ATLANTIC CITY (Februari. 20, 2016) - Adam "Butter" Lopez (15-0, 7 KO), San Antonio, Texas, remained unbeaten and took another step toward becoming a full-fledged contender by winning a hard-fought unanimous 10-round decision over previously undefeated Mario “Yayo” Muñoz (16-1-1, 10 KO), van Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, in Vrijdagmain event op ShoBox: The New Generation live op SHOW TIMEvan de Adrian Phillips Ballroom in Historic Boardwalk Hall.
“Lopez punched harder and controlled the tempo," ShoBox deskundige analist Steve Farhood zei. “He overcame the problem with his right eye and now he’s 3-0 with three undefeated fighters on ShoBox, so he’s indeed a prospect to watch.”
The highly regarded Lopez, making his third ShoBox appearance and main event debut, survived a nasty cut over his right eye to win by the scores of 98-92 tweemaal en 97-93. Er waren geen knockdowns.
“This was my toughest fight as a pro and I think I proved a lot,'' Zei Lopez, who entered the ring as the WBA No. 8 contender at 122 pond. “I showed I could fight through a lot of adversity. The cut in my eye was definitely a factor for my performance in a couple of rounds, but I put the pedal to the medal and got through it. I landed the more telling shots.
“This is the kind of fight I can learn from. Fighting through the cut and all the head butts, and still persevering. These are the kinds of fights that make fighters better. You don’t learn a thing by blowing guys out.
“Muñoz was a good fighter and landed some tight shots on me, but I was definitely the better fighter and there was no question I would get the decision. I thought I might stop him in the eighth or ninth, but it didn’t happen.’’
There was little known about Muñoz going into Vrijdag, but the mystery man from Mexico who was making his United States debut and first start outside of Mexico performed well and showed solid skills and ability.
“I’m very disappointed in the decision,’’ Muñoz said. “I’m a better fighter than he is. I landed more combinations. My face is unmarked, look at his. He hurt me more from his low blows and head butts than he did with his punches. I’d love to fight him again.’’
With the defeat, Muñoz became the 142nd boxer on ShoBox to suffer his first defeat. Two fights earlier, Lavisas “Red Williams (8-1-1, 3 KO), van Rochester, N.Y., werd 141st ShoBox boxer to suffer his initial setback when he lost by seventh round TKO to O'Shaquie "Ice Water" Foster (10-1, 7 KO), van Oranje, Texas.
Bevorderen, een voormalig amateur opvallende, rebounded from a poor outing in hisShoBox debut to register a seventh-round TKO over Williams. Foster dropped the outclassed southpaw four times. After the final knockdown in the seventh, the fight was stopped at 52 seconden in de ronde.
In the co-feature of a ShoBox quadrupleheader, ongeslagen super middengewicht Ronald “Flatline” Ellis (12-0-1, 10 KO), van Lynn, Massa., and Washington D.C.’s Jerry "The King's Son" Odom (13-2-1, 12 KO) fought to a hard-fought eight-round majority draw. A close, competitive contest throughout was scored 78-74 for Ellis and 76-76 een stuk.
In de opening strijd van de uitzending, John “Madman” Magda (11-0-1, 7 KO), van Rutherford, N.Y., and Philadelphia’s Christopher “Ice Cold” Brooker (7-1-1, 5 KO) fought to a disputed eight-round split draw in a super middleweight matchup that most felt Brooker won. Bij de finish, one judge had it for Magda (77-74), one had it for Brooker (78-74) and one had it even at 76-all.
“I thought that was a terrible decision,'' Farhood zei. “The judges were all over the place. I think Brooker did enough to win. He was the more aggressive fighter and landed the bigger punches. I was very surprised by the result that it was a draw.”
Ellis, a five-year-pro who hurt his right hand at the end of the third, was pleased with his overall performance, not so much the result.
“I think I did a good job vanavond,’’ said Ellis, the older brother of welterweight prospect Rashidi Ellis who’d won four straight by knockout, including a second-round TKO over Jas Phipps in his last start last Augustus. 29. “I started strong and I showed that I belong here, in a nationally televised show. I’m happy with what I did.
“I showed vanavond that I can counter a busy fighter. I can take a punch. I can also be a boxer-puncher. Odom tried to do his thing at the beginning, but he just couldn’t do it with me. I followed my trainer’s advice. I punched, I stood back. I used my left hook. I think I really hurt him a couple times.
