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.

@FistThingsFirst is here live-tweeting now that he's
successfully gotten onto the WiFi
In the first bout of the night, Wendy Toussaint of Huntington ,
NY Yonkers , NY
Bout 2, Valerio Nocera of Roma ,
Italy Lanoka Harbor , NJ
Through 2, Valerio Nocera in charge, both guys throwing with
bad intentions but the Italian is landing harder and more frequently. Got
credit for a knockdown in 1st that looked more like a slip.
Not a lot of finesse in Nocera's attack. He bulls his way in
behind wide heavy shots. He tried but couldn't hurt Murray .
Nocera should win this 40-35 on all three cards I'd guess. #SlugfestAtTheSun
Wow! What do I know? The judges see it 38-37 for Nocera
overruled by 38-37 x 2 in favor of Dan Murray of NJ who improves to 3-1. Nocera
loses for the first time, now 3-1-1 .
#SlugfestAtTheSun
Bout 3, Carlos Marrero, 129.7 lbs, of Hartford ,
CT Rochester , New
York
Marrero has a large group of fans here to support him and
they're enthusiastic, urging him on, and he needed it in that 2nd rd. Looked
like Felton won it, Marrero hesitating too much, falling for feints, eating
sporadic jabs. #slugfestAtTheSun
Carlos Marrero needs a huge 4th round here after being
dropped hard in last minute of round 3 by Sequan Felton
This one is in the books, waiting on the scorecards. Marrero
is the local guy but between the low punch output and the knockdown I have a
feeling he is going to back into the pro-ranks at 0-1 but we shall see...
Sequan Felton picks up the Unanimous Decision with scores of 40-35
x 2 and 39-36 all in his favor. He is now 2-2. While Marrero
is 0-1.
up now, Kali "KO Mequinonoag" Reis 158.2 lbs of Providence ,
RI Wilson ,
North Carolina 159.5 lbs 6x2 rds
K.o. Mequinonoag Reis vs Tiffany Woodard #SlugfesttTheSun

K.o. Mequinonoag Reis has made her way to the ring! #SlugfestAtTheSun

@KO_MoC86 landing heavy bolts to the head of Woodard at the
start of round four #SlugfestAtTheSun
@KO_MoC86 looking sharp tonight. Throwing punches in bunches
and landing heavy. Woodard is gritty, hanging in there and trading.
Reis landing heavy shots to the head of Woodard. Straight
right, left hook.
Lots of toe-to-toe action here which is a little out of
character for @KO_MoC86 she's usually more of a counterpuncher. She's slugging
it out tonight, looking to do damage.
Reis really swinging for power here in round 6.
snappy three and four punch combinations to head and body
from @KO_MoC86 in that sixth & final round. She looked very sharp in what's
likely to be a lopsided UD win. Waiting on cards... #SlugfestAtTheSun
Kali Reis won a 6 rd, Unanimous Decision. Scores were a
somewhat peculiar 59-55, 60-53, 60-54, despite no knockdowns @KO_MoC86 is now 13-6-1 (4). Tiffany Woodard fell to 4-9-3 (3)
#Boxing now, "Action" Anthony Laureano 5-0 (3) 139
lbs East Hartford , CT
@GW_Relentless looks to be outworking Johnny Hernandez
through 3 here @MoheganSun #boxing
Big fourth round for Anthony Laureano. This one is scheduled
for 6 rounds.
Laureano dominating here. Hernandez' face is the same scarlet
color as his trunks from the many punches he's absorbed. Final round coming up.
#SlugfestAtTheSun
Hernandez is hanging in there, doing a lot more catching than
pitching but he's right in front of Laureano and battling away. Fun fight. Laureano
should win by wide margin. Waiting on scorecards now...
wow, the judges saw it closer than I did, the scores are 57-57,
58-56 x 2 in favor of @GW_Relentless winner by Majority Decision. Laureano now 6-0
(3).
up next, Danny "El Gallo" Gonzalez 14-0 (5) Woodhaven ,
NY Framingham , MA
It's Daniel versus Danny here @MoheganSun
O'Connor busier in round 1, landed heavy body shot at the end
of the first that made Gonzalez stop and stick his tongue out at him. #SlugfestAtTheSun
Horrible cut over the left eye of southpaw Danny O'Connor. not
sure if it was caused by a butt or a punch. O'Connor digging a right hook to
guts of Gonzalez repeatedly.
O'Connor in charge here. Really applying lots of pressure,
fighting with urgency due to the cut and controlling the distance very well. Doctor
Anthony Alessi is up in his corner, hopefully they can patch him up cuz he
looks very sharp so far tonight #SlugfestAtTheSun
O'Connor just landed a huge overhand left, Gonzalez fell
forward, tried to rise, reeled into the ropes and that was all ref. Steve
Willis needed to see. TKO 3 :39 #SlugfestAtTheSun
results thus far from @starboxing's #SlugfestAtTheSun card

