We'll be in RI tonight, live-tweeting from ringside... Chris
Chatman versus Grady Brewer plus 5 other bouts http://fb.me/1FE1PUapv
Bout one from Twin
River
They seem to prefer the explicit lyrics for the fighters’ intro
music here at Twin
River
Bout 1, heavies, Glenn Thomas of East Stroudsburg, PA, versus Jesse Barboza of Hyannis, MA, 4 rounds.
A mostly ponderous first round sees Barboza landing with a
solid jab and a heavy left hook in 1st half round; then lots of clutching.
In the second Glenn Thomas lands a big right hand of his own
which draws ooohs & aahhs from the crowd, Baboza has bloodied Glenn Thomas’ nose with the jab.
Barboza outweighs Thomas by almost 20 pounds & he's trying to use it in the 3rd, putting his body on Thomas in the corners, muscling him.
Barboza outweighs Thomas by almost 20 pounds & he's trying to use it in the 3rd, putting his body on Thomas in the corners, muscling him.
For about a minute in round 2 Thomas was able to give
Barboza some movement but Barboza has walked
& worn him down.
How Glenn Thomas just remained
on his feet after Barboza slammed a
head-spinning left hook against his jaw is a real mystery. #DecentChin
Waiting on the scorecards now, which are likely to be
Unanimous. Although clearly skilled ,
Thomas didn't win a round.
As expected ,
Jesse Barboza wins a Unanimous 4 round decision with 3 scores of 4 rounds to
none over Glenn Thomas
Bout 2, middles, KJ Harrison-Lombardi, of Providence, RI,
versus Jason Bakanowski of Worcester,
MA, 4 rounds.
Jason Bakanowski, a southpaw, posed
a bit of a puzzle for Harrison-Lombardi in a close, sloppy first round.
Harrison-Lombardi was able to find the range on the wild
swinging, lunging Bakanowski in the second.
After three, Harrison-Lombardi is ahead 2-1 in rounds
according to this observer.
An entertaining fourth & final round sees
Harrison-Lombardi snapping back the head of Bakanowski with a double left hook.
The scorecards are 38-38, 39-37 and 39-37 in favor of KJ
Harrison-Lombardi who improves to 5-0-1 while Jason Bakanowski drops to 0-2.

Brewer for some of the clutching and grabbing the veteran was using to stymie
Chatman's offense. But Ref. Steve Smoger kept things under control and Chatman
