Bally’s Atlantic City, Atlantic–City, USA. In the main event of the show in the super middleweight limit (up to 76.2 kg), an American prospect who has not entered the ring for a long time
Isaiah Steen (16-1, 12 KOs) unexpectedly lost
Sene Agbeko (27-2, 21 KOs) from Ghana.
Despite the status of the favorite, Steen immediately gave the center of the ring to the aggressor. He set the pace of the battle, controlled the distance. The fight turned out to be competitive, but it was dictated by the underdog. This time the judges did not let us down: 98-92, 97-93 and 96-94 in favor of the guest.

Agbeko UD 10.
In the limit of the first middleweight (up to 69.9 kg) American
Marquis Taylor (13-1-2, 1 KOs) inflicted a debut defeat on a compatriot knockout
Marlon Harrington (8-1, 7 KOs).
Taylor made a bet on the advantage in workrate and did not lose – he was ahead of the puncher and simply reworked him. Harrington terribly lacked combinational work – he tried to demolish the opponent with something weighty and sweeping.
Taylor won confidently: 80-72 and twice 79-73.

Taylor UD 8.
Also, as part of the show, in the heavyweight limit (over 90.7 kg), unbeaten Americans met
Moses Johnson (9-0-1, 7 KOs) and Mexican Elvis Garcia (12-1, 9 KOs).
The men did a great job at close range, amusing the fans. The judges let down a bit – they gave the victory to the American (76-76, 77-75 and 77-75), although Garcia (at least) should not have lost in this fight.
