Ringside Report
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.
You
can follow us on Twitter here
**On
this occasion we kept getting a security notice from Google Chrome and were
locked out of Twitter for awhile. It came online right around bout number
three.
we are ringside from @MoheganSun for @starboxing's
#SlugfestAtTheSun tune in here for more updates.
Bout 3, Marcus Beckford,155 lbs, East Meadow, NY,
3-6-3 vs Jose Rivera,154 1/4 lbs, of Hartford, CT, 2-1 (2) 6 rounds.
tentative first between these two fighters. Rivera seemed
busier. They are using mats in the corner to absorb excess water. Great idea!!
Rated-R Rivera landed several cracking right hooks in this
all-southpaw contest.
these two are being a little extra cautious. They probably
don't face southpaws like themselves very often. This is like looking in a
mirror
Beckford landed a couple single shots in that third but it
was Rivera landing big blasts to the head with both hands at round's end
holy crap!! Beckford looked to be doing a little talking in
there & seconds later Rivera crashed a right hook against his jaw &
ended this
Ref. Ortega gave him a count but halted things with Beckford
on his feet but too groggy to go on.
Rivera wins via TKO Round 4 1:50 .
Wow. Big shot!
very busy hands, good combinations from Sidney Maccow in
round 1. He won the first, as our President would say, BIGLY!
Maccow just seems a lot stronger here, even when his punches
crash against the guard of Laureano he knocks him off balance #SlugfestAtTheSun
We are in CT, of course, but this looks to me like the Hartford
fighter just dropped the first 2 rounds #SlugfestAtTheSun
we've got a fight now! Laureano woke up with a minute to go
in the 3rd & may have done enough to win that round, Crowd loved it.
Laureano surging now & Maccow tiring a bit. Always
fascinating to see the difference in fighters who start fast & those that
need a rd or 2
these guy's noggins have slammed together quite a few times.
It's a fight at close quarters now and Laureano loves that
Laureano really eats up the close-quarters, cheek-to-cheek,
jowl-to-jowl combat. He may very well have just won this fight
Maccow vs. Laureano was 2 different fights, the first 2 1/2
rounds was all Sidney Maccow and the last 3 1/2 mostly Laureano. Scores coming..
After 6 rounds, scores are 58-56 x 3 all in favor of Anthony
Laureano. Sounds like the judges gave Maccow 2 rounds, probably 1 & 2
Laureano admits he's a pressure fighter in the post-fight
interview. The more rounds the better he says.
Bout 5- Kali Reis, 151 1/4 lbs, of Providence, RI, vs
Ashleigh Curry, 152 1/2 lbs, of Saint Joseph, MO
Kali Reis keeping straight punches in the face of Ashleigh
Curry through 2 rounds
Curry is a southpaw & is fighting mostly in retreat,
Curry landed a hard right at the end of the 3rd but Reis took it well
Waiting on the scorecards for Reis vs. Curry. Reis should
have picked up a unanimous decision, Doubt she lost a round.
After six rounds the judges saw it 59-55, 58-56 and 57-57 in
favor of @KO_MoC86 the winner by Majority Decision.
Bout 6- Daniel Gonzalez, 145 1/2 lbs, of Woodhaven ,
NY
Daniel Gonzalez pressed the action in round 1, bringing the
fight to Amoako and cracking him with a big left hook with a minute left in 1st
Gonzalez snaking a nasty little uppercut up between the
guard of Amoako & stinging him with it. Amoako wants a brawl but Gonzalez
is boxing
Amoako has a bushy beard and looks like a Ghanaian version
of Zeus or Poseidon
this is starting 2 get a little dull. Gonzalez in total
control but Amoako has a decent defense & Gonzalez doesn't seem to punch
hard enough
Gonzalez caught Amoako with a right to the chin that seemed
to shake him up a bit but Amoako was able to clutch and grab his way to safety
the boo-birds have
come out for the first time tonight.
Gonzalez really doing
some nice flurrying in close. Lots of body shots.
This one goes the full six. Waiting on the cards. Don't
think we'll see the officials score a single round 4 Amoako but been wrong B4
2nite
The officials are in agreement, 60-54 x 3, all in favor of
Danny El Gallo Gonzalez, now 14-0-1 (5).
Carlos Perez of Hartford , CT
Main Event! Delvin Rodriguez,156 1/4 lbs, of Danbury ,
CT Brooklyn , NY
thru 2 rounds it's Delvin Rodriguez stalking, trying to walk
Pennington down with the Kingpin using speedy jabs to redden the face of D-Rod
Rodriguez throwing harder punches but Pennington landing
more frequently, switching back & forth from orthodox to southpaw, at times
Pennington being very elusive, frustrating Ridriguez, but
might not be landing enough to win all these rounds
Pennington stayed in the pocket in that 5th & was able
to bust Rodriguez in the mouth repeatedly. Rodriguez swelling & red,
Kingpin fresher
Looked like Mike Mazzulli, Director of Athletic Regulations
here, warned Pennington's corner for putting too much grease on his face
there's a mouse under the right eye of Rodriguez from the
many many jabs he's taken from Courtney Kingpin Pennington
Pennington continues outboxing Rodriguez, coming up on round
number 8
There's swelling around the eye of Pennington from the
rights he's taken from Rodriguez but it's Pennington's jab that's winning this
fight
Delvin Rodriguez looks like a shot fighter here. His
reflexes are really blunted. He's got a speedy guy in front of him but missing
terribly
Last round coming up. Rodriguez fired some heavy shots at
the end of the ninth, he seems aware he needs to surge and surge BIGLY!
Delvin Rodriguez raises his hands at the bell 2 end the
tenth but there's only a smattering of applause. Pennington should win this
decision
Pennington wins a Unanimous Decision by scores of 98-92 x 2,
97-93. He is now 3-0 (1) since his April
23rd 2016 loss to Patrick Day
Delvin Rodriguez should avoid speedy boxers entirely if he's
going 2 keep fighting But it looks like he's very shopworn. he tried hard 2nite
That's it from here at Mohegan Sun, fight fans! Take care
and see you next time! Thanks for all the Likes & Retweets
