Karpency used his superior size and landed harder shots throughout the fight while hurting Holstein badly in both the 4th and 5th rounds.

In the co-feature, Zak Rollins (5-0, 2kos) outpointed Dan Karpency (7-2, 3kos) to capture the Ohio State Junior Middleweight Title. Rollins used superior hand speed and counter punching to earn the unanimous decision by scores of 79-73 and 78-74 (twice). No knockdowns were recorded.
