In the first professional fight of the night, Middleweight Russ Niggemyer defeated Sam Suska after a devastating second round TKO at 1:21.

Suska rushed his opponent immediately and pressed Niggemyer into the corner. The men exchanged heavy blows until referee Ernie Sherif paused the action to replace the mouthpiece of Niggemyer.
After action resumed, the chest-to-chest contest continued. Suska blasted his opponent with a thunderous overhand right to restart the action, but the mouth guard of Niggemyer hit the canvas yet again. Sherif, visibly frustrated, penalized the fighter one point.

Round two saw Niggemyer drifting backwards into the corner to work with hard inside punches. After scoring with a hard right hand to the chin, Niggemyer chased the staggering Suska and dropped him flat on his face with a hard cross.

Though he beat the count, Suska was still shaken and reengaged his opponent only to be crumpled with a devastating right hand. Referee Ernie Sherif made it to the count of five before he waved off the contest at 1:21.

With this win Russ Niggemyer is victorious in his professional debut, while Sam Suska falls to 0-1.
