OZARK, AR - With two previous first-round knockouts of Russellville veteran Matt Hicks, Dexter "Dingo" Dunworth knew what to expect Saturday night (August 23) in the main event at the Ozark High School Gym. Hicks managed to last a little while longer against Dunworth the third time around. Dunworth knocked out Hicks at 2:05 of the second round in a fight that was scheduled for eight. With the victory, the 52-year-old Dunworth (8-1, 8 KOs) picked up the Mid-South Cruiserweight championship. Hicks fell to 3-12, 3 KOs.

NASHVILLE - The strategy was rather simple. But it worked to perfection. Mexico's Fernando Beltran Jr. stalked South Africa's Takalani Ndlovu for all 12 rounds enroute to winning the vacant IBO Featherweight championship by split decision Friday night (August 22) before approximately 4,000 boxing fans at the Sommet Center. The action-packed main event was televised as part of ESPN's "Friday Night Fights. The seven-bout card was promoted by Banner Promotions and Golden Gloves Promotions and was reportedly the first pro card staged in Nashville in 11 years. Judges David Hudson and Mark Streisand favored Beltran 115-112. Judge Steve Weisfeld had Ndlovu winning 114-113. Referee Clay Huddleston deducted a point from Beltran in the 10th round for low blows. A southpaw, Beltran (31-3-1, 18 KOs) piled up points with effective jabs followed by strong left hooks to the head and body. Beltran came forward throughout the fight, while Ndlovu (28-5, 18 KOs) was content to move and look for openings in Beltran's defense. Ndlovu appeared to get untracked in the fifth round when he started landing more and more combinations to the head. Ndlovu landed a solid right-left combination to the head after Beltran misfired at the end of the round. The sixth was one of Ndlovu's better rounds. He trapped Beltran along the ropes and connected with effective combinations. A strong left hook to the head from Ndlovu ended the round. Through it all, Beltran kept pressing the action. "I think I won because of my pressure from round one," Beltran said through an interpreter. "I knew he felt my pressure. I knew he was getting weaker in the later rounds when he started running and that gave me motivation to keep pressing and moving forward." Ndlovu also had a strong final round when he went out all throwing combinations. A solid right hand from Ndlovu caught Beltran clean;ly. But it was too little, too late as far as Ndlovu was concerned. Ndlovu trainer Nic Durant said he thought his charge landed the more telling blows. "I thought my guy landed the more effective punches," Durant said. "I think the promoters will set up a rematch. We'll just have to convince the judges better next time." NASHVILLE - Harry Joe Yorgey doesn't possess that big eraser, the ability to knock out opponents with one hand. But Yorgey makes up for that deficiency in his game in other ways. Yorgey pretty much out-boxed and out-worked Portland, ME's Jason LeHoullier for 12 rounds. Yorgey's victory by majority decision allowed Yorgey to capture the vacant IBF North American Junior Middleweight championship on Friday night (August 22) at the Sommet Center before some 4,000 fans. The Yorgey-LeHoullier fight was the co-feature on the seven-bout card that was promoted by Banner Promotions and Golden Gloves Promotions. In the main event, Mexico's Fernando Beltran Jr. won a split decision over South Africa's Takalani Ndlovu to capture the vacant IBO Featherweight world championship. Yorgey got the nod on two judges' cards 117-111 and 116-112. The third card had a draw at 114-114. It was the first major championship for the 30-year-old Yorgey, a resident of Bridgeport, PA. "I've been waiting for this my whole life," the popular Yorgey said as he paraded the belt outside the ring much to the the delight of a substantial fan following. "This is a big stepping stone for me. This puts me in the Top 10 in the world. My trainer told me to finish every round strong. I just kept the combinations coming. "We had a plan," said Yorgey, who improved to 21-0-1, 9 KOs. "The plan was to take a step back and throw the uppercut, take a step back and throw the right hand." "The key was conditioning," said Yorgey trainer Henry Racich. "Nobody trains like this kid. He trains like an animal." The fight was staged in the middle of the ring for the first three rounds with each fighter giving as well as taking. But Yorgey