(L-R) – Mykquan Williams & Paul Cichon


HARTFORD (Octubre 27, 2021) – Unbeaten super lightweight prospect “Marvelous” Mykquan Williams (16-0-1, 7 KOs) has been on a long, strange trip in 2021, starting with his career-defining victory to date last January, desafortunadament, followed by a car accident resulting in a wrist injury, leading to the entrepreneurial launch of his “Marvelous” merchandise and products, and last Thursday he became a father for the first time.

“It’s been very frustrating,” Williams said about his injury. “Això és el que faig; Sóc un lluitador. At times it has been hard, and I’ve been frustrated the entire time. I’m eager to fight again, but I need to be patient. When the time is right and I’m back 100-percent, I’ll be back in the ring, amb optimisme, early next year. Ara, I have to build-up my wrist, strength-wise.”

Williams was in a car accident this past March 5º, in which he suffered a dislocated right wrist, popped into place that evening in the trauma unit. The next morning, Williams underwent surgery to insert four pins, which left him in a splint for 11 setmanalment, until the pins were removed May 15º. Therapy and exercises were all he could do, no boxing at all, until he returned to training, and he threw his first punch only three weeks ago.

When a boxer suffers a serious injury to his hands like Williams, it often leaves questions about his or her boxing future. No different for “Marvelous” Mykquan, as he admits.

“Personally,” Williams explained, “I worry about coming back close to where I was, but I keep faith and keep working. People have been very supportive. Sometimes I think about not being able to box again, but I try not to think about that, but that is positioned in my mind.”

“We’re in no rush,” Williams’ head trainer Paul Cichon noted. “We’re doing exactly what his doctors are saying. I believe he’ll be back stronger, and more focused than ever now that he has a son to consider. I think he’ll be back strong in 2022.”

Williams has taken advantage of his downtime to launch his “Marvelous Chili,” as well as a “Marvelous” clothing line and gear, and he’s also looking into purchasing property.

His is life was dramatically altered this past Thursday, when his girlfriend, Zuleyma, delivered his son, Attikus Williams, who weighed in at, as a ring announcer would say, a fit and ready 9-pounds.

As he prepares for his comeback, Williams and Cichon will promote an amateur show November 20º at a venue to be determined.
“We’re hosting the show to help kids at our gym, Manchester ROCS (en CT),” the DiBella Entertainment promoted Williams remarked. “We want to do a couple a year.”

The 23-year-old Williams has already overcome the murder of his father when Mykquan was only one, in addition to having his family house burned to the ground 10 anys més tard. A dislocated wrist has no chance of making him less than “Marvelous.”

Unbeaten Mykquan Williams staying in boxing shape as much as possible under pandemic conditions

Leave a comment

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Març 23, 2020) – Like most professional boxers, unbeaten super lightweight prospect“Marvelous” Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 KOs) is making the most out of a challenging situation, as he prepares for his unknown future in boxing.

The coronavirus has shutdown boxing worldwide. Events are suspended indefinitely, boxers restricted in terms of training, and the immediate future remains tenuous at best.

Unable to train at his gym, Manchester ROCS, which is closed due to a Connecticut state order, the 21-year-old Williams is handling this pandemic in a mature manner that belies his young age. No whining, no ‘poor me’ feelings.

”This is a difficult time for everybody, including those of us in boxing,” East Hartford (Connecticut) resident Williams said. “There’s no boxing on TV, nobody can compete, and everybody is isolated. It’s just unfortunate, but I’d rather be safe than sorry. Health concerns are and should always be the top priority.”

Williams hasn’t been in action since last October 24th, when he fought to a questionable eighth-round majority draw withTre'Sean Wiggins, in which Williams retained his World Boxing Council (CMB) Estats Units (USNBC) super lightweight title. Most observers felt that Williams deserved a win by decision.

Since the beginning of 2020, Williams had been training for an expected fight in the first third of the year, and he’s still training to stay in shape, albeit it not the same way as if he had a confirmed fight date.

“I’m still doing some training,” Williams explained. “I need to stay in shape for when the call comes after boxing returns. I’m in decent shape and when I get my next fight date, I won’t have to go from zero to get ready. I want to maintain 50 a 60 percent shape and then finish off training on schedule for my next fight.”

“I know Mykey has still been running,” Williams’ head trainerPaul Cichon added. “We’re going to be back training soon. I believe everything happens for a reason. Mykey and me had a conference call with (gerent) Jackie Kallen i (promotor) Lou DiBella, and we trust that, as soon as possible, Mykey will be back in action.”

