IBF Inter-Continental Cruiserweight Champion and Olympic Bronze Medalist David ‘The Nice Guy’ Nyika stopped Tommy Karpency in three rounds.
In the main event, David ‘The Nice Guy’ Nyika (10-0, 9 KOs) stopped replacement slugger Tommy Kryptonite’ Karpency (31-9-1, 19 KOs) at 1:13 of the third round of a scheduled 12 stopped laps.
In the first round, the taller Nyika controlled with his jab. In the second round, Nyika drove Karpency with some rights to the chin. Karpency fought back well, but Nyika had too much power to come down on the smaller man with vicious body shots to the liver.
In the third round, left to the ribs from Nyika and down, Karpency went for an 8 count from referee Danrex Tapassan.
At the halfway point, a right hook to the side of the head and down Karpency to the canvas for another 8 count as his corner throws in the towel. Karpency moving from light heavyweight to heavyweight over the past three years was a mistake. Guts alone was not enough.
Heavyweight Uila ‘Wymondley Punch’ Mau’u (8-0, 7 KOs) defeated Joe ‘Game Over’ Ageli (3-3, 2 KOs) over four rounds.
In the first round it was all Mau’u, with Ageli landing the last blow, a right to the chin. In the second and third rounds, the taller Mau’u landed Ageli. In the fourth and final round, Ageli held his own, but not enough to win the round.
Referee Andrew Bell. Scores 39-37, 39-37 and 39-38.

Heavyweight Hemi ‘The Heat’ Ahio (23-1, 17 KOs) won over ten brutal rounds with a split decision over Faiga ‘Django Opelu’ Opelu (16-6-2, 12 KOs).
In the first four rounds, Opelu, coming off a stoppage loss in May, was the shorter of the two by inches. For the most part, he gave as much as he took from Ahio. In the fifth and sixth rounds, Ahio had Opelu on the ropes for most of the rounds.
In the seventh round, Opelu beat Ahio. In the tenth and final round, Ahio looked exhausted, switching to southpaw and back, knowing he was in for a tough fight. The shorter Opelu mostly fought his way into the second half of the fight on equal footing. Ahio finished strong to take the round in a close fight.
The scores were 96-94, an odd 99-91, for Ahio, and 96-94 for Opelu.
