Davis connects with a strong left hand at the end of round 4. Neither man was doing much in the round until then, Solano was goading Davis into throwing and threw his own left hand but was met by a power backhand from Davis that slammed Solano's head back.

40-36 Davis

Southpaw left hand from Davis skims Solano early in the opener. Solano is fighting behind a tight guard on the ropes, while the taller Davis' guard is more open and reliant on his ability to step out of range when Solano throws. Solano is hoping to counter Davis as he enters into punching range but Davis is in no rush to let his hands go and is fighting behind a long jab. Solid left hand from Davis splits the guard at the end of round two.

20-18 Davis

Kelvin Davis (13-0, 7 KOs), the second of the three Davis brothers fighting tonight, battles Colombia's Yeis Solano (15-3, 10 KOs) over eight rounds at welterweight.

Austin Deanda wins a hard-fought decision (78-74, 77-75, 77-75) over DeAundre Pettus in their eight-round middleweight bout.

Good start to the eighth for Pettus who is landing sharp single punches on the inside but Deanda HURTS Pettus with a right hand in the second minute of round 8 — maybe the best punch of the fight from either man. Deanda is now backing Pettus up along the ropes, he is struggling to find shots that are landing cleanly but is still throwing while Pettus isn't. Good action fight throughout.

77-75 Deanda

Deanda has fought this whole fight on the back foot while Pettus has come forward and pushed the pace throughout, you have to wonder what impact that will have on the judges.

Both men fighting in the pocket, the eye-catching work seems to be coming from Pettus in the sixth after losing the 5th. Right hand to the body-right uppercut-straight right-hand combination lands flush on Deanda to close the sixth.

57-57

Deanda catches Pettus with a counter left hook and a right hand in the final few seconds of round 3, it was a close round up until then and Deanda may have stolen it with his late success. 10-9 Deanda

Pettus has slowed down a little and Deanda is holding his feet more, doubling up the left hand — more active than he was earlier in the fight. Deanda's corner is trash-talking Pettus in the middle of the fight, insisting that Pettus has run out of stamina. 10-9 Deanda.

38-38

A counter right hand from Pettus is the best shot in a quiet opener. Both men trying to establish their jab. Pettus is more active while Deanda is feinting and looking to set up shots. 10-9 Pettus

The pair trade right hands in the final seconds of round two, but it's Pettus who gets the better of it. There was a good combination from Pettus before that as well which Deanda had no answer for. 10-9 Pettus

20-18 Pettus

21-year-old local favorite Austin Deanda (15-0, 10 KOs) looks to extend his unbeaten run versus DeAundre Pettus (12-2, 7 KOs) in a middleweight fight scheduled for eight rounds.

Robert Meriweather III moves to 8-0 with a decision win (60-54, 59-55, 59-55) over Eric Howard in their six-round super featherweight contest.

Meriweather switching to southpaw mid-combination trying to find a different angle. It's short, sharp, crisp shots on the inside from the 19-year-old. He does lack a little power at the moment and will need a few years to grow into his man strength to be able to get more knockouts. Howard winces in pain at the conclusion of the fight, portraying the damage inflicted on him by Meriweather.

60-54 Meriweather

Meriweather slowly breaking Howard down with bodywork. Howard is told to use his jab and movement when he goes back to his corner, as Meriweather is punishing him when they're in punching range. Howard's ambition has been beaten out of him by the young prospect Meriweather.

30-27 Meriweather

Robert Meriweather III (7-0, 3 KOs) faces Eric Howard (6-2, 1 KO) in a six-round contest at super featherweight

Ra'eese Aleem and Derlyn Hernandez go the ten-round distance. All three judges are in agreement and score the bout a shutout in favour of Aleem (100-89 x3)

A spirited effort from the tough Hernandez but a dominant display from Aleem, who will now look for a big fight at Featherweight under the Top Rank/ESPN umbrella.

The pace has understandably slowed down in the last couple of rounds. 17-month-inactive Aleem was not as aggressive in rounds 8-9 as he was earlier in the fight. Hernandez is starting to try his own work after his success in round 7. Aleem shuts that down, though, with a thudding right-hand-left hook combination in round 9.

99-90 Aleem

Aleem backs up, perhaps for the first time in the fight, in round 7 as Hernandez unloads with a flurry and a right hand seems to momentarily affect Aleem. Another right hand from Hernandez less than a minute later rocked Aleem. Best round of the fight for the fighter from the Dominican Republic.

10-9 Hernandez, 69-63

Aleem lands with a left uppercut, right-hand combination and follows it up with hooks from both hands. DOWN GOES HERNANDEZ early in round 5 — no clear punch caused the knockdown; Hernandez was just overwhelmed with hooks. However, Hernandez has recovered well and catches Aleem with his own right hand, which slows down Aleem's work a little.

10-8 Aleem, 50-44 Aleem

Hernandez wobbles from a left hook at the end of round 4 and is saved by the bell. His corner asks him if he really wants this fight with Aleem as he's on the wrong end of a dominant showing so far.

10-9 Aleem, 40-36 Aleem

Aleem is hammering Hernandez's body with both hands. A straight right hand early in round 3 hurts Hernandez, Aleem is letting his hands go now with combinations. Impressive display thus far.

30-27 Aleem

Aggressive start from Aleem who wastes no time in pouncing on Hernandez. The American shows great variety with the left hand: tripling up on it, changing levels, and targeting the left hook to the body. A Left hook in the last ten seconds staggers Hernandez back.

10-9 Aleem