Because Williams doesn’t turn 22 until this April 6, in addition to already being a pro boxer for nearly four years, his young boxing career figures to resume quicker and stronger than for many older boxers. Losing six months shouldn’t hinder a prospect like Williams as much as a veteran who may not have nearly as much comparable quality competitive time left in the ring.

“I’m not sure if age is that big an advantage,” Williams countered. “If some fighters were getting burned out because they were fighting a lot, taking time off, whether it’s due to the virus or not, a break may help them come back better and stronger than when they last fought.”

Williams was a five-time national amateur champion, compilar una 45-13 rècord amateur, highlighted by three Ringside World titles, in addition to gold medal performances at the National PAL and National Silver Gloves championship.

“I don’t know when boxing will return,” Williams concluded, “but boxing will never die. People will always want to see guys punching each other in the face. Boxing is a sport rich in tradition and, ara mateix, there is still a lot of talent coming up.”

And Mykquan Williams will be right at the head of that next wave when the boxing ban is finally lifted.

Celebrated manager Jackie Kallen predicts unbeaten Mykquan Williams will be her sixth world champion

Leave a comment

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Febrer 12, 2020) – Women’s pioneerJackie Kallen, the first and arguably most successful female manager in the boxing history, strongly believes unbeaten 21-year-old“Marvelous” Mykquan Williams (15-0-1, 7 KOs) will develop into her sixth world champion.

Williams, fighting out of East Hartford, Connecticut, is the reigning the World Boxing Council (CMB) United States super lightweight champion.

“Mykey has a lot of the qualities as some of the greats in boxing,” Kallen said. “He has some of the flash and speed of fighters like Ray Leonard, and the training habits and dedication of Thomas Hearns i Mike Tyson. He also has a killer smile and good looks like Hector Camacho, Sr.

“Mykey can go all the way to a world title. He has the speed, actitud, and heart, along with exceptional boxing ability. He has been groomed perfectly by his trainer, Paul Cichon, who has kept Mykey true to his style, working hard to perfect his skill. Mykey trains hard, eats right, and takes the game seriously.”

“Jackie’s very experienced and knowledgeable in boxing,” Williams remarked. “She’s worked with some great, world-class fighters, so she knows the route to take for me to get there.”

Cichon added, “I sought out Jackie as our manager because of her love for the sports, as well as the knowledge of that she brings to the table. She’s very well respected, as she certainly deserves to be.”

Boxing has dramatically changed since Kallen covered her first fight for a Detroit daily newspaper in 1978. The card showcased Hearns andMickey Goodwin.  She became an instant fan and wrote about boxing on a regular basis. A legendary trainer/manager based in Detroit, Emanuel Steward, hired her as a publicist for his famed Kronk Gym. Some of her best friends to this day are fighters who she worked with back then. She and Hearns still get together.

After serving as Kronk’s publicist for a decade, Kallen decided to branch out and she started managing fighters. Her first client was heavyweightBobby Hitz, who today is a successful promoter and restaurateur in Chicago. She went on to manage a group of Who’s Who fighters, incloent campions del mónJames Toney, Bronco McKart, Tom "Boom Boom" Johnson, Pinklon Thomas iNonito Donaire.

Kallen, who overcame sexism in the boxing industry, is best known, potser, for her working relationship with Toney, largely because her life during that period was the inspiration for the popular 2004 pel·lícula, Against the Ropes, starringMeg Ryan as Kallen.

“Boxing today is a totally different animal,” she explained. “That’s not to say it’s better or worse, just different. There used to be more gyms in every city, heavy amateur programs, lots of shows on television networks, and enough local club shows to keep a young fighter active. I had guys back then who fought 8 a 10 times a year, la qual, per descomptat, is almost impossible in 2020.

“There wasn’t as much information available on opponents either. If you were lucky, you could buy a tape. If the fighter hadn’t been on television, encara que, you were out of luck. There was no Internet, so there was nothing like BoxRec to check opponents’ records. You just had to believe the matchmaker. I had fighters expecting to fight a 14-4 guy who found out at the weigh in that he was actually 16-0.”

Boxa, likely the second-oldest profession, has continued to survive, albeit often on a roller-coaster ride.

