Emmanuel Noi Mensah of Seconds Out Gym put up a good show but met a tough customer John Quaye of Sea View Gym in an exciting super featherweight clash.

It was a close contest which the judges first scored 57-58, 55-58, 59-55 in favour of Quarm. However, the technical director of the GBA, Shadrack Acquaye, later changed the verdict and declared the bout a no contest after a review.
In the opening bout on the night, Enoch Tetteh of Sonia Gym stopped Mawuli of Akotoku Academy in the second round of their six-round bantamweight contest, while Eric Tetteh of Palm Springs Gym showed a lot of resilience but lost to Prince Amarquaye of Black Panthers Gym who scored a unanimous points victory in their six-round featherweight clash.