“I won that fight. I’m sure. Als eerste, I banged with him and then I showed my boxing. It was easy in there, I won that fight. Hij me nooit kwaad. I’ll be back. You will be seeing a lot of me in the future.”
Odom, een top amateur en 2012 Nationale Golden Gloves Kampioen op 178 pounds who was looking to turn it around after losing two of his last three, was content with the decision although he felt he’d won his first fight in seven months.
“I can’t be disappointed with the decision because I fought my heart out.’’ Odom said. “I know I hurt him. He hurt me a bit in the second, but I got back on my feet and I kept on going.
“I feel I pulled it out in the last rounds. I worked the body, I think I did some damage. Ellis looked hurt.
“I mean no disrespect, but I felt I definitely did enough to win, but the judges saw it differently.”
Said Farhood: “Ellis-Odom was a strange fight. At times it was a brawl, and at times it was a boxing match. Af en toe, one fighter came forward and at times the other fighter came forward. I thought Odom did enough in the last couple of rounds to salvage a draw and it turns out that is what the judges scored, a draw. Zo, I think the judges got it right on that fight.”
Foster decked Williams in the second, third, fourth and seventh rounds. Three of the knockdowns appeared to result from a push, but Williams’ gloves touched the canvas each time so they went into the books as knockdowns.
“I think it was a great win for Foster, because he looked so bad when he fought on ShoBox last time outdoor in Las Vegas,'' Farhood zei. “And this kind he showed the kind of skills that enable him to be a good amateur. He showed the kind of skills that will make him a legitimate prospect as a pro. It was a very good win for him. He showed speed. He showed his movement, his boxing abilities and he scored four knockdowns, and you can’t ask for much better than that.”
“This is a huge relief for me,’’ Foster said. "Ik voel me geweldig. I think people saw a glimpse of the kind of fighter I can be vanavond. That wasn’t me in my first ShoBox gevecht. I don’t know if I froze under the lights or if I lost because of the cold weather outside, but I wasn’t nearly as confident for that fight as I was vanavond and it affected my performance.
“I had a tremendous training camp, my best camp ever, which played a big part in my confidence vanavond. I thank God for the opportunity to fight on national television again and I’m already looking forward to the next time.’’
The previously undefeated Williams confessed he was unable to his rhythm. “For some reason, I just could not get loose. I had a cold, but I won’t take anything away from Foster. He knocked me down, but I actually thought he pushed me down most of those times.
“I learned something vanavond. I can’t do what I did. I can’t wait on my opponent. I have to attack first. I’ll be will be back.”
There were no knockdowns in the Brooker-Magda battle. One judge scored it for southpaw and local favorite going in, Magda 77-74, one had it 78-74 for Brooker and one had it 76-76 even.
After a few rounds of solid back-and-forth exchanges, Brooker seemed to dominate in the eyes of everyone but the judges. De ShoBoxannouncers had Brooker a close but clear winner and the fans booed the decision. According to SHO STATS, Brooked outpunched and outlanded Magda by a significant margin. Brooker landed 152 van 481 stoten (32 procent) while Magda connected on 78 f 268 (29 procent).
Brooker was visibly upset with the verdict.
“I don’t train eight hours a day, seven days a week to get this kind of decision. That was not a draw, I clearly won the fight,'' Hij zei. “I don’t want to take away from Magda. He’s strong fighter and he countered well, but I showed everybody that hard work beats talent any day.
“I won this fight. I was the aggressor. I threw some big punches. My right was key. In the beginning Magda was fast, but I placed my punches and I know I did enough to win the fight.’’
“I feel OK, but this was a tough fight,” said Magda. “He stayed on me and pressed forward, which we knew he would. But he was stronger than I thought. I’ll have to watch the tape again, but I thought I landed the more effective punches.’’

Here’s what the fighters said Donderdag:
ADAM LOPEZ
“This is my third time on ShoBox and my third fight against an undefeated fighter. They like to match me tough but I must confess, Ik kijk er echt naar uit.
“I know I only had 14 gevechten, but I truly feel I feel I’m ready for a major fight or a title shot at the end of year. I have a strong amateur background, so I have experience. There are a lot of good fights right now at 122 pond. The division is hot.
“I fought at 118 last time so I can make that weight if the right opportunity comes, but I am strong at 122. I thought I clearly won my last fight. I don’t think it was as close as the judges said it was.
“I’m fighting a guy, Munoz, who is sort of a mystery to me. I’ve seen one tape of him, but it was from 2012. So I don’t really know how he’s fought recently.
