At the San Manuel Indian Casino in San Bernardino, California, former three division champion James Toney (73-6, 44KOs) made his return to boxing with a one-sided ten round decision over Damon Reed (45-15, 32KOs). All three judges scored it 100-90. According to ringside observers, the fight was boring and Toney, who weighed 257-pounds at the weigh-in, was very out of shape and worked at a very slow pace. He was barely putting punches together and did his best work to the body.

There were also two minor upsets on the card.

Enrique Lobatos (2-2-1) stopped the professional debut of Granson Clark in the second round (0-1) with a left hook to the body that sent Clark down for the full count.

Alfredo Rivera (1-7) picked up his first win as a pro. He stopped the unbeaten run of junior welterweight Angel Estrada (5-1, 2 KOs). Rivera took a four round majority decision with scores of 39-37, 39-37 and 38-38.
