Julian Jackson, behind on all three scorecards after three rounds, 27-30, and even 26-30 on one of them. Dealing with the added adversity of major eye swelling, and therefore, serious warnings from the refreee, Jackson stuns the odds in the next round, as he seems only in more trouble, but then as an aggressive Graham is trying to finish him, he ends up being knocked out cold by a devastating counter from Jackson.
Jackson becomes the WBC middleweight champion.

Cardamone dominates the 1st round, wobbling Jackson with a good right hook into the corner with a minute left. Agostino continues to pound Julian until the bell with solid shots, cutting Jackson under his left eye. Cardamone controls the first half of the second as well, but everything changes with 1:25 left in the round. Jackson catches Cardamone with a huge, flush short right hand to the chin that knocks Agostino straight off his feet onto his back. Cardamone miraculously gets up by seven, but is very wobbly and falls into Marty Denkin's arms, who quickly waves off the fight.
