Twitter Recap
It was just plain zero
degrees or colder outside the Mohegan
Sun in Uncasville, CT, but things heated up quickly inside the arena as ESPN2's Friday Night
Fights Boxcino Tournament Quarter Finals got underway. As is our tradition
here, if we covered an event live and tweeted details from ringside we like to
post a recap the following day for any of you anti-social-media
types. Here is a chronological recounting of our live-tweets from
ringside, made slightly more grammatical and a little bit less hashtaggie.
You can follow us on Twitter here
LIVE! from @MoheganSun time for pro #boxing bout number 1 is about to get underway,
4 rounds Lightweights Oscar Bonilla vs. Angel Martinez
Oscar Bonilla really
going after the mid-section of Angel Martinez in round 1, Martinez holding him
off with straight punches
Angel Martinez fights
out of Austin, Texas and Oscar Bonilla fights out of New Haven, CT
much better 3rd for
Bonilla who tucked his chin, came forward & stayed focused on the ribs of
Martinez with success. close fight
close 4th & this
could well be a draw. Bonilla did best when pressing/crowding & Martinez
controlled the distance needing more room to punch
39-37 for Bonilla,
38-38 x 2 it's a Majority Draw. Good effort from both young men and really no
one deserved to lose that. And they didn't.
Bout number 2 coming
up, Junior Middles, Khiary Gray-Pitts of Worcester, MA vs. Rodrigo Almeida of
Woburn, MA
Gray-Pitts digging to
the body of Almeida who looks just fleshy enough to give Gray-Pitts some doubts about his
conditioning; and so does Almeida...
Rodrigo Almeida quit on
the stool after the assault of ripping shots to the belly from Gray-Pitts in round
1
with the TKO after one round Gray-Pitts improves to 5-0
(3) while Almeida falls to 1-2
New Haven, CT's own
Jimmy Williams is up now against Eddie Caminero of Lawrence, MA, 6 rounds,
middleweights #FNF
 |
| Williams (in red) eyeballs Caminero |
Big first round for
Jimmy Williams who had Caminero hurt and reeling but never off his feet
Caminero took advantage
of punched-out Williams in that 2nd, both guys slugging it out and Caminero
landed 2 decent shots & rung JW's bell
Williams is in a
struggle here, he's been hurt and the anxiety seems to be winning out, sloppy
slugging third that favors scrappy Caminero..
Williams still landing
big shots and likely up 2-1 on cards...likely
Holy crap! huge left
hook lands for Jimmy Williams just when he needed it! Ref Mike Ortega calls it
off at 2:26 of round number 4

early results from Mohegan Sun #FNF #Boxing... http://fb.me/4kXOQ85bp
sorry for the delay
folks, we're waiting on Television here! #FNF
we're getting closer 2
starting the #Boxcino2015
tourney, tonight features the quarter finals of the 155 pound division: 4
bouts, 8 fighters
and here comes the
Ukrainian, Stanyslav Skorokhod, 153 3/4 lbs, vs. Cleveland's Michael Moore, 154
3/4 lbs. Bout 1 #Boxcino2015
 |
| Moore (in red) tries to fend of Skorokhod |
Skorokhod is fighting
this Michael Moore http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=525849&cat=boxer … not the other @MMFlint
careful 1st from both
men, Skorokhod got his right in several times, probably enough to win the rd
versus the southpaw MM
Skorokhod really
pressing matters here, battering Moore with both hands
Dr. Anthony Alessi is
up on the ring apron and observing the Moore corner between rounds
a speedy right to the
jaw at the start of round 3 puts Michael Moore onto the seat of his pants; Ref.
Ortega let's him continue...
Moore doesn't look
right. He's walking away on spongy legs; the Ukrainian walking him down
this might be it,
wouldn't be shocked if the corner halts things. Moore taking a lot of shots
with no answers, no fire
getting into the area
where Skorokhod needs to wrap this up
ooooh, he scores
another knockdown off a right hand. Ortega let's it go, Moore is badly hurt.
