Ray Robinson decisions Sherzodbeck Alimjanov
and 5 supporting bouts
Twitter Recap
Last night The Grand Theater at Fox Tower was the site of Roc
Nation Sports' second boxing promotion, a seven bout card featuring two title
fights broadcast LIVE on Fox Sports 1. As is our tradition here, if we covered
a fight live and tweeted details from ringside we like to post a recap later
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.

1st bout coming up shortly #RocNationSports
Bout 1, Super-Middles, 4rds, Roberto
Lopez, 166lbs, of Vineland, NJ vs. Quick Nick
Valliere, 163lbs of Tom's River NJ #ThroneBoxing #FNF
Valliere, a southpaw gets right to work behind busy right
hook to head & belly of Lopez, no feeling out round for these 2, they're
slugging
wouldn't think it from his stocky,
just-woke-up-on-a-Saturday-AM build but Valliere is a slick southpaw & rips
Lopez w/ long left uppercuts
third round has really slowed down. first two rounds were a
very fast pace for these 2. Valliere in charge
lots of leaning on each other & grappling in that 3rd
but Quick Nick still did enough to win it. Last round coming up will he get a
shut-out
Bout 1 in the books, Nick Valliere dominates Roberto Lopez.
First 2 rounds were very strong, he faded a bit but should win this 4rds to none
the scorecards read 40-36 & 39-37 x 2 all in favor of
Quick Nick Valliere who improves to 5-0 (2). Roberto Lopez slips to 4-9-2 (1) #Boxing
Bout 2, Middles, 4 rds, Khiary
Gray-Pitts 158lbs of Worcester, MA vs Pedro The
BEAST Gonzalez #RocNationSports
160lbs of Springfield, MA
160lbs of Springfield, MA
that was quick! Khiary Gray-Pitts got right to work
attacking the body of Gonzalez & a hard left hook to the waist ended things
at 1:01
Khiary Gray-Pitts is on a 1st round KO streak, this makes 4
in a row as he climbs to 7-0 (5). Pedro Gonzalez goes home at 2-2 (2) #RocNation
Looks like the @QStormJ28
bout was scratched. Bummer! was looking forward to it. So we've got 7 bouts
from @FoxwoodsCT tonight, not 8
little bit of an intermission here, 5 bouts to go tonight
Bout 3, Junior Welters, 4 rds, Sonny
Fredrickson, 140lbs, of Toledo, Ohio versus Ramon
Ellis, 139lbs, of Philadelphia, PA #RocNationSports
Fredrickson pelting Ellis with lead rights, Ellis engaging
gamely but getting badly outgunned. Fredrickson knocked out his mouthpiece in
1st
Fredrickson in charge in this one, Ellis' trainer shouting
for him to stay outta corners, Fredrickson blasts his way off ropes with
barrage
Ellis' corner asking for jabs but only Fredrickson is
delivering in that department. they touch gloves to start the fourth #RocNationSports
again Ellis loses the mouthpiece while under fire, hard to
tell if it got blasted out or if he wanted a breather, he's taking fire again
Fredrickson probably won that last round 10-8, he nailed
Ellis with a left hook just before the bell that had Ellis reeling #RocNationSports
All three judges scored it 40-36 in favor of Sonny
Fredrickson, now 8-0 (5). Ellis dips to 4-15-2
(2)
Sonny Fredrickson says he'll be back in the ring in May or
June in a 6 rounder. Had this one been scheduled for six it wouldn't have made
it
Bout 4, Jr. Middles, Chris
Gray, 152lbs, of Vero Beach, FL versus Dusty
Hernandez Harrison, 153lbs, of Washington, DC #RocNationSports
Chris Gray's best punch landed after the bell to end rd 2,
hard to look good against a guy like this. Hernandez-Harrison needs to catch
him
if Hernandez-Harrison can double that looping right maybe
the second shot will score after the first brings Gray's gloves down...maybe
Gray's extremely hard to hit cleanly. Hernandez-Harrison
throwing big shots but a lot are partially blocked, fall just short of doing
damage
big round for Hernandez-Harrison in the fifth, Gray was
stunned but recovered. Hard body shots by Hernandez-Harrison but Gray's still
here
here in the 7th Hernandez-Harrison is letting Gray lead and
that's creating openings; crowd getting annoyed with all the circling, chasing
last round coming up, Gray has no hope of winning a decision
but he's made it clear he is going to finish this on his feet #RocNationSports