appeared to take the upperhand in the fourth when he began landing more of the cleaner shots, especially with the right hand. A right uppercut proved to be a staple for Yorgey throughout the fight. LeHoullier (21-1-1, 9 KOs) managed to trap Yorgey along the ropes from time to time. But Yorgey didn't stay trapped long and escaped danger and landed some shots of his own. Yorgey finished each round strong, firing combinations to the head and body. "(Yorgey) threw five, six, seven and eight punches. He was more successful when he was moving. That was a big factor," Racich said. In the final round, Yorgey caught LeHoullier with three sharp right hands to the head to begin the round. At one point, Yorgey unloaded eight unanswered punches while LeHoullier was along the ropes. LeHoullier escaped the punishment with a sharp left hook and moved away. "In the 11th and 12th, I just tore him apart," Yorgey said. "When I heard 114-114, I was shocked. The 117-111 and 116-112 were more like what I thought it was. Every round we broke him down." REID SUFFERS STOPPAGE: Reid (34-11, 19 KOs) looked every bit like the 35-year-old fighter who had lost his last six entering the fight. Reid was never in the fight and was dropped twice in the fight, including once each in the first two rounds. Vlasov was docked two points by referee Clay Huddleston for knocking down Reid after the bell. Just seconds after the opening bell, Vlasov put Reid on the seat of his trunks with a left hook. Vlasov spent the remaining part of the round dropping right hands on Reid. The carnage continued in the second round. Bleeding heavily from the nose, Reid went down again from a jab followed by a right hand from Vlasov (13-0, 5 KOs). Shortly after Vlasov connected with a right hand in the fourth round, Huddleston waved off the bout. GALARZA TKOs LOGAN: Galarza (15-2, 12 KOs) floored Logan (10-17-2, 5 KOs) with powerful right hand. Referee Clay Huddleston soon waved off the bout. The victory for Galarza was his sixth straight. WIGGINS STOPS COOPER: Wiggiins (9-22, 5 KOs) registered the first of two knockdowns against Cooper (20-6-2, 15 KOs) earlier in the round via a left hook.The second knockdown was a result of a right hand that was followed by a left hook. The bout was then waved off. BROWN-HUNT DRAW: Brown, an Army Staff Sargent based out of Fort Campbell, KY, started quickly with nice work to the body against Hunt. Brown also had a pretty good jab working. But Hunt (12-21-1, 5 KOs) picked it over the final two rounds with solid combinations. Hunt had Brown (4-3-2) in trouble in the fourth round from a solid right hand that was Hunt's best punch of the fight. A winging left hook from Hunt had Brown reeling backward. LEIVA WINS DEBUT: The fighters traded punishing hooks through the better part of two rounds. Leiva floored Jones with a left hook late in the second round. A counter right floored Jones again in the third. A little later in the round, Jones turned his back and walked toward his corner. The fight was promptly waved off.. IOWA CITY, IA - Light welterweight Aaron Anderson's professional boxing debut wasn't all that much of a blast Friday night (August 22) at the Johnson County Fairgrounds. A resident of Knoxville, Anderson dropped a four-round unanimous decision to Omaha, NE's Terrance Crawford (4-0, 2 KOs). Judges' scores were 40-34 X 2 and 40-33. LEMOORE, CA - Monroe, LA heavyweight Andrew Greeley has made a name for himself as a test against prospects looking to make that next step up the ladder. Despite a losing record, Greeley fought for the WBC`Caribbean Boxing Federation (CABOFE) Heavyweight championship Thursday night (August 21) against defending champion Manuel Quezada at Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino. Greeley apparently turned in a lackluster performance in the main event against Quezada. In losing his third straight, and ninth out of his last 10 fights, Greeley lost by wide margins on the three officials scorecards (100-90 X 2 and 97-93. Greeley dropped to 14-23-2, 8 KOs, while Quezada improved to 24-4, 15 KOs. He has won 13 straight fights. Beltran, Ndlovu Match 125.5 Pounds NASHVILLE - Both Mexico's Fernando Beltran Jr. and South Africa's Takalani Ndlovu came in just under the limit during Thursday's official weigh-in for their 12-round bout on Friday (August 22) with the vacant IBO Featherweight championship on the line at Sommet Center.