That's it, Ref. Ortega is halting it, TKO 4
Stanyslav Skororkhod
improves to 9-0 (7) with a TKO win @ 1:03 of rd 4, Michael Moore goes back to
Cleveland via East Haven CT @ 13-1 (6)
Bout 2, Ricardo Pinell
of San Francisco, CA, versus late sub John Thompson of Newark, NJ #Boxcino2015 #FNF
Thompson landed a heavy
barrage in the second, Pinell just seemed to absorb it and keep coming.
round 3 begins, John
Thompson versus Ricardo Pinell...
Thompson punishing the
right side of the waist of Pinell with hard left hooks
If you started watching
this fight without knowing who the late sub was you would swear it was Ricardo
Pinell and not John Thompson #FNF
John Thompson was
stopped in 2 by hot prospect Frank Galarza less than a month ago and came here
with a chip on his shoulder #FNF
a few boo birds have
made themselves heard after 5, both guys looked to be trying to conserve some
energy in that round; Thompson winning
*the loss 2 Galarza in
Thompson's last fight actually came back on January 17, Twenty-Fourteen NOT
less than a month ago as i tweeted earlier
we go to the scorecards
in Bout number 2 of #Boxcino2015
likely winner here is late replacement John Thompson but we shall see...
all 3 judges see it the
same way 60-54 in favor of John The Apollo Kidd Thompson who advances in the
tourney; no #Triskaidekaphobia
for him!
Bout 3 in #Boxcino2015 Tourney
underway, Simeon Hardy of Brooklyn, NY, vs. Vito Gasparyan of Armenia, via Los
Angeles. 6 rounds Jr. Middles
these two are fighting
at a bigger man's pace, Gasparyan using short chopping punches to control
matters when they are in close
Simeon Hardy is being
outclassed here. He can't seem to get a bead on the feinting, slipping,
pressing Gasparyan
even promoter Artie
Pelullo has started shouting: come on guys fight!!
final round now. Maybe
Gasparyan can put Hardy away...
Vito Gasparyan releases
a primal scream after the bell that ends a very thorough defeat of Simeon
Hardy, waiting on the lopsided decision...
your scorecards are
58-56, 60-54, 59-55 all in favor of Vito Gasparyan who improves to 15-3-5 (8)
while Simeon Hardy falls to 13-1 (10)
we now have 3/4ths of
next rd in #Boxcino2015
Stanyslav Skorokhod will face John Thompson & Vito Gasparyan will fight
winner of next fight
final bout of the night
is about to get underway... @BAtheCannon
of Los Angeles, CA, versus Alex Perez of Newark, NJ #Boxcino2015
Alex Perez has more
tattoos than Max Cady in Scorsese's Cape Fear
Alex Perez landed well
in the first minute of the opening round with Adams getting in several bolts in
the second half of 1st
Brandon Adams landing
hard with Perez' back to the ropes, Perez grabs and Ref Harvey Dock breaks them
Brandon Adams really
blasting away at Alex Perez. This one may not go the distance...
Adams has Perez back
along the ropes again, hammering away, Perez lands two shots of his own, Adams
smiles and keeps hammering #Boxcino2015
Adams is fighting a lot
more of a crowd-pleasing fight here by choosing to slug. He could possibly win
easier if he gave himself some room
Adam keeps crowding
Perez and blasting him with hooks and uppercuts
Adams was really
loading up looking to land a heavy right at the end of the 4th. Two more rounds
to go here. Dr. Alessi checking on Perez
that's what Brandon The
Cannon Adams was waiting 4! A big right hand crashes against the mouth of
Perez, drops him & causes Ref to stop it
evidently there is one
more bout to come from here @MoheganSun
and we'll have it for you shortly...
Ralph Johnson is #boxing a 4 rounder with Ray Oliveira Jr here in
the walk-out bout at Mohegan Sun
looks like the corner
of Johnson has seen enough. Their fighter complaining about a leg injury.
Oliveira Jr picks up a TKO after 2 rounds
that's it from @MoheganSun now for coffee, then to brave the
cold and head on home! Until next time Fight Fans!!