Gray celebrating and the crowd really let's him hear their
displeasure. Not sure he's happy he thinks he won; he's happy he lasted the
limit
scorecards for Hernandez-Harrison vs. Gray, Unanimous
Decision 80-72 x 3, all in favor of @Dusty30th
who improves to 26-0 (13) #RocNation
@FOXSports1 is
LIVE! Bout 5, Welters, 10rds, Ray
Robinson, 145lbs, of Philadelphia, PA versus Sherzodbek
Alimjanov, 146lbs, of Washington DC
Ray Robinson pecking @ Alimjanov with the southpaw jab, lots
of sharp-shooting from Robinson, Alimjanov trying but failing to close distance
Robinson landing the right hook hard in the second, a little
tedious as the work out the angles though, crowd frustrated. Alimjanov pressing
Alimjanov really having trouble trying to get close,
Robinson isn't landing anything with authority but he's scoring & in
control
Alimjanov down in the fourth, hard to tell if it was more of
a slip from where i'm sitting
Alimjanov managed to sneak some chopping straight rights to
the chin of Robinson though not enough to claim an entire round #RocNationSports
6th was what this crowd was waiting for. Both guys had their
moments, Robinson is all long lunging left uppercuts & straight punches
while..
Alimjanov is finally having some success with short chopping
bolts. Lots of swelling & redness around his eyes
That final minute of the 7th saw Robinson landing heavily
with both hands; Alimjanov seems pretty durable but took a lot of punches that
rd
Robinson senses Alimjanov weakening and is opening up on him
in the 8th. No more touching him with straight shots, he's punishing Alimjanov
Last round coming up, Robinson in complete control,
Alimjanov needs a knockout, maybe more than a knockout at this point
Robinson feeds Alimjanov a left uppercut just about every
time he comes forward
Ray Robinson put in a solid performance, probably a shut-out
through ten but there's no rush in adding "SUGAR" to his name, not
yet. #Boxing
scorecards are 98-91, 99-90 and 100-89 all in favor of The
New Ray Robinson who improves to 20-2 (9) while Alimjanov drops to 22-3 (13)
Ray Robinson says he feels more comfortable in the ring than
talking to media. He sure looked focused, at ease & in control vs.
Alimjanov
Main Event is coming now, Felix Cora
Jr, 198lbs, of Galveston, TX versus @MuratGassiev, 197lbs, of
Vladikavkaz, Russia #RocNationSports
Gassiev looping hard lefts to the mid-section of Cora; Cora
spent much of the round circling, pawing with the jab
Gassiev really blasting away with the left hook. Lots of
redness around the right eye of Cora & large welt on his right side near
his waist
Cora came to life in that 3rd, landing right hooks with his
back to the ropes. Gassiev still doing more damage but he ate several shots
Cora looks tired, Gassiev landing heavily. If this goes the
distance and keeps up in this way it's gonna be a rough Saturday for Felix Cora
Cora has no defense whatsoever for Gassiev's left hook.
Gassiev adding the uppercut to the weaponry he's bashing Cora with in the 5th
Cora is landing at times but he's getting punished for it.
Gassiev's really administering a beating
Gassiev really opening up to start the 7th, Ref. Callis
watching closely when Cora lands big and turns the tables momentarily
Cora is gonna need some heavy duty aspirin tonight. Not a
lot happened in the 8th and Gassiev still got hammered
Gassiev blasts Cora into the ropes Calllis starts 2
intervene, lets them continue & Cora's hurt again prompting stoppage at 1:10 of rd 9
Wellington
Arias Romero, 141lbs, of Newburgh, NY fighting the walkout bout here vs Matt
Doherty, 141lbs out of Salem MA,
Romero probably ahead 2-0 but Doherty is posing some
problems, he's awkward, motivated and throwing with bad intentions.
Romero opened up with both hands on Doherty while he was
cornered but the scrappy kid from Salem
battled back. 4th & final rd coming up
That's his second prizefight in 7 days for Matt Doherty, win
or lose that's an impressive start to a pro career
scorecards are 40-36 x 3 in favor of undefeated Wellington
Arias Romero, now 6-0-1 (3) while Doherty goes to 1-1 (1)
