Australia via Kildare, WBA da Irlanda #12- e IBF # 11-classificado “Furacão” Dennis Hogan (21-0-1, 7 KOs) cruised to an entertaining and workmanlike 10-round decision over Philadelphia’s Tyrone “Young Gun” Brunson (22-5-1, 21 KOs) hoje à noite, no evento principal de “Campeonato de Boxe na CBS Sports Network” at the Grand Casino Hinckley in Hinckley, Minnesota.
Fighting in front of an appreciative sold-out crowd, Hogan outworked the careful Brunson in the majority of rounds to win by scores of 96-94, 98-92 e 97-93 and in the process, picked up the World Boxing Association’s NABA-US Super Welterweight Championship.
Hogan closed the show well and seemed to hurt Brunson with a series of clubbing shots. But Brunson was able to survive the onslaught.
Brunson, who seems to have morphed into a counter puncher since his days as the King of the KO 1 earlier in his career, had a good round eight and seemed to hurt Hogan with a right. He kept it interesting throughout by catching Hogan coming in with right hands.
Apresentado por Greg Cohen Promotions em associação com Cartão de Luta Promoções de Adão Wilcock e produzido pelo vencedor de David Schuster Take All Productions “Campeonato de Boxe na CBS Sports Network” was the debut CBS-televised effort from the promotional team.
Several thudding knockouts punctuated the rest of the night’s action.
In the night’s co-main event, lightweight slugger Ismael Barroso made quick work of Memphis, Tennessee veteran Ira Terry, knocking him out inside of a round.
The southpaw Barroso, de El Tigre, Venezuela, moved his record to 18-0-2, 17 KOs by flattening Terry (agora 26-14, 16 KOs) with a devastating left hand. Barroso’s reputation seems to grow with every frightening performance. Terry tried moving to his left and being elusive, but it only took one shot from Barroso’s cement fists. Referee Mark Nelson began a count when Terry went down, but quickly waved it off at 2:49.
Na abertura televisionado, Saint Paul, Minnesota, middleweight prospect Rob “Muito Bem” Ganso-bravo (15-0, 9 KOs)made surprisingly easy work of Miami via Colombia’s Dionisio Miranda (22-11-2, 19 KOs), dropping him for the full count at 2:40 da segunda rodada.
Brant showed superior quickness while landing his rangy shots form outside. A right hand started the trouble for the normally durable Miranda. The follow-up volley forced Miranda down and he elected, probably wisely, not to rise. The crowd-favorite Brant remains undefeated and now has a KO win over a quality mid-level opponent on his resume.
In what turned out to be a televised swing bout, American heavyweight prospect Jarrell “Big Baby” Moleiro, de Brooklyn, Nova Iorque, moved his impressive record to 12-0-1, 10 KOs by knocking out Nairobi, Kenya’s Raymond “King Kong” Ochieng (26-19-3, 21 KOs) em 1:40of the very first round.
Miller placed his heavy, accurate shots inside the wild swings of the game Ochieng and caught him with a strong combination against the ropes. Ochieng went down and referee Gary Miezwa waved it off without counting, probably prematurely.
mesmo assim, the charismatic Miller looked like a solid prospect taking out a useful veteran in Ochieng, who had gone 10 rounds with Alexander Petkovic in his last fight and handed 36-1 David Rodriguez a TKO 1 loss last July.
Santo António, Texas, super bantamweight Adam “Mantequilla” Lopez (11-0, 6 KOs) furthered his reputation as an up-and-coming prospect by levelling Saint Paul, Minnesota’s Philip Adyaka (4-5, 2 KOs) with a monstrous left hook at 58 seconds of round two. 24-year-old Lopez was too big and too powerful for the smaller Adyaka. Lopez impressed, showing off his world-class weaponry while banging to the head and body, especially with the left hook. Adyaka bravely tried to rise, but stumbled back into the ropes and the fight was waved off.
In a six-round heavyweight match-up, fan favorite Joey “Minnesota Ice” Um sino (30-8, 29 KOs) of nearby Coon Rapids, Minnesota, started his comeback by stopping journeyman Travis “Homem de Ferro” Fulton (22-39-1, 21 KOs) de Cedar Falls, Iowa in three rounds. Out of the ring for more than a year, the southpaw Abell finally shook off the rust and got through with a volley of punches against the ropes, which badly stunned Fulton. The came at 34 seconds with Fulton dazed but still standing. I’m starting over. I want to get a couple wins and hopefully get a big fight here,” said Abell, pós-luta. Infelizmente, Abell slipped awkwardly in the first round and reportedly suffered a serious ankle injury.
In a four-round, all-Minneapolis super heavyweight showdown to open the night, 316-lb Van “O Homem” Bom homem, agora 4-5-2, 4 KOs, picked up a good win over299-lb Brett Murphy, agora 1-1, 1 KO via TKO 2. Murphy was down in round one and twice more in round two. A tidy left uppercut was the finishing shot. O momento da paralisação foi 1:38.
