Scott was originally scheduled to take on Joey Dunmoodie, but when the Fort Worth-fighter pulled out at late notice Scott was matched with another Texan in the tough-as-nails Larry Smith from Dallas.

Despite the late change, both fighters put on a good fight for the capacity crowd in attendance, but Scott was clearly the shaper and more skilled boxer.

Smith made a valiant effort, and never looked in serious trouble, but in the end the three judges (Kenny Saintes, Keith Thibodeaux & Russell Naquin) scored it unanimously and deservedly in favor of Scott.

With the victory Travis Scott won his careers first professional title and improved his record to 15-0 (3). Larry Smith, who deserves a lot of credit for filling in and saving the main event, drops to 10-16-1 (7).

UBO World Lightweight Champion Mason Menard was supposed to headline the show in a title defense, but when challenger David Torres suffered an injury in training Menard fought an eight-round non title fight instead.  

Menard was pitted against a better than average journeyman DeShaun Williams, who had only been stopped once in thirteen defeats, and impressively won by fifth round knockout.

Now 25-1 (18), Menard can look forward to possibly defending his UBO World title in August. Williams fell to 5-14-1 (3), but can be pleased with putting on a good performance.

The show was promoted by Boxncar Promotions.
