Co-Main Event: Richardson Hitchins (9-0) v Kevin Johnson (7-1)
Rd 1-3: Kevin and Richardson come out equally guns blazing but both let each other breathe a bit. Seems like it’s very evenly matched but Richardson takes the upper hand in the following round. Hitchins starts cutting angles and landing from all corners. Johnson answers a bit but not at the same rate. Kevin starts to throw a bit wildly in the third but does land a few to his home crowd’s delight. The right hand over the top is landing for Kevin now as he finds a rhythm. Hitchins lands a few to end the third.
Rd. 4-6: Both look to open up in the 4th to grab a lead in a close fight. Kevin leaves his head open and gets popped.

Kevin landed a hard uppercut of his own in the 5th and was seemingly able to steal the round. Kevin is now the busier of the two. Now Hitchins begins to evade and land some clean shots again including some right hands over the top. The 6th ends in what could be anybody’s round and anybody’s fight.
Rds. 7-10: Now the evenly matched pair are fighting in a phone booth. Kevin lands 2, Hitchins answers and vice versa. Kevin finally backs Hitchins off with a hard left hook. Kevin lands an uppercut that backs Hitchins up again maybe giving him Rd 7. Another right hook for Kevin lands flush and another while Hitchins seems to have lost his range. Kevin seems to have won 2 straight rounds going into the 9th. Both seem a little tired and each attempt holds. Hitchins has life as he unloads and bullies Kevin into a corner while landing a barrage of body shots. Kevin lands some shots of his own but maybe not enough as the fight goes into the final round. Both come in cautiously, Hitchins lands a hard right but eats an uppercut. Kevin lands a left and another right as the crowd comes alive, Hitchins pushes Kevin to the ropes to end the round in a very close fight.
