Reina Tellez W10 Jessica Barry... Reina Tellez, fighting for the first time since her January title loss to Amanda Serrano, controlled the early going behind the jab and left Jessica Barry covering up in the first, then piled up combinations through the middle rounds. The fight swung in the sixth, when the referee deducted a point from Tellez for repeated low blows and Barry came right back at her, and the pair spent the seventh through the tenth trading downstairs with everything they had. Barry never stopped coming forward, but Tellez landed the cleaner and heavier work. The referee's score was 96-94.
Terri Harper KO2 Miranda Reyes... In her first outing since losing her lightweight titles to Caroline Dubois at MVPW01 in April, the three-division champion returned with a second-round knockout. The opening round was even, with Miranda Reyes attacking the body and Terri Harper using her range behind the jab, but early in the second Reyes walked straight onto a left hand and hit the canvas. She beat the count at eight and Harper went after her immediately, closing the show with a short left hook that left Reyes on unsteady legs and prompted the referee to stop the fight at 0:47.
Tysie Gallagher W8 Brandi Robinson... The fight was contested largely on the inside. The referee called time in the fifth to warn both women about the clinching and singled Tysie Gallagher out again in the sixth, with almost every exchange collapsing into a wrestle along the ropes. Brandi Robinson, in her first fight outside the United States, kept walking in behind the jab and dug to the body whenever the two tied up, but Gallagher landed the harder single shots throughout, stumbling her with a left-right in the third and getting the better of the work in the fifth and seventh. The score was 77-75.

Fighting in the United Kingdom for the first time in a career spread across nine countries, Neeraj Goyat set the terms early with the right hand and stayed on top of them for six rounds. Yessin Koulali, at 22 the youngest fighter on the card, opened the second with combinations and stumbled Goyat’s way into trouble instead, and from the third on he was the one being walked down. Goyat mixed in body work, cornered him repeatedly in the fifth and sixth, and took every round. The score was 60-54.
The two had met once before, in the semifinals of the 2022 Boxxer Series tournament, and that night handed Scott Melvin the only defeat on his record. This time he took the fight upstairs while Dylan Cheema hunted the body, and by the fifth Cheema was boxing with a busted nose as Melvin reeled off long strings of left hands. A right to the body in the sixth put Cheema down for an eight count, and when Melvin went back downstairs with another combination the referee stopped the fight at 2:33.
In a fight scored a draw, neither woman could hold the fight for long. Ebonie Cotton was the busier of the two through the middle rounds, pressing forward behind the jab and backing Shannon Courtenay to the ropes in the third, then piling up left hands in the fourth. Courtenay boxed her way out of those spots and turned the fifth around, blocking the jab, digging downstairs and catching Cotton with a right hand and a hook on the counter, and she found an uppercut inside late in the sixth. The score was 57-57.
Gemma Richardson did the cleaner work every time the two tangled up, beating Kirstie Bavington to the punch on the inside and stringing combinations together while Bavington was left landing single shots. Bavington kept pressing forward and had her moments with flurries in the first, third and sixth, but the referee had to pause the action in the third to warn both women about the excessive clinching. Richardson dug to the body in the fourth and again in the sixth. The score was 60-54.
