On June 26, 2008 Don Juan Futrell (21-3-2, 10 KO’s) fought Lowell Brownfield (10-4-1, 3 KO’s) in the main event at the Tachi Palace Casino in Lemoore CA. On the line was Futrell’s WBC USNBC light welterweight title.

As the fight continued both fighters would have their moments. Futrell landed some nice combos in the middle rounds while Brownfield boxed well from the outside late. When the final bell rang, both fighters thought they won.
