Twitter Recap

Alex Pierpaoli
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.

can follow us on Twitter here

Bout 2
former Middleweight, Super Middle
& Light Heavyweight Champ Iran Barkley is working in the corner of Romon
Barber of Kansas.
LeShawn Rodriguez of Shirley ,
NY facing off against Romon Barber of Wichita .
Middleweights, 6 rounds.
Rodriguez looks 2B laying the
groundwork 4 a stoppage Barber was on his feet through the 1st but looked like
he got worst of some body shots.
Barber is certainly trying here,
winging punches and hanging in there but he's being outgunned and outclassed.
Rodriguez up 2 to none in rds.
Romon Barber goes down under a
fussilade of short hooks 2 the head and body. Ref. Mike Ortega counts him out
at 1:15 of rd 3 Rodriguez by KO.
LeShawn "Lightning"
Rodriguez moves to 7-0 (6) while Romon Barber drops to 7-16 (6). 5 bouts to go
here at #RisingStars.

bow http://fb.me/1fXFS7rp2
Bout 3, welters, 6 rounds, Enriko
Gogokhia, 148lbs, of Oxnard, CA versus Joaquin Delarosa, 149lbs of Victoria,
Mexico #RisingStars
Big first round for Gogokhia, he
looks like he could end this at any moment.
seconds into round 2 Gogokhia
scored a knockdown. Ref. Mike Ortega lets it continue but Gogokhia had DeLaRosa
hurt and finishes him at 1:27.
Enriko Gogolhia improves to 6-0
(3) with this stoppage of Joaquin DeLaRosa, welterweights (http://fb.me/2mPlm11ac
Bout 4, Kevin Asmat, 128lbs, of North
Bergen , NJ , versus Rafael
Castillo Rosendo, 122lbs, of the Bronx , NY, 4 rounds,
feathers #Risingstars
that was a very evenly matched
1st round. Rosendo is making his pro-debut and he is not the least bit
intimidated here.
Rosendo doing most of the
pressing and landing, Asmat trying to fend him off.
Asmat controlled rnd three. He
needs this last round to get a draw in my opinion. Rosendo got the worst of
some excessive officiating in 3rd.
wow, that was a fun fight. Huge
final round for Asmat. No knockdowns but he nailed Rosendo repeatedly with
clean shots in final seconds.
The scorecards are all identical
39-37 x 3 all for Kevin Asmat who improves his record to 3-1 (2). Rosendo backs
into the pro ranks at 0-1
Bout 5, @Cassius_Chaney of New
London, CT versus Jon Bolden of Brooklyn , NY
6 rounds, heavyweights
Chaney is down after two chopping
right hands... it continues...
tough first round for
@Cassius_Chaney but he recovered well and scored with several hard uppercuts in
close in final minute. #RisingStars
Ref. Danny Schiavone kinda yells
at the fighters every time he breaks them
Chaney rocked again, and it was
ruled a knockdown cuz the ropes held him up. Huge uppercut from Bolden did the
damage.
@Cassius_Chaney hurt Bolden in
the final seconds of round 2. Not enough to swing it in his favor but Bolden
went to his stool hurting.
Chaney had a decent third but may
have given it away laying on the ropes in final minute. He's way down in points
after 2 knockdowns.
the score here could be 30-27 for
Bolden after 3. That's a deep hole to climb out of for Cassius Chaney.
big left hook from
@Cassius_Chaney seemed to rattle Bolden.
Bolden looks pretty gassed-out
here. Cassius Chaney won the fourth round. He's going to need to turn up the
pressure here.
After suffering a knockdown early
in the round Cassius Chaney battles back against Jon Bolden in the final
moments of the second: http://fb.me/6N3VbqNUj
I saw it even at 57-57 but if
ringside judges gave Chaney the 3rd round he'll remain undefeated. Good test 4
him @ this stage of his career
here's the scorecards... after 6,
all three judges saw it 56-55 x 3 all in favor of @Cassius_Chaney who moves to
11-0 (5)
@Cassius_Chaney says last night
he dreamed his opponent was going to charge him & drop him and it happened.
But he got right up & came back
Lots of background noise here but Cassius Chaney tells us he dreamed...

Bout 6
Crespo comes to the ring to the
music of the Late James Brown, The Big Payback! This is his chance
at revenge & redemption!
Nate Green comes to the ring with
undefeated prospect @KOKINGROSA and is wearing the pink ribbon for breast
cancer awareness on his trunks
here we go... #ElmCityWar
Crespo got caught with several
hard lefts from the southpaw stance of Green but it was a close 1st. Green won
it. Both guys a bit tentative
1st minute of Green-Crespo: (http://fb.me/8nCOZpJfX
Looks like Green is bleeding
pretty heavily. He was cut last month in a bout in Puerto Rico
and that may have just reopened
Green really digging at Crespo's
body. Crespo needs to pick up the pace.
The cut over Green's eye is in a
bad spot & there was some urgency in his fighting in that second. Crespo
landed harder in 2nd.
Green just landed a great right
hook but Crespo walked right through it.
Crespo just lost point on a dumb
infraction. He reached over his own head to smack at Green in a clinch &
Ref. Schiavone didn't care for it
I have this 30-26 for Green going
into round 4.
Green is bleeding here but it
doesn't seem to be bothering him. Crespo needs to rally. They may stop
this...due to the cut
They seem to have halted it due
to the cut. We're going to the cards it seems.
Was the cut caused by a punch or
a butt? Did referee Schiavone ever tell us? Not very clearly if he did cuz we
missed it.
There seems to be a little bad
blood still simmering here between the camps and this finish didn't help
well, this announcer has told us
that all three judges had it the same, all for Nate Green who remains
undefeated but the scores? don't know
Tough, dissatisfying result.
Interestingly, all they completed this time was 4 rounds, the same distance
they went 6 years ago. #ElmCityWar
Main Event, Elvin Ayala of New
Haven , CT versus Vaughn
Alexander of Saint Louis , MO
10 rounds, middles #RisingStars
Elvin Ayala looks to be in pretty
great shape here tonight and he's giving Alexander some wrinkles but the
Missourian should be up 2-0
Ayala is jabbing very well here.
Alexander beating him with short harder shots but it's Ayala who's busier.
Alexander landing well to the
body in round four.
Alexander's nose looks to be
badly broken and bleeding. His mouth is wide open. Ayala may have done it with
one of many, many jabs.
Alexander definitely throwing
punches with bad intentions in that fifth. He's gotta be swallowing lots of
blood. His nose looks crooked.
Vaughn Alexander fighting through
what looks to be a badly broken nose. Ayala reluctant to press the action (http://fb.me/1eYtp87nd
Ayala starting to press the action here in the seventh. Landed a hard uppercut to that battered nose.
Ayala starting to press the action here in the seventh. Landed a hard uppercut to that battered nose.
Holy crap!! a huge right hand
from Vaughn Alexander makes Ayala's legs go rubbery and down he goes. Ref.
Ortega waves it off.
a mini version of Louis vs. Conn
here. Ayala was opening up, trying 2 do more while Alexander was bleeding but
he opened himself up too much
Alexander via TKO 7, ref. Mike
Ortega stops the bout at 1:42 .
Vaughn Alexander improves to 11-0 (8) while Elvin Ayala drops to 30-9-1 (13)
That's it from here, folks! Our
ringside wrap-up will be up a little later! Thanks for all the follows and RTs!
