Titus Williams vs. Benjamin Burgos, up now LIVE from @FoxwoodsCT on #PBConNBC undercard 4
rounds, super feathers
Titus Williams just landed one of the most destructive
overhand rights I've ever seen. It slowly crumpled Burgos
& likely broke his jaw
the stoppage comes at 1:48
of round number 1 and the crunching sound of that right made the small but
growing crowd here, wince #OUCH
Thanks to CT's failing infrastructure, the 25 minutes I
spent in i-95 traffic kept me away from the first 2 bouts...
...Antonio "The Other" Russell stopped Manuel
Rubalcava on what looked to be a body shot, but left the ring with an air-cast
on his arm TKO1
On the way to the ring, light heavies, @Marcus_Browne versus Gabriel
Campillo, this could be another quick knockout #PBConNBC
That's it for Gabriel Campillo, @Marcus_Browne jumped right on
him, landed a right that put him down; up again a body shot finished him
Browne did exactly the right thing against Campillo, it
lasted all of :55 seconds. Campillo starts slow & has been stopped, so jump
on him.
after a long intermission we've got female super
bantamweights in an 8 rounder, Brittany Cruz of CO vs. @shelitosway of Providence ,
RI
True-to-form @shelitosway
goes right after the guts of Cruz, banging at her body with both hands.
Cruz #boxing
better in round 2, blunting Vincent's pressure a bit with the jab, making
Vincent hang outside too long
great exchanges at the end of round 3, Cruz landing well and
sparking some back-and-forth in the red corner before the bell
crowd here is loving this one, and it's by far the most
competitive fight thus far on the card. Vincent's punches falling a little
short
lots of leather flying at the end of the fifth but not a lot
of connecting. Vincent doing more damage though
chopping overhand right from Vincent got Cruz' attention but
they're still trading. Good action in the sixth
I'm sorry, i thought this was a six rounder, we're going 8
promoter @loudibella
stopped by press row & asked how we'd like a @shelitosway vs. @HeatherHardyBox fight
"Seems inevitable" he said smiling
Cruz was watching the clock on the big screen towards the
end of the round. She's withered under Vincent's constant pressure
That's the end of 8 and this crowd sure loves @shelitosway! scorecards are 79-73 x
2 and 80-72 all in favor of Vincent, now 15-0 (1)
1st fight up when #PBConNBC goes live in
minutes is Bundrage-Charlo, check-out yesterday's weigh-in & the dog pound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7xObEMpsJg …
#PBConNBC
is LIVE from @FoxwoodsCT, here
comes @K9boxing versus @FutureOfBoxing in a 12 round
super welterweight bout #boxing
both fighters look pretty dry but they stood there waiting
for the bell quite a while through intros and TV
wow, Charlo connects with a sneaky right K9 just didn't see
that put him on the seat of his pants in a neutral corner
replay shows the right hand crashed against Bundrage's
temple and dropped him
Charlo's speedy hands and sneaky angles produce a second knockdown
in round 2
Charlo even getting the better of Bundrage on the inside in
a partial clinch at the end of the second.
replay shows that knockdown in round 2 was caused by a
speedy @FutureOfBoxing jab
Bundrage down again, Charlo pursuing him. Ref. Johnny Callas
took a long look at him before letting this continue
an overhand right high on the head puts Bundrage down again
and the referee calls it off without a count. Bundrage isn't happy about it
@K9boxing is
always a tough out and the way @FutureOfBoxing
just took care of business was impressive. Charlo moves to 22-0 (17)
official time of the technical knockout was 2:33 of round 3,
Bundrage loses for the 6th time, 1st loss by KO since 2007, he is now 34-6 (19)
where's the vegemite, baby!? Australian Michael Zerafa is
set to fight for the 1st time here in the US of A. Main Event is up next
#QuillinZerafa
rd number 1... Kid Chocolate did damage with short chopping left hooks but it
was Zerafa pressing & paying for it
Zerafa has been able to connect with a hard straight right
behind a left jab several times, but he's eating left hooks
@KIDCHOCOLATE
is in control here but Zerafa has been able to land a few hard blasts in each
frame
both guys throwing and landing their biggest shots here in
the 4th. Big right from Quillin gets him a big left-right in return from Zerafa
Quillin right in front of Zerafa, giving him no room at all,
it's smart pressure...oh, wow an exchange breaks out, a monster right drops him
Ref. Arthur Mercante halts this one without a count after a
charging right hand blast from @KIDCHOCOLATE
crumpled Zerafa in rd 5
@KIDCHOCOLATE
throwing chocolates to the crowd as his opponent is removed on a stretcher #Boxing #SportAndSpectacle
Mismatches aren't cool, but big knockouts draw fans, that
fight seemed like a little bit of both
Quillin begins his post-fight interview with a wish for
Zerafa's quick recovery, & now the trash talk with @DanielJacobsTKO, who is
ringside
It's one long ass flight from Hartford ,
CT Melbourne ,
Australia
with the defeat Zerafa falls to 17-2 (9) while @KIDCHOCOLATE improves to 32-0-1
(23), still 3 fights to go from here... #PBConNBC
up now, 10 rounds, middles, Hugo Centeno Jr vs. Lukasz
Maciec
Centeno pelting Maciec in a busy 1st rd. Promoter Lou
DiBella says Zerafa was taken 2 Backus Hospital nearby as a precaution. He's
conscious
Zerafa is in good shape, he's at Backus
Hospital
Maciec is getting outboxed here by his taller, longer-armed
opponent. Maciec following, Centeno circling and popping away
@KIDCHOCOLATE
speaking to media backstage @ Foxwoods & takes call from Michael Zerafa, he
wishes him well & hopes the best for future #class
December 5th at the @barclayscenter is the
"working date" for @KIDCHOCOLATE
vs. @DanielJacobsTKO which is
going to be an all NYC war!!
Perez, the Columbian, really trying here but Cruz has been
slamming him with rights and has reddened the left side of Perez' face &
eye
Cruz is outboxing Perez here, using smart movement and
reaching in with speedy punches to the head & body; Perez keeps pressing
One of the really good things about Round Card Girls is that
they let the crowd know WHAT ROUND IT IS! Hello?!
sneaky right uppercut from Cruz and he rolls out to the side
out of harm's way, making Perez continue chasing him
Perez has upped his effort a bit, hoping to take advantage
of a tiring Cruz. So far Pee Wee is holding him off. #WhatRoundIsIt #NoIdea
here are the scorecards, 77-75, 79-73 and 80-72 all in favor
of @TEAMPEEWEE05 who improves to
16-0 (8) while Perez falls to 33-12 (27)
That's all from here, Fight Fans! Thanks for following along
and all the retweets & favorites! #boxing #PBConNBC
