Robert Dunton Wins by TKO over Johnny
Rowell 1:56 of round 2
Recap: Dunton showed great patients and maturity as he did not allow
an awkward and often times free swinging Rowell to entice him into
an early slug fest. Dunton countered an early barrage of power shots
from Rowell with stiff jabs and counter rights until he was able to
slow the fast moving North Carolina fighter enough to land a big
right cross causing Referee Mark Campbell to pause the action for an
eight count that coincided with the round ending bell, saving Rowell
from any more punishment in the first round. It did not take long
for Dunton to realize that Rowell was still feeling the effects of
his big right hand He moved in fast to close deal overwhelming
Rowell with precision power shots sealing his fate at 1:56 of the
second round and improving his perfect unbeaten record to 3-0, 3KO
Ryan Shay wins by TKO over Kevin Varnadore: 46 of round 2
Recap: A solid performance by both fighters with the action ebbing
and flowing in the first round. Varnadore gets caught with a big
right hand in the second, flooring the tough aggressor. He somehow
managed to pull himself off the mat before the count of ten to no
avail, as Shay showed no mercy and closed the deal at :46 seconds of
round two.
Adrian Redmond wins by KO over W.J. Gaines
Recap: Redmond and Gaines did not disappoint the crowd in what could
be billed as one of the fight of the nights. Gaines forced the
action early in the first with crisp jabs coming from different
angles as he tried to confuse the tall lanky Redmond from North
Carolina. Redmond maintained his composure and countered by slipping
and coming over the top with hammering right hands forcing Gaines’
Hall of fame Trainer and father, Jody Gaines, to rethink his
strategy by yelling to his fighter to double up on the jab and move.
Both fighters having a mutual respect for each other went through
feeling out periods that didn’t set well with the crowd but was very
understandable from a boxing standpoint, as we all know that boxing
is like a chess game. Think before you move. Not wanting to
disappoint the crowd both fighters picked up the pace exchanging
blows until Gaines was caught with a devastating right hand to the
body that would of ended the night for anyone. Redmond wins by KO at
2:49 of round three.
Derrick Crockett wins by TKO over David Sikes
Recap: Sikes felling the pressure to perform well for the Plex
crowed came out at a blistering pace trying to end the fight before
it started. Crockett, knowing Sikes couldn’t keep up such an
up-tempo pace for four rounds covered up, protecting himself from
the big shots and threw solid shots of his own when the opportunity
presented itself. Crockett’s strategy to stay patient and weather
the storm proved beneficial as Sikes expended everything he had in
the first round and was unable to answer the bell for the start of
the second.
Brad Binder wins by TKO over Erick Turner
Recap: Binder put on a body punching clinic as he disposed of the
very game Erick Turner. Turner initiated the onslaught of body
punching abuse when he tried some bulling tactics early on in the
fight that didn’t sit well with the brick house built fighter from
South Carolina. Binder by TKO at :33 of round 2.
