Looking to impress the boxing fans in attendance, the two fighters competing in this 10 round matchup are James Masinde (14 - 7(1) - 2) who hails from Ruiru, Kenya and Charles Birgen(3 - 3 - 1) from Ruiru, Kenya.  Masinde weighed in at 167 pounds and 9 ounces, while Birgen weighed in at 168 pounds.  
The referee tonight is Amon Itote, and the three ringside judges are Mark Kamande, Amon Lai and Jay Karanja.  

Round 1: 

Masinde lands a cross.  
Birgen gets on the inside and walks his opponent down, trapping him in a neutral corner.  Birgen lands a right uppercut followed by a left uppercut to his opponents head.