“He seems to want to box and slug. He’s had some good performances in the past and fought some good ones so I won’t take nothing away from him and I do respect him.
“But I’m prepared to make the fight and be aggressor if necessary, and to win it any way that I have to. Mijn trainer [former two-time world champion Carlos “Famous” Hernandez] continues to work on all the little things, and trains me for anything that might come my way..
“I feel that I’ve moved from prospect to contender, maar een overwinningmorgen night should prove that to everybody.”
MARIO MUÑOZ
“This is my first fight in nine months and first in America, which is very exciting. You have to fight in the United States eventually; this is where you become known.
“I know that I’m in top shape. I’ve fought some good guys in my division, and I’m at the level I need to be. I had a really hard training camp; I know what I’m supposed to do.
“I’m grateful for this opportunity. I know a lot of people haven’t heard of me, but I promise you a good fight.
“I’m more of a boxer than a puncher, but I love to exchange and switch stance to southpaw, although my trainer doesn’t like it.
“Lopez is very fast, smart and has a great left hand. But I’m ready for all that. I’ll look at what he has to offer and counter with my best.
“I’m a little nervous. Things are moving fast now. But I couldn’t be more ready.’’
RONALD ELLIS
“I’ve been working for this sort of opportunity since I was 13, dus, ja, I am very excited. I want to win and look good doing it so promoters and television will want to see me again.
“I’ve had problems in the past getting opponents, so I’ve taken a few ‘stay busy’ fights. But this fight is a totally different story.
“Everyone says I’m a boxer-puncher, and I do feel I am versatile. I’ll decide how I want to go the night of the fight. We know how Jerry’s gonna fight so I need to fight him smart. We’ll see how Odom’s chin is because it’s going get tested morgen nacht.
“I only had 24 amateur gevechten, but I am dedicated and continuing to improve with each fight. It will be a great night for me. I’m looking forward to putting on a good show.’’
JERRY ODOM
“Everybody has to make changes so I have a new trainer, Kennie Johnson, voor deze strijd. He has been trying to stress finesse, movement and utilizing my overall skills more, with less emphasis on just trying to load up and knock the guy out.
“We’re working on me picking shots, breaking down opponents and setting up the power shots rather than just show it. Defensively, he’s had me working on my overall movement, head movement in particular.
“I’m looking to shine op vrijdag, especially after my last ShoBox fight that I lost. I should have never taken the fight once he came in so overweight. It was a bad business decision on my part, but I learned – no more thinking with my heart.
“I got over my last fight right away and I’m anxious to do my job and show how much I gained and learned from it. I certainly feel ready. My only focus is to win.
“Ellis should be a good opponent for me. Obviously he has power, a good jab and punches. There are some good things about him, but I’m better. I’ll go out and execute, he won’t be able to stop me.’’’
LAVISAS WILLIAMS
“I’m naturally lefty … I’ve sparred against ambidextrous boxers, so I like to say I’m ready for anything that comes my way.
“I’m excited to be debuting on national television. That’s a pretty big deal for me so I need to put a great show. Especially for my fan base back home, they are all going to be watching.
“I take boxing seriously. I like to say I’m very dedicated. I take advantage of any opportunity I see. I trained at Mayweather Boxing Gym in Las Vegas for a bit last year. It was a good experience.
“My job is to frustrate him and trust me, Ik zal. He will fight my fight. If he freezes again, I’m sure taking advantage of that, but I’m not counting on it.
“I’m going in knowing I’m the better boxer, but not overconfident. You can’t overlook anybody, but I know I’m the one that’s coming out victorious.”
O’SHAQUIE FORSTER
“I don’t know what happened in my last fight. I thought everything was OK but I just couldn’t find my fight rhythm. I couldn’t get off for some reason. But I am done thinking about that night.
“I’m definitely more focused this time around and in better shape. I need a win – and I’m fighting a guy who beat the guy that beat me, Samuel Seah. Zo, I have to be smart. He’s a southpaw but I can deal with that.
“I’ve never worked so hard in camp. I left Texas to go to Washington D.C. to train for this. Ik ben 100 percent set to go.
“I need a challenge and this is it. I’m ready to step up and I’m ready for him.”
JOHN MAGDA
“I’m excited and ready to go. Right now I’m looking at this as just another fight, but it’s definitely a big, big deal. I’m hoping to win and put on an exciting show.
“I’ve been in the gym training since November but a series of unfortunate events took place and I didn’t fight that month, or in December, or in January. Zo, I’ve been training for a while. Ik ben klaar om te vechten.