“Today’s fighters are not as quick to fight each other as they were in the days of Hearns/Hagler/Leonard/Duran,” Kallen noted. “Back then, fighters wanted to really fight to be the best they could be. I see fighters today being more analytical and taking less chances.

“There are also more sanctioning organizations today. Back then it was most the WBA, WBC and IBF. Not to mention there was never one person who managed dozens and dozens of boxers at the same time. The game has definitely changed!"

Kallen, though is still heavily invested in the sport she loves. Confident Williams will be her next world champion, her dream is to be inducted into the Hall of Fame with Toney.

“In 1992,” Kallen concluded, “I was named ‘Manager of the Year’ and my love for the sport has never waned. As long as there is talent out there needing guidance, I will stay active.”

Unbeaten Mykquan Williams learned invaluable lesson for future

Leave a comment
Picture by Emily Harney / Team Williams

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Novembre 4, 2019) – The true test for a genuine boxing prospect is how he or she responds to adversity, whether it included a loss, cut, knockdown or, in the case of “Meravellós” Mykquan Williams, a disputed decision that tarnished his perfect pro record.

The 21-year-old Williams, ara 15-0-1 (7 KOs), was recently on the short end of a highly disputed eight-round draw with Tre'Sean Wiggins (11-4-3, 6 KOs), al “Broadway Boxing” main event held at Generoso Pope Athletic Complex on the campus of St. Francis College in Brooklyn.

Nobody claimed the questionable decision was highway robbery, encara, most non-partisan fans at the show, or those watching live on UFC FIGHT PASS®, felt Williams rightfully deserved to have his arms raised in victory. Despite having a blemish placed on his pro record, he didn’t suffer a loss, and did retain his World Boxing Council (CMB) United States super lightweight title.

Williams’ opponent was a southpaw with a five-inch height advantage. Once he felt Williams’ energia, especially in the liver, Wiggins went into survival mode, clutching and grabbing every time Williams got close.

Neither Williams nor his head trainer, Paul Cichon, was pleased when the judges’ scores were announced – 77-75 in favor of Williams, 76-76 dues vegades – for a majority draw. Never-the-less, both feel that this developmental lesson will pay dividends down the road.

“The plan was for me to work inside,” Williams said after the fight. “The first and second were feeling out rounds and then I’d adjust. I didn’t feel from the start that he could hurt me. I wanted to get inside and beat him with body punches. I did that but I think I played to the crowd a little too much. I’d change that if I could go back. And I would have let my hands go more, but I won this fight because I landed the harder, cleaner more effective shots throughout the fight. He just wanted to hold.

“I’m disappointed because I was defending my title, but I didn’t lose the fight and I still have my belt. I ll have a lot to learn and I’ll be back in the gym soon to fix errors I made so that I won’t have those issues my next fight.”

Cichon felt that Williams won five if not six rounds because he was the aggressor throughout the match. “Em va sorprendre,” admetre. “Mykye was the champion and I thought that he (Wiggins) would have needed to win convincingly to win rounds. No ho va fer. Mykye started using his double jab to get inside and then he killed his opponent’s body. The body shots brought Wiggins’ hands down. Mykye stalked and hurt him a few times.

“Mykye learned a valuable lesson like not letting the crowd get to him, and never letting up on the gas.Wiggins was smart. Every time Mykye got close to him, he grabbed him, especially after he felt Mykye’s powerful body shots. It may have been ugly, but he fought smart.”

Team Williams agrees that there’s no sense rushing Williams, després de tot, ell només 21, but that 2020 should be an active, career-changing year for the East Hartford (Connecticut) lluitador.

“I’m ready to fight at the next level,” Williams concluded. “El temps ho dirà. Styles make fights but I hurt him (Wiggins) several times.”

“We’ll jump back in the ring in early 2020,” Cichon added. “We’re looking to fight opponents with winning records, but not another six-foot southpaw.”

“I was very proud of Mykey,” Williams’ gerent Jackie Kallen comentat. It was a learning experience that will make him an even greater fighter. He is still undefeated and one of the top young prospects in the 140-pound division. The next year will be a pivotal one for him.”

MANCHESTER, Conn. (Agost 22, 2019) — Even dangerous thunderstorms and tornado warnings couldn’t deter fans from attending yesterday’s meet-and-greet and back to school backpack give-way with undefeated super lightweight prospect “Meravellós” Mykquan Williams, presented by DiBella Entertainment and Team Williams, at ROCS Gym in Manchester, Connecticut.

