains undefeated at (8-0, 2 KO's) while Rodriguez is now (8-12-1, KO's).

Lightweight Jahmal Dyer of Baltimore, MD spent a short time in the ring as he got a first-round TKO over "Joltin" Jesse Carradine, Jr. of Decatur, GA. Both fighters started the round out using their jabs to establish distance. Dyer's jab was more effective as he used it to set up a perfect right hand that landed on the chin of Carradine sending to the canvas. Carradine looked a little stunned by the punch, and made a effort to get up. As he tried to stand up he fell back to the canvas. He finally made it to his feet, but referee Kenny Chevalier clearly saw Carradine suffered a right ankle injury and put a stop to the bout at 1:48. Dyer raises his record to (7-1, 5 KO's). Carradine's record drops to (8-6-2, 4 KO's).

He improves his record to (1-1) as Bryant Costello starts his career off at (0-1).
