In round 5 Thompson began to hold onto Greene while rubbing his glove in his face. This tactic frustrated Greene the NABA champion which helped Thompson survive. Thompson elected to box over the next few rounds and landed some decent shots to keep the agressive stalking Greene off him.

Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillan improved to 16-0 (13KO's) floowing a second round KO of Troy Lowery 27-8 (16KO's) Quiilan dominated the first round and then rocked him before putting him down. Lowery did not look good on his stool between rounds. 32 seconds into round two Quillan unleashed a monster left hook that would of probably stopped a cruiserweight. The referee Arthur Mcante jr. was waiving off the fight before Lowery even hit the canvas.