“Everything went very well,” a happy Williams said. “All the kids got a backpack and had a good time. My team made it possible for me to do it. Shout out to DiBella Entertainment, Wet Paint and Capital Bail Bonds. I did this event to give back to the community but, més important, help parents who may have a little bit of difficulty getting everything their kids need for school.”

Williams is the reigning World Boxing Council (CMB) United States super lightweight champion, que està puntuar Sense. 5 per l'Associació de Boxa dels Estats Units (Ajustar), i n. 12 by the North American Boxing Federation (NABF).

He is promoted by Lou DiBella, managed by Jackie Kallen i entrenat per Paul Cichon.

Alexis Santos (L) vs. Niall Kennedy
(totes les fotos d'Ed Diller / DiBella Entertainment)
Mashantucket, Connecticut (Setembre 16, 2017) – L'irlandès invicte Niall “Boom Boom” Kennedy va guanyar una controvertida decisió dividida de 10 rondes contra el campió defensor Alexis Santos per capturar el campionat de pes pesat de Nova Anglaterra ahir a la nit (Dissabte) esdeveniment principal de Broadway Boxing celebrat al Fox Theatre, al Foxwoods Resort Casino, a Mashantucket, Connecticut.
La Broadway Boxing La sèrie està promoguda per DiBella Entertainment i presentada per Nissan of Queens, Rellotges Azad, OPTYX, i Christos Steak House. Espectacle d'ahir a la nit, que va ser retransmès per FightNight LIVE a Facebook, va ser promogut en associació amb Murphys Boxing.
Kennedy (9-0, 5 KOs), lluitant fora de Galway, Irlanda, a través de Boston, va lluitar contra el Santos en una competició, baralla plena d'acció per rebre el N.E. títol per partitures de 96-93, 96-93, 93-96. La majoria d'aficionats assistents, fora dels partidaris irlandesos de Kennedy, i els mitjans de primera línia van sentir que Santos, de Lawrence, Massachusetts, tenia avantatge i mereixia la decisió.
Àrbitre Al LoBianco va restar un punt a Santos a la novena ronda per un cop baix molt qüestionable i no va poder dictaminar una caiguda quan semblava que les cordes van mantenir a Kennedy dret en un tremend augment de l'última ronda del dominico-americà..
En la baralla co-estel·lar, l'ex campió del món Shelly “Camí de Shelito” Vicente (20-1, 1 KO), de la Providència, Rhode Island, va derrotar a l'antic desafiador del títol mundial Àngel “Sense parar” Gladney (9-13-1, 6 KOs) en un partit de pes lleuger júnior. El colorit Vincent va ser l'agressor durant tota la baralla, tallant eficaçment l'anell, sortint i caminant per Gladney per una decisió unànime de vuit rondes (80-72, 80-71 dues vegades).
Shelly Vincent (L) va superar Angel Gladney
Estrella en ascens de pes welter de Connecticut “Meravellós” Mykquan Williams va millorar el seu rècord a 8-0 (4 KOs), llançant una blanquejada completa en una impressionant decisió unànime de sis rondes (tots 60-54) guanyar sobre un molt més experimentat i considerablement més alt Desallotjat “Lluitador de premis” Dixon (7-20-2, 2 KOs). Williams és un jove de 19 anys d'East Hartford que és estudiant de primer any al Manchester Community College.
Mykquan Williams (L) va anar cap a una altra victòria
2012 Ucraïnès olímpic Ievgen “El lleó ucraïnès” Khytrov (15-1, 13 KOs), lluitant des de Brooklyn, es va recuperar de la seva única derrota professional amb una victòria per decisió de vuit rondes gairebé en blanc (80-72 dues vegades, 79-73) sobre el seu sempre dur adversari súper mitjà, veterà provat a la batalla Derrick “Superhome” Finley (27-22-1, 18 KOs).
“Va ser diferent quan vaig començar a entrenar després d'una pèrdua,” Khytrov va dir després de la baralla. “Vaig començar a pensar més i treballar en la meva defensa; per lluitar molt més intel·ligent en lloc de només barallar-se, llançant cops de puny, com vaig fer abans de la meva pèrdua. Vaig venir als Estats Units fa quatre anys d'un país petit que no és ric per convertir-se en campió del món. Sento que he tornat al bon camí.
Ievgen Khytrov (R) es va recuperar amb una victòria sòlida
Calent perspectiva de pes welter júnior de Nova Anglaterra Adrià “Tonka” Sosa (5-0, 4 KOs) va augmentar a classe contra el mexicà Francisco “El mico” Mitjans (11-10, 7 KOs), i es va mantenir invicte mostrant el seu joc general, ofensivament i defensivament. Lluitant fora de Lawrence, Massachusetts, la 2014 N.E. El campió amateur Sosa va caure la Medalla amb un dret directe a la primera ronda, un cos astut disparat a la segona i el va acabar en la tercera amb un directe a la temple com a àrbitre. Al LoBianco va aturar immediatament l'acció.
Pes welter a favor del debut Nicky DeQuattro (1-0, 1 KO) i Timothy Wheeler (0-1) va participar en una baralla al carrer des de la campana d'obertura fins a DeQuartro, lluitant fora de Johnson, Rhode Island, va connectar amb una dreta de sobre que va deixar caure el seu rival de la ciutat de Nova York. Moments després, DeQuattro va desencadenar una combinació de quatre cops que va deixar caure Wheeler per un compte complet de 10.
La nit va començar amb un barnburner com a antic aficionat irlandès destacat Ray Moylette (6-0, 2 KOs) va mantenir intacte el seu registre professional invicte, però certament no va ser fàcil. Moylette va superar una derrota de segona ronda, tornar fort a la segona meitat de la lluita per prendre una decisió dividida de sis rondes contra el pes welter júnior del joc Donte Bryant (1-3-1, 1 KO).

