He then handily defeated Anthony Blais of WNEC (dec. 13-5) and Steven's Davey Browne (dec. 8-2) before bowing out to Owen Vernon of Centenary (dec. 6-2).

Pinto got off to a strong start himself with a 10-5 decision over Ithaca's Steven Andolena, before dropping to Vernon.  He went on to dominate his next two bouts with decisions over Johnson & Wales' Ethan Farrell (dec. 8-2) and Stephen Lauzon of WNEC (dec. 11-2). Pinto lost his final bout of the tournament to Signorelli by a 5-3 decision.