‘I’m in with a rough, stoere vent. I can’t let him bully or push me around; I just can’t let him stand and throw.
“I need to box, move, do a lot of things I know I can do. I have to see how it plays. It’s all just a matter of me doing what I am supposed to do, whether it is to box or slug. I’m ready for it.’’
CHRISTOPHER BROOKER
“I love being the underdog; I’m accustomed to it. That’s why I work so hard, remain dedicated and will not ever quit.
“Magda throws a lot of punches, so you can’t expect him to stay on the outside. But I run 15 miles a day, three days a week after sparring, to get into the kind of shape I need to be in and am for this fight.
“This is my first fight against a southpaw, but I’ve had southpaw sparring, including some recently with [voormalig wereldkampioen] Andre Dirrell. I learned so much from him.
“I’m a Philly fighter through and through: I may not be a favorite to win, but I come to war and will never give up. That’s a lot like the way I grew up when living in foster homes — and later, dakloos, for some time. I just not give up, I keep on fighting.
“There’s a lot on the line for me deze vrijdag and I am ready to show what I can do.’’

De Tornado Verslag van The Valley Forge Casino – Juni 20, 2015
Wilson KO's Caputo te winnen PA State Cruiserweight titel
Door Tony “De Tornado” Penecale (Eerste rang)
Wanneer u een bokswedstrijd tussen strijders genaamd "The Bull" en "The Ultimate Warrior ondertekenen,” it is inevitable that a slugfest will ensure. “The Bull vs The Ultimate Warrior.” In the words of Apollo Creed, it "klinkt als een monster film."
Aan de voorzijde van een enthousiaste menigte bij de Valley Forge Casino, met de vacante Pennsylvania State cruiserweight titel op het spel, Garrett "The Ultimate Warrior" Wilson en Anthony "The Bull" Caputo Smith gevoerd 8 minuten knokpartij, eindigend met een hoogtepunt-reel knock-out.
Wilson (rechtsboven), 195, van Philadelphia, kwam in de wedstrijd uit een dappere vertoning tegen de ongeslagen Vyacheslav Shabranskyy. Over de ring was een buurt kloon van zichzelf in de gedrongen en agressief Caputo Smith, 197, van Kennett Square, PA. It was an intriguing matchup between two throw-back fighters trying to rebound from some tough losses and secure a spot as a contender.
The bout opened with both fighters charging out of their corners like a couple of high-mountain rams and locking horns in the center of the ring. Neglecting there was a full ring to operate in; Wilson en Caputo Smith stonden hun mannetje, trading stoten in het midden van de ring.
Terwijl Smith agressiever, Wilson nauw won de eerste ronde door het gooien van een hoger volume van stoten aan de binnenkant, winging right hands to the head and landing short body shots. Wilson’s success continued in the 2nd ronde, als hij landde een volume van harde hakken rechten op het lichaam, verlaten striemen rond ribbenkast Caputo Smith's.
Tijdens een uitwisseling van links haken, Wilson landde net een beetje sneller, dropping Caputo Smith to a knee. Caputo Smith bounced up and was ready to resume his head-first attack. Wilson started to change his tactics, met behulp van een stijve jab agressie Caputo Smith's ontkrachten, tekenen bloed uit de neus Caputo Smith's.
Underage Terre–en met een krijger-geest van zijn eigen–Caputo Smith kept applying the pressure and engaging Wilson on the inside. Opnieuw, als twee rammen, they locked horns in the center of the ring. In a flash, Wilson deed een stap terug en ontketende een homerun uppercut, storten Caputo Smith plat op zijn rug, his head thudding off of the canvas. As the referee Shawn Clark counted, Caputo Smith vainly pulled himself to his feet. Despite courageously beating the count, Hij was niet in staat om verder te gaan, dwingt Clark om het gevecht aan het stoppen 1:41 mark.
Wilson, de nieuwe PA State cruiserweight kampioen, nu 14-9-1 (8 KO's) terwijl Caputo Smith daalt tot 15-5 (10 KO's).
In andere periodes:
* Milton Santiago, slechts een week na zijn high-school afstuderen, had een korte schrikken in het winnen van een unaniem besluit over Jose Miguel Castro.
Santiago, net 18 jaar oud, concurreerde in zijn 11th professionele gevecht, en zijn jeugdige volwassenheid en vertrouwen doet denken aan een jonge Wilfred Benetiz, wie wereldkampioen was toen hij alleen was 17.