BROADWAY BOXING RESULTS FROM FOXWOODS RESORT CASINO

Matt Remillard (R) continued his comeback last night with a big win at Foxwoods
(all pictures by Emily Harney / DiBella Entertainment)

Mashantucket, Connecticut (Juny 4, 2017) – The amazing comeback of Mate “Sharp Shooter” Remillard continued last night as the popular Connecticut lightweight stopped Fatiou Fassinou al Broadway Boxing headliner held in Fox Theater, al Foxwoods Resort Casino, a Mashantucket, Connecticut.
La Broadway Boxing La sèrie està promoguda per DiBella Entertainment i presentada per Nissan of Queens, Rellotges Azad, OPTYX, i Christos Steak House.
Remillard, 30, was the No. 2-ranked featherweight in the world in 2011, when he lost to future world champion Mikey García (LRTD11). Lluitant fora de Manchester, Connecticut, tonight’s fight was Remillard’s first in his home state in six-and-a-half years, due to him serving a five-year prison sentence. He returned to the ring this past April, taking an eight-round decision from Agustine Mauras, a Worcester, Massachusetts.
A la primera ronda, Remillard (25-1, 14 KOs) and the slick Benin-native, former WBC International Silver champion Fassinou (27-6-3, 14 KOs) got to know each other as both fighters were cautious. Remillard opened up in the second round, using his left to the body, dropping Fassinou in his corner during the final seconds. Remillard pressed the action in the third, peppering Fassinou around the ring in his familiar punishing style, putting Fassinou in his “Sharp Shooter” sights for target practice in the fourth. Fassinou failed to answer the bell for the fifth round.
“Against a southpaw, the left hook to the liver is there, a punch I’m known for,” Remillard commented after the fight. “He was a little sloppier than I expected. Em vaig sentir bé; Estic 24/7 in the gym. Maybe I’ll have one more fight this year to get in some rounds, and then get ready for a big 2018. I want a rematch with Garcia, a 135 o 140 lliura, 100-per cent. He owes me a rematch. The guy he beat wasn’t me.”
Ruslan Shamalov (L) & George Arias turned in the Fight of the Night
En la baralla co-estel·lar, two New York City-based heavyweights, 6’5″ Rus Ruslan Shamalov (4-1, 3 KOs) and Dominican “Gentleman” George Arias (7-0, 3 KOs), fighting out of Brooklyn and the Bronx, respectivament, put their undefeated records on the line. Shamalov’s power punches rocked the much shorter 5’11” Arias in the first round, but Arias stayed off the ropes and boxed much better in the second. The two fighters exchanged bombs throughout a terrific third round and, somehow, the fourth was even better with back-and-forth, non-stop action. The pace subsided slightly in the fifth round, setting the stage for a bombs-away sixth and final frame that didn’t disappoint.
Shamalov and Arias fought a furious pace, especially for heavyweights, in a legitimate six-round “Baralla de l'Any” candidat. Àries, the leader of Team Wash Em’ Up in the Bronx, won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54, 59-55, i 58-56.
“This win was humungous for me,” said an overjoyed Arias, after his first six-round fight. “Tenia un pla de joc, but once he hurt me in the first round, my heart took over and I just fought. I like to fight for the people, so I held on in the first instead of taking a knee.”
Mykquan Williams (R) celebrated his high school graduation a little early