here's the Main Event, cruiserweights, WBC International
& Continental Cruiserweight Champion Constantin Bejenaru 12-0 (3) originally
from Moldova, now fighting out of Brooklyn, NY, 199.5 lbs versus @ThabisoMchunu
200 lbs. Ximba, South Africa #SlugfestAtTheSun
quite a bit of hesitating in the last thirty seconds as both
of these guys are southpaws who like to counter and neither wanted to take the
lead.
lots of boos from this crowd for two guys who did not
celebrate Thanksgiving this week... One's from South
Africa and the other from Moldova .
Lot of hesitating from both guys. Each loading up,
feinting then firing and missing with big whiffing shots.
If this keeps up like this it's going to be a long ten rounds...
Mchunu landed a short right hook to the chin of Bejenaru that
seemed to knock him off balance.
This fight cannot be easy to score. Very little is happening.
Mchunu is probably ahead but there have been precious few cleanly landed
punches. #Dreadful
More KOFantasyBoxing® Retweeted Star Boxing
these mats they are using in the corners are really a great
idea and it's kind of hard to believe it took so long to come up with something
like that. It's a needed change in a sport that is slow to change.KOFantasyBoxing®
added,
Bejenaru scored a flash knockdown in that seventh round off
of what looked to be a right jab. It's the only really definitive round of this
fight and barely so.
This card has been billed as #SlugfestAtTheSun but they
clearly were not referring to this Main Event which is a #FeintFest and a hard
one to watch
Final round coming up and Bejenaru might have a lead here due
to the knockdown but there have been very few definitive rounds for either
fighter.
Well, I saw Mchunu win two rounds for sure and Bejenaru won
one for certain due to the knockdown. The rest, I don't know. Not a lot
happened. Lots of posing, feinting, missing and hesitating. No damage to either
guy & precious few landed shots. Waiting on the scorecards...
The scores are 97-92, 98-91 and 97-92 all in favor of the
champion, Constantin Bejenaru, now 13-0 (3), but he certainly didn't win any
new fans here tonight. Thabiso Mchunu falls to 18-4 (11). #SlugfestAtTheSun
One more bout to go... And we need it! Like an Altoid after
that last one.
last bout of the night here at #SlugfestAtTheSun, Charles
Foster 13-0 (7) of New Haven, CT, 179 lbs. versus Charlotte, NC native ,
Quinton Rankin 12-4-2 (9) 179 lbs
Quentin Rankin has quite a beard on him, surprised the
commission didn't ask him to shave it off or trim it down considerably.
Charles Foster is getting to Rankin here in round four. The
North Carolinian seems to have deflated quite a bit. Foster stalking.
Dr. Anthony Alessi up in the corner of Rankin, talking to him
before round 5. #SlugfestAtTheSun
Foster lands two and three hard punches at a time and then
doesn't follow up. He seems able to stun Rankin but has been unable to put him
down.
After consulting with the ringside physician, referee Steve
Littles stops the bout at the start of the sixth and final round giving Charles
Foster the TKO victory. #SlugfestAtTheSun
That's all from here, fight-fans! Thanks for all the RTs and
follows! Until next time... #Boxing