Santiago, 140, van Philadelphia, boxed soepel en beheerst het tempo tegen Castro, 138, van Carolina, Puerto Rico. Try as he might, Castro kon geen ritme tegen de stijlvolle Santiago niet vinden.
Het enige probleempje Santiago kwam in de 2nd ronde, toen toen hij een back-up; Hij werd geknipt op de kin, sending him to the canvas for a brief count. Upon rising, Santiago herwonnen de controle, boksen meesterlijk.
Voor zijn deel, Castro altijd blijven proberen, de landing een mooie uppercut in de 4th ronde, en zette zijn wanhopige agressie door de 5th en 6th. But no matter what he did, Santiago was slechts een stap of twee voor hem en kruiste onderaan de rek, winnen op alle drie de kaarten door identieke scores van 59-55.
Santiago verbetert tot 11-0 (3 KO's) zoals Castro daalt tot onder .500 en is nu 4-5 (2 KO's).
* Meest vermakelijke wedstrijd van de avond was een zes-round knokpartij tussen ongeslagen Erik Spring, 153, Reading PA, en boos-minded Robert Sweeney, 154, Hampton VA.
Het duel-linkshandige begon snel, beide staan tegenover elkaar, trading punches on near-even terms with Spring just a little bit better. Sweeney pressed the action in the 2nd ronde, en Spring was bereid om zijn grond en de teller punch staan.
De intense en zeer competitieve bout voortgezet als een strijd van recht-haken in de 3rd round with the crowd enjoying the entertaining scrap. As the 4th round begonnen, het adembenemende tempo nam zijn tol met zowel gevechten nemen diep adem als ze bleven aan de macht te stoten te wisselen.
De strijd was dicht gaan in de laatste twee rondes, but Spring was just a little bit better down the stretch. The final bell was a welcome respite for the weary warriors.
Spring werd beloond met een unaniem besluit overwinning door scores van 58-56, 59-55, en een verrassend breed 60-54, het verbeteren van zijn ongeslagen record naar 6-0 (1 KO), als Sweeney valt op 3-3.
* Hafiz Montgomery bracht een enthousiaste groep van supporters voor zijn professionele debuut en hij sprintte naar de ring te ontmoeten tegen taaie gezel Brian Donahue.
Montgomery, 207, van York, PA, was sneller en meer gepolijst dan de slappe Donahue, 203, van Philadelphia. Donahue was tevreden te gooien breed, single punches. Montgomery attacked in the 2nd rond en landde een paar body shots, maar zijn tempo begon te vertragen als de ronde vorderde met Donahue landing een paar jabs.
Het tempo aanzienlijk vertraagd in de 3rd en 4th rounds with a tired Montgomery landing a few punches and the slower Donahue offering a few sneers in return. It was no surprise as all three judges scored 40-36, toekennen van Montgomery zijn debuterende overwinning, het verzenden van zijn aanhangers in een juichende razernij.
Montgomery wint zijn pro-debuut en is nu 1-0 terwijl Donahue valt op 3-13-2.
* John Madge nam de volgende stap in zijn professionele carrière, zet zijn ongeslagen record tegen de taaie en ervaren 35-fight veteraan Dionisio Miranda.
Madge, 167, van Rutherford, NJ, vond een vroeg thuis voor zijn southpaw rechte links, splitsen van zijn tegenstander bewaker en landing flush tegen Miranda, 169, van Miami, FL. Not to be discouraged, Miranda landde een paar goede handen laat in de ronde.
De wedstrijd viel in een patroon met Madge landing een paar goede combinaties doorspekt met zijn laser linkerhand, terwijl de langzamere Miranda probeerde naar beneden en balie met rechts hard, maar niet frequent handen zitten.
Miranda had zijn beste succes in de 4th rond met een paar goede rechter handen vroeg, maar Madge weer snel het momentum. Zijn superieure vaardigheid en werktempo waren genoeg om de actie in de laatste twee rondes te controleren.
Madge kruiste tot een unaniem besluit te winnen door scores van 59-55 en 60-54 twee keer en blijft ongeslagen op 11-0 (7 KO's), terwijl Miranda daalt tot 22-12-2 (19 KO's)
* Een andere ongeslagen vooruitzicht, Earl Newman, maakte de meeste van zijn kans om indruk te maken door het vernietigen veteraan Lamont Capers in vijf brutale rondes.
Newman, 177, van Brooklyn, NY, begon de wedstrijd eerder traag, waardoor Capers, 177, van Hawley, PA, to disrupt his momentum by clinching after each punch thrown. Newman started to warm to the task in the 2nd ronde, working behind a stiff jab and penetrating Capers defense with thudding body shots. A thunderous body shot suddenly drove the air from Capers, vouwen hem op het doek.
