贾斯汀 “Crazy Train” Rolfe was crowned New England heavyweight champion by way of an 8-round unanimous decision over Tracey “泰坦” 约翰逊 在主要事件.
Rolfe vs. Johnson II was a rematch of a 6-round majority draw last November in Quincy, 马萨诸塞州. A lot more was at stake in the rematch, 虽然, because the N.E. heavyweight title was on the line. Boston southpaw Johnson, the half-brother of Andrade, methodically boxed, while Maine-resident Rolfe came forward throwing bombs, and their contrast of styles made for a entertaining fight.
The elusive Johnson started finding his range in the fourth round, connecting with combinations as Rolfe appeared to tire, but he got his second wind and continued to be aggressive, often pinning Johnson on the ropes. The two evenly matched fighters went back and forth in the latter half of the fight, although Rolfe pressed the action and Johnson countered. Neither appeared to be hurt at any point during the bout., Both let loose in the eighth and final round, leaving nothing in the tank. Rolfe’s non-stop attack and turned out to be the difference in this match-up.
Ryan DiBartolomeo captured the vacant New Hampshire welterweight title, taking a 6-round split decision over Kris Jacobs, 在共同功能的事件. “I live in Massachusetts but all my fights (3-0-1) have been in New Hampshire and I train in Nashua (NH),” DiBartolomeo said after the fight. “Fighting in New Hampshire is like fighting at home and now I’m the New Hampshire welterweight champ.”
DiBartolemeo quickly came out of the corner and soon dropped Jacobs for an 8-count. Jacobs made it through the opening round, but he was unable to avoid the free-swinging DiBartolemeo’s strong right hand, peppering his opponents head, 在第二轮. Jacobs settled down in the third, picked-up the pace in the fourth, and started letting his hands go more in the fifth, landing more effectively on his aggressive foe. The two fighters went at it toe-to-toe in the final round and DiBartolemeo closed the show.
New England middleweight champion 肯德里克球, JR., fighting light heavyweight Tahuk Taylor, displayed his skill set to the maximum, blasting his opponent to the mat with a sweet straight right, again with a beautiful left hook, and he was about to close the show when refereeJackie Morell mercifully ended the fight with 13-seconds left in round one.
Popular junior welterweight 话筒 “坏男人” OHan, JR. did just about everything but stop gritty DeWayne智慧, who was penalized two points and officially floored once. But he survived, albeit losing a lop-sided 6-round unanimous decision to Ohan.
新英格兰金手套冠军 弗朗西斯 “Frank The Tank” 霍根 dismissed Rashan Wisdom, who went down on the canvas twice before his corner threw in the towel. Hogan is a tall, lanky southpaw who is well schooled and now 2-0 (2 科斯).
In a spirited fight, 不败轻重量级 Edet “Papito” Mkpanam (4-0, 3 科斯) was relentless against a game 索尔 “Spider” 阿尔梅达, one of the top mixed-martial-arts fighters in New England. Mkpanan dropped Almeida in the first two rounds on his way to a tough 4-round unanimous decision.

得克萨斯州轻重量级 布赖恩·维拉 淘汰 迈克·安德森 with a big right hand early in round one. 裁判 利奥·格斯特尔 immediately waved off the count right after Anderson hit the mat. 维拉, who is known for his participating in 竞争者 电视真人秀, has defeated world champions 塞尔吉奥·莫拉 (两次), then-undefeated 李兆 和 Serhiy Dzinziruk during his 16-year pro career.
Veteran junior middleweight Cliff “Magician” McPherson had no tricks for 泰隆 “石手” Luckey because he was disqualified in the second round by referee Morrell for repeated holding.
Opening the night was a cruiserweight match between 拉里 “杀手” 普赖尔 和 弗朗西斯科·内托. It didn’t take long for Pryor, whose cousin was the late, 名人堂成员 亚伦 “Hawk” 普赖尔, put down Neto with a nicely placed left hook.
