Oliver-Lock Draw; Vincent scores TKO over McPhee

 Oliver-Lock ends in Majority Draw;
Shelito Vincent scores first stoppage win

words & pictures by Alex Pierpaoli

Machine Gun Mike Oliver looked a lot sharper tonight than he did this summer versus Billy Dib but it wasn't enough to come away with a win versus Cornelius Lock. Despite one judge's score of 78-74 in favor of Philadelphia's Cornelius Lock, the bout ended in a majority draw after the remaining ringside officials each had it 76-76. Lock did the better body punching throughout the bout and seemed to be landing the heavier shots. Oliver let his hands go in bursts, some of which may have stolen a couple close rounds, especially effective was his speedy right hook. But over the stretch this observer felt it was the stronger more consistent Lock who should have come away with the win. With the majority draw Oliver is now 26-5-1 (8) and Cornelius Lock falls to 21-6-2 (13).

Female bantamweight Shelito Vincent of New London, CT, scored her first stoppage victory, not by concussion but by attrition over Alisah McPhee of British Columbia, Canada. After three rounds of competitive action, Vincent let her hands go with more abandon in the fourth, crashing hard overhand