Crowd favorite “Meravellós” Mykquan Williams (7-0, 4 KOs) gave himself an early high school graduation present as the East Hartford fighter defeated Nicaraguan welterweight Ariel “La Guerra” Vásquez (13-18-2, 9 KOs) in the former’s first six-round bout. The 19-year-old Williams, a five-time national amateur champion, is a budding star with tremendous upside. Poised beyond his years, Williams controlled the pace against his battle-tested southpaw opponent, que és 11 years Williams’ senior, displaying his vast arsenal of punches, especially his left-right combination that landed consistently. Williams’ fast hands exploded for the first time at the end of the second round, then he picked up his assault in the third, as he cruised to a six-round shutout decision, with three tallies of 60-54.
Williams graduates on Juny 20 from Prince Tech. “That was a good graduation present,” Williams va dir. “My hand speed played a big factor. He was a tough guy, especially for my first six-rounder.”
Jennifer Salinas (R) had too much for Marquita Lee
featherweight champion Jennifer “The Bolivian Queen” Salinas (20-4, 5 KOs) derrotat Marquita Lee (3-5) by way of a hard-fought six-round unanimous decision. Salinas, lluitant fora de la Providència, was the aggressor throughout, but Lee never took a backward step. Scorecards 59-55 dues vegades, i 58-56, all for Salinas.
Fighting a much more experienced and taller opponent from Africa, promising Lynn, MA prospect Khiry “TNT” Todd (5-0, 5 KOs) won his fifth pro fight, totes per nocaut. La 2016 campió dels Guants d'Or de Nova Anglaterra, Todd gained invaluable experience against cagey super welterweight Nicolas Sarouna (12-9-1, 9 KOs), of Togo, who took a knee after getting hit by a sneaky uppercut in the third round. Sarouna failed to beat the 10-count as Todd improved his perfect record, with a TKO stoppage at the 1:32 marca.
Radzhab Butaev left Abraham Alvarez on the mat in serious pain
Unbeaten Russian middleweight prospect Radzhab “The Python” Butaev (6-0, 4 KOs) was too much for Mexican Abraham “El Swift” Alvarez (20-11-1, 11 KOs). Butaev dropped Alvarez early with a vicious left hook, from which Alvarez never fully recovered. A brutal right to the liver put the Mexican on mat once again, in obvious pain, as referee Joey Lupino immediately waved off the fight at 1:05 de la primera ronda.
Cuban cruiserweight Luis “El lleó” García (15-0, 12 KOs) kept his perfect pro record intact with a first-round knockout of his outclassed Mexican opponent Felipe Romero (19-14-1, 13 KOs), lluitant fora de San Diego. Now living in Peekskill, Nova York, Garcia dropped Romero with an overhand right in the opening seconds and he never let up, consistently hurting Romero with a series of devastating rights. Garcia closed the show with a powerhouse uppercut, leading referee Johnny Callas to halt the action at the 1:48 marca.
Three-time Puerto Rican National Boxing team member José Román (4-0, 3 KOs) went the distance for the first time against a game William Hill (2-3), de Detroit. The skilled Puerto Rican super welterweight applied pressure from the opening bell, using a fierce body attack on Hill, who was trapped on the ropes for most of the fight. The judges tallied 40-36 dues vegades, i 39-37, all for Roman via unanimous decision.
##
DiBella Entertainment’s unbeaten featherweight contender Luis Rosa also fought en dissabte, headlining a card at the Floyd Little Athletic Center in his hometown of New Haven, Connecticut, facing Carlos Osorio, de Managua, Nicaragua. Rosa pressured his adversary throughout the contest, wearing him down with a steady attack to the body. Osorio was game and had a stiff jab, though the hometown favorite’s combinations on the inside helped to diminish the Nicaraguan’s punch output. Believing that Osorio had taken a great deal of punishment, the referee halted the contest at the 1:25 marca de la sisena ronda, awarding Rosa the TKO victory. Amb la victòria, Rosa improved to 23-0 (11 KOs), while Osorio’s record dropped to 13-7 (5 KOs).
