By Mark Vester

At the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut, welterweight contender Delvin Rodriguez (25-4-2, 14 KOs) won a twelve round unanimous decision over Mike Arnaoutis (22-5-2, 10KOs). The scores were 117-110, 119-108 and 118-109. Rodriguez barely lost control in any round. He kept Arnaoutis on the retreat all night. In the eleventh, a bad cut opened up above Arnaoutis' eye. Rodriguez closed strong in the twelfth.

Junior middleweight contender Joe Greene (22-0, 14 KOs) made his return to the ring and won an eight round unanimous decision over Chris Gray (12-12, 1 KO) in a keep-busy fight to shake off the rust. The scores were 79-73, 78-74, and 77-75.

Super middleweight prospect Shqiprim Muriqi (3-0, 2 KOs) stopped Fasika Bezabeh (0-4) in the third of a four round scheduled fight. Muriqi battered Bezabeh until the referee jumped in to stop the action.

Junior middleweight prospect Demetrius Andrade (10-0, 7 KOs) picked up a six round unanimous decision over a very game Geoffrey Spruiell (8-9, 2 KOs). All three judges gave Andrade all six rounds.
