Being motivated, game and eager can sometimes be your downfall, which his opponent Eduardo Reis from Brazil found out the hard way in this main event promoted by 15^th Round Promotions.

Reis, nicknamed “La Dinamita”, was ready for war, but unfortunately for him he was not ready to withstand the spiteful and powerful shots of Walker, as the American was more than willing to go toe-to-toe with him.

It was clear that Reis, coming off a big win in his last fight where he decisioned former two-time UBO titlist Brandon Berry, was confident going in, and wanted to catch Walker off guard. But instead he found himself on the canvass multiple times.

Reis (35) bravely beat the count every time, but when Walker (24) went all out for the finish in round two, he was eventually trapped in a corner and unable to respond.

Referee Mark Nelson, who six days earlier was the third man in the ring when pound-for-pound star Naoya Inoue defended his world titles in Tokyo, consequently stepped in and waved the fight off.

It was exiting and impressive, as Walker improved his professional record to 18-1 (17) and captured his second UBO title. Last July he won the UBO Continental (North America) title.

The very experienced Reis, who turned professional in 2008, drops to 25-13 (19), but can be proud that he did his best and came to win. He was just up against a very talented and powerful opponent.
