Winston Thorpe (3-0-1) and a game Jesse Barboza (4-1-1), who rallied from being dropped twice in the second round, fought to a 4-round draw. Thorpe had handed Barboza his only loss this past May. Spectators were in shock when the decision was announced. It was clear that Thorpe again had clearly beaten the home town favorite. When you score two knock downs in a four round fight 999.9 % of the time you are surely going to come out with a victory, unless of course you’re in Rhode Island. Congrats Winston on a job well done. Keep up the hard work
