Bergman Aguilar vs Ryan Karl
Aguilar came out bringing heat throwing meaningful punches from the opening bell. Later in the round, Karl would taste the canvas as Aguilar continued to throw big blow after big blow. It look like there could possibly be an early stoppage but, by the end of the round, Karl looked like he had regained his bearings a bit.
DOWN GOES KARL!

In the second round, referee Bill Clancy warned both fighters for “rough-housing” as the fight was taking place at close quarters. The rough-housing continued in the third round as Aguilar took a knee after an obvious low blow.
The fighters would continue to maul and smother until the fight was stopped because Aguilar suffered a broken hand.
