Brad Patraw moved to (4-0, 3 KO's) as he stopped Brandon McKinney (0-1) in the main event Friday night at Mac Daddies Bar in Somerset, WI.
After a slow start, Patraw picked up speed toward the end of the first round, using a hard uppercut to send McKinney back in a corner. A left-right to the face left McKinney stunned moments later. Patraw jumped on McKinney, sending him across the ropes and back to his own corner where he unleashed a barrage of unanswered head punches before the referee stopped the fight at 2:06 of the first round.

Jon Laboda (3-0, 3 K)'s), son of promoter Johnny Johnson, annihilated Rick Klein (1-1) as action was stopped at 1:10 of the first.
Laboda shot out a jab and a right hook which wobbled Klein forward where his glove grazed the canvas early on. Two more fast punches and the fight was called off. Laboda's fast, snapping punches were too much for Klein.

In a fight which did go the full four rounds, Bobby Kliewer (9-4-2, 4 KO's) won a unanimous decision against Carey Vanier (0-2). Each time Vanier tried to move in, Kliewer made him pay for it with jabs or 1-2 combinations. Vanier tried to put pressure on Kliewer in round 2 and kickstarted the round with a short flurry of punches which worked their way to Kliewer, ending primarily with hooks to the body. During the next few seconds of the round a clinching match broke out and ref Jeff Ness warned Vanier for wrestling. Late in the round, Vanier clinched Kleiwer again, pulling him down low and delivering multiple punches to the back of the head. The response was boos from the crowd and a hard 1-2 combo from Kliewer to end the round.
In the fourth, Kliewer took charge with his signature bolo punch that sent Vanier back to the corner. A combination later and Kliewer had Vanier on the ground on his hands and knees. Unfortunately for Kliewer, the bell sounded to end the fight before he could take out his dazed opponent. Kliewer joked later that he felt the round was cut short and that he wanted to go after the time keeper!

Sam Morales (2-0, 1 KO) used a strong body attack to stop Jeff Ekdahl (0-1) in the third round.
Ekdahl, who was fighting his pro debut, let Morales chase him around the ring. Morales landed a solid 1-2 combination that produced a small welt under Ekdahl's eye in the first round. In round two, Ekdahl kept his guard up for the first part of the round, trying to block Morales from doing any more damage to that right eye. Ekdahl began to break down and went on the defensive, only sending out punches after Morales threw his combinations. By the end of the round, Morales began to punish Ekdahl’s body with hooks and uppercuts.
It didn’t take Morales much time to finish Ekdahl in round 3 as Ekdahl's face was swollen like a bruised tomato. Ekdahl showed his toughness by fighting back but Morales ended matters by chasing Ekdahl across the ring with combinations until Ref Ness called the bout at 1:26 of the third round.

In his pro debut, Cerresso Fort (1-0, 1KO) overwhelmed Ray Walker (1-6).
Each round leading up to the end, Fort showed sharp, clean combinations in every round which Walker could only answer by covering up and crouching over. After bloodying Walker’s nose in round two, Fort dropped Walker to his knees with a flurry toward the end of the third round. The bout was stopped at 2:47 of the third.

The bout between Harley Kilfian and John Turner was scratched because of weight difference issues between the two fighters.
