The card featured five fights, all of which ended in knockout or stoppage. In the heavyweight co-main event Florida's hard-hitting Andre Purlette squared off against seasoned campaigner Lionel Butler.

Despite his opponent's fearsome reputation, Butler appeared calm and relaxed as he answered the first bell. In fact he was oozing confidence and came straight at Purlette, who has a reputation for being a little "chinny".

Looking to exploit this, Butler pressed the action, pushing his muscular foe back with an array of punches. Sure enough he connected and exposed Purlette's fragile whiskers, rocking him badly with a one - two combination. He followed this up with a great two-fisted attack, which had Purlette pretty much out on his feet.

Due to wobbly legs and his own momentum Purlette staggered forward and fell to the canvas, and the referee ruled it a slip.

Fortunately for Purlette the bell sounded shortly after and he made it through a desperate first stanza. The second round began with Butler looking a little winded and unable to capitalise on his barnstorming first round.

Purlette by contrast appeared fresh and still willing to mix it up, which he duly did, dropping Butler with a debilitating right hand. Butler got to his feet but looked unsteady and was probably wondering what had happened.

Looking to end matters quickly, Purlette rushed in as soon as referee, James Waring waved for the action to continue. Another flurry of punches had Butler down again. He managed to get to his feet and tried to rally after receiving his second count, but Purlette was relentless and closed the show with a devastating left-right, which put Butler down for a third time.

Being that the ‘three knockdown rule’ was in effect the referee had no choice but to wave it off at the 1:57 mark. After this electrifying performance Purlette moves to 37-2, 34 KOs while Butler slips to 31-15-1-25 KOs.