Newman hield de aanval op de uitgeputte Capers in de 3rd ronde, and the only respite came when Capers took a low blow. The extra minute to recover did very little for him as he continued to take punishment. By the 4th ronde, Capers was pure survival mode met Newman landing een reeks van vijf rechte uppercuts, verzenden Capers op het doek voor de 2nd tijd.
Newman kwam op zoek naar de doden in de 5th ronde, punishing Capers throughout the round before finally flooring him for the third time with a big uppercut. Capers managed to climb to his feet, maar gaf aan scheidsrechter Blair Talmadge dat hij genoeg had, gevraagd een onmiddellijke onderbreking, in de 2:56 mark.
Newman blijft ongeslagen 6-0 (5 KO's) met kappertjes uitglijden op 5-7.
* Uit om zijn vaardigheden te demonstreren was een andere ongeslagen vooruitzicht; Stephen Fulton was indrukwekkend in de ontmanteling van Pablo Cupul over drie eenzijdige rondes.
Fulton, 123, van Philadelphia, verspilde geen tijd bij het nemen van de strijd om Cupul, 120, van San Diego, ZOALS. Fulton quickly found a home landing his jab to the body and arching his right hand over Cupul’s low left hand, landing it with ease. Despite his courage, Cupul was gewoon te traag en te wijd open om te concurreren.
Het werd nog erger voor de bezoekende vechter in de 2nd ronde, als Fulton besloten om een linkse hoek en stoten op het lichaam toe te voegen aan zijn arsenaal, landing virtually every punch he threw. The beating continued through the 3rd rond met Fulton in dominerende command, leaving a badly swollen and beaten Franco wobbling back to his corner. His corner and the doctor decided the punishment over three rounds was more than enough, het stoppen van de bout voor de 4th ronde.
Fulton houdt ook zijn ongeslagen record bewaard gebleven en is nu 6-0 (3 KO's) en de veteraan Cupul dips aan 8-18 (5 KO's).
* Samuel Quinones bracht het vuurwerk naar Valley Forge een paar weken voor de 4th Juli, en Shiwone Gortman was de ongelukkige ontvanger van zijn grote finale.
Quinones, 149, van York, PA moest een vroege aanval van Gortman overleven, 147, van Grand Prairie, MIJN, die uit de hoek te gooien wilde bestormden, ineffective punches. Quinones established control late in the round with a combination at the bell.
Quinones begonnen op grond die bonkend lood links haken in de 2nd round terwijl Gortman werd gereduceerd tot het gooien van slow, single punches. With Gortman breathing heavily, Quinones stapte in met een vicieuze bovenhandse recht in de 3rd ronde, depositing Gortman flat on his back. It didn’t last much longer as Quinones attacked his wounded prey, dwingen Blair Talmadge om het gevecht te stoppen.
Quinones verhoogt zijn record naar 9-3 (4 KO's) terwijl Gortman is nu 4-8-1 (2 KO's).
In een slordige affaire, Jack Grady en Kevin Garcia streden om een betwiste vier-ronde gelijkspel.
Grady, 138, Buffalo NY, een lang en slungelige vechter met onhandige beweging en amateuristisch vaardigheden begon snel, throwing long and sloppy punches. Garcia, 135, Phoenixville PA, landde een paar counters.
Garcia slowly gained control as Grady tired with the bouts spiraling into a crude affair. After four uninspiring rounds, it seemed as Garcia had secured his second professional victory. One judge agreed, awarding him the win by the score of 39-37. Unfortunately for him, de andere twee rechters konden niet beslissen over een winnaar, draaien in scores van 38-38, met de wedstrijd wordt uitgeroepen tot een meerderheid gelijkspel.
Garcia is nu 1-1-1 en Grady is nog puntloos op 0-1-1.
Het evenement, bevorderd door Marshall Kauffman Kings Promotions, was again an entertaining show with an appreciative crowd. The Valley Forge Casino is a fan-friendly place to see a boxing match and there was a lot of mingling going on after the show. Garrett Wilson was wearing his newly-won belt, handen schudden, and taking photos with friends and fans. His career has been rejuvenated and his smile showed a man that was happy to be back on the right path. His eyes showed a man who knows he is now a target with that belt around his waist. It is exciting to see who he will fight next and where “The Ultimate Warrior” will go from here.
