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.

we're live from ringside now! in the middle of Bout 1 Jose
Roman of Puerto Rico versus William Hill of Detroit, MI
Jose Roman is six foot two inches tall but he's taking away
his height and reach advantage by leaning forward & crouching a bit
Hill seemed to get the worst of a headbutt, accidental, at
the start of the 4th & final round
we go to the scorecards after 4... Hill definitely won that
final round but this observer was too busy setting up to have scored the first 3
scores are unanimous, 40-36 x 2, 39-37 all in favor of Jose
Roman who improves to 4-0 (3) while William Hill drops to 2-3
Bout 2, Luis Garcia of Peekskill, NY by way of Cuba 194 lbs.
stopped Felipe Romero of San Diego, CA by way of Mexico 195 lbs. in the first
Luis "El Leon "
Garcia picks up the TKO victory at 1:48
of the 1st to improve to 15-0 (12).
fighters from Bout 3 headed to the ring...
bout 3 pits Radzhab Butaev, of Brooklyn ,
NY Russia
153 lbs. against Abraham Alvarez, of El Rosario ,
Mexico
OUCH! that's over in 1 rd! 2 knockdowns by Butaev do the
damage, 1st a big left hook, Alvarez got up only 2 get nailed w/brutal body
shot
Doctors talking to Alvarez. If his ribs aren't broken he
certainly had the wind knocked out of him. He's up & walking around now.
Ref. Lupino stopped it at 1:05
of rd 1. The Python, Radzhab Butaev improves to 6-0 (5) while Alvarez falls to 20-11-1 (11)
#boxing now in bout 4, Super Welters 4rds Khiry Todd (4-0, 4
KOs ), Lynn , MA 12-8-1 ,
9 KOs ), Lome , Togo
Khiry Todd pounding out a lopsided win here. I don't think
Sarouna has won a round.
That was a little weird. Sarouna went down under pressure,
it looked like he took a knee to clear his head but he stayed down for a 10
count
Khiry "TNT" Todd picks up the stoppage victory,
TKO3 1:32 , and improves to 5-0 (5) while
Nicolas Sarouna of Togo
falls to 12-9-1 (9) #Boxing
Bout 5 Up now, Jennifer Salinas (19-4, 5 KOs ),
Providence , RI Novato , CA
Jen Salinas
still in charge here but Lee has made a contest of it, the exchanges are heated
now, Salinas ' face has reddened
considerably
they are just slugging away here! this is just raw cavewoman
versus cavewoman slugging in the center of the ring! wow! good stuff!
sixth and final round now. Salinas
lands 2 sweeping overhand rights to start the frame!
double left hooks from @bolivian_queen, body and then head!
the official scorecards are 59-55 x 2, 58-56 all in favor of
@bolivian_queen who took fight on short notice & improves to 20-4 (5)
Marquita Lee drops to 3-5 #BroadwayBoxing
up now, Myquan Williams, 146lbs, of East
Hartford , CT
Myquan Williams showing off his skills here in round number
one, catching Vasquez with sharp speedy punches from range
Williams may have hurt Vasquez at the end of that second
round, he went right after him when he sensed it but the bell rang
Williams has won the first three rounds easily. 4th underway
now
If Williams starts to punish the body this one might end
early.
Vasquez is a southpaw but he squares his shoulders up right
in front of his opponent and Myquan Williams is having no trouble nailing him
Myquan Williams showing lot of slick & speedy moves but
wonder if it would be more impressive if he stepped up the body attack &
got a TKO
This guy might just be pretty durable. Williams just busted
him in the mouth with a hard straight right & Vasquez just ate it right up
all 3 judges score it 60-54 in favor of Myquan Williams, now
7-0 (4). That was basically a clinic. He didn't get touched much at all
co-feature, Ruslan Shamalov, 233lbs, of Brooklyn ,
NY Russia
vs George Arias, 230lbs, of Bronx , NY Dominican Republic
Arias goes right to works slugging at the body of the taller
Shamalov
wow! that was an exciting 3 minutes! Arias was in control
the first minute but as the round wore on Shamalov found the range & hurt
Arias
good round for Arias. He's #boxing landing quick shots and
stepping away. Shamalov big and strong but got outpunched & outmaneuvered
in rd2
good fight here! these guys are tired! Shamalov landing the
heavier clubbing shots but the better looking, crisper cleaner shots are Arias'
sixth and final round coming up for this hard fought contest
between unbeaten heavies... someone's O must go!!
Arias is very quick on his feet for a man of some two
hundred thirty pounds.
Arias is good at making this big man miss
I liked the speedy trickerations and jolting shots of Arias
over the big, thumping swats of Shamalov in that one. Waiting on decision now
The better boxing of Arias triumphs over the blunt force
trauma of Shamalov, scores were varied 60-54, 59-55 and 58-65 all for George
Arias
time for the main event! Lightweights, 8 rounds, Matt
Remillard, 135lbs, of Manchester, CT vs. Fatiou Fassinou, 133lbs, of Cotonou,
Benin
Fatiou Fassinou is a speedy southpaw and he posed a pretty
elusive target in round number one.
Remillard getting to Fassinou here in round 2. May have hurt
him.
lots of holding and grappling and stumbling from Fassinou. This
might end in a DQ if not a TKO first.
Fassinou went down at the bell to end round two. He looks
extremely unsteady. He's fast but he's not taking punishment well at all
Remillard applying lots of pressure, really crowding
Fassinou
Fassinou looked exhausted at the end of the third. His
trainer came out to get him & helped him back to the corner. Doctor
checking him
very stern warning from ref, johnny callas about the holding.
He said one more and you lose a point.
Remillard consistently hammering at Fassinou. He's having
difficulty landing cleanly but great bodywork.
Oh, that's it! Fassinou's corner has done the wise thing and
stopped this fight.
That's the first stoppage victory for Remillard in his 2
fight comeback since the loss to Mikey Garcia and a stint in prison for assault
The fight ends before round number 5, TKO victory for Matt
Remillard, now 25-1 (14). Fassinou falls to 27-6-3 (14).
Remillard said he felt good and thinks with one more fight
this year he'll be where he wants to be. Wants a rematch with @mikeygarcia
That's all from here, Fight-fans! Thanks for all the likes,
