Vera vs. Davey Grant (unanimous decision win – fight of the night)

Vera delved into her past to get back on track after losing two of her three appearances in 2020. Five years prior, Grant had defeated Vera by unanimous decision in London, and Vera needed a win to cement herself in the bantamweight rankings. What followed was a hard-fought, hard-fought effort that earned Fight of the Night honors. In the end, Vera got her bounceback victory sprinkled with a little revenge to boot.

O’Malley vs. Kris Moutinho (TKO Win – Fight of the Night)

“Suga” was racking up wins in impressive fashion, but some still doubted the strength of his schedule. Even though Almeida was a veteran, he wasn’t someone of Vera’s caliber at the time of their fight. O’Malley understood, but he could only fight the people in front of him.

Originally, O’Malley expected to fight Louis Smolka and hoped to become the first person to knock out the Hawaiian. However, when Smolka was forced to withdraw from the fight and Massachusetts native Kris Moutinho stepped in, “Suga” knew he had to deliver something dominant. The record-breaking performance featured his full arsenal of precise strikes before earning the finish at the end of the third round.