RAYNE, LA - Professional boxers usually think of that first loss as a learning experience. Fighting in front of a home crowd, lightweight Mason Menard was knocked out at 28 seconds of the opening round by Gulfport, MS' Carl McNickols Saturday night (August 16) in the "Rumble N Rayne" main event. The six-round main event at Rayne Civic Center was one of five pro bout on the card, promoted by Chad Broussard's Boxncar Promotions/ McNickols improved to 5-1, 5 KOs, while Menard dropped to 2-1, 2 KOs. "Menard is usually hard to hit because he has such good head movement. I think he was worried about the people in the crowd," said Broussard, who serves as Menard's promoter. "I don't think he was focused on the fight and got caught with an overhand right. Mason got up, but he was still wobbled. If the referee hadn't stopped it, I would have." Broussard said he hoped Menard can take something away from the first loss. "This was a valuable lesson and a learning experience," Broussard said. "It was a big blow. Like I've always said, it has to be a learning experience. God is trying to get your attention one way or the other." Broussard said Menard will take some time off before returning to the ring. Broussard said he is working on something for sometime next month in New Orleans. The six-round co-feature saw Breaux Bridge, LA light middleweight Jarred LeBlanc win by TKO in the first round over late sub Jerrick Stephens, of Shreveport. Stephens replaced Anthony Adams, of Laurel, MS. A right hand floored Stephens. Then a body shot followed and the fight was stopped. LeBlanc has won all three bouts by KO. Stephens dropped to 2-13, 2 KOs. "Jarred is still inexperienced. He just needs more fights under his belt," Broussard said of his fighter. "But Jarred did very well." A six-round junior welterweight clash saw Mobile, AL's Mario Lacey snap a 12-fight losing skid with a third-round TKO of St. Martinville's Jason Doucet. In snapping the losing streak that spanned four years, In landing some strong right hands, Lacey moved to 8-18-4, 7 KOs. Doucet fell to 4-12, 1 KO. "Doucet was winning the fight going away. I've been working with Doucet for the last two months, and he has a habit of sticking his chin up in the air," Broussard said. "Doucet threw a punch and left himself exposed." Gulfport light heavyweight Gevonte Davis was a four-round unanimous decision winner over Sardis, MS' William "Pete" Johnson. Davis moved to 3-1-1, 2 KOs, while Johnson fell to 9-17-1, 3 KOs. Former amateur heavyweight sensation Quantis Graves won his pro debut as a cruiserweight. A native of New Orleans who currently resides in Beaumont, TX, Graves outlasted Mobile veteran Charles Phillip Hammac (4-21, 2 KOs). Graves weighed 181 pounds, while Hammac weighed 178. "Hammac is slick and cagy, but Quantis had him hurt several times," Broussard said. "Quantis is not at a place where he knows what to do right now, but this was a perfect fight for his debut. Hammac made Quantis fight." BILOXI, MS - Flashy Nate "The Galaxxy Warrior" Campbell makes the first defense of his IBF/WBO/WBA world lightweight titles against unbeaten two-division world champion Joan "Sycuan Warrior" Guzman on Saturday, Sept. 13 at the Beau Rivage Theatre. Campbell (32-5-1, 25 KOs), a resident of Tampa, FL, who is originally from Jacksonville, picked up his titles in a tremendous upset over previously undefeated unified lightweight champion Juan "Baby Bull" Diaz. Campbell outgunned and battered the previously unbeaten Diaz in his most recent appearance on March 8 in Cancun, Mexico. He won the fight by split decision, but clearly dominated his opponent. The event is being promoted by Don King Productions, in association with Beau Rivage. The Campbell vs. Guzman main event will be presented in association with One Punch Productions and will also be televised on SHOWTIME Championship Boxing beginning at 8 p.m. CT. Also on the card is a 12-round WBC Light Welterweight championship fight between champion, Palm Springs, CA's Timothy Bradley (22-0, 11 KOs), and challenger Edner "Cherry Bomb" Cherry (24-5-2, 12 KOs), from Wauchula, FL. A World Boxing Council 12-round featherweight elimination bout is on the card. It showcases No. 1-ranked Hector Velasquez (50-11-2, 35 KOs), from Tijuana, Mexico, against No. 2-ranked Elio "The Kid" Rojas (19-1, 13 KOs), from the Dominican Republic, now fighting out of Brooklyn, NY. The winner becomes the WBC featherweight mandatory challenger, guaranteeing a title shot. At age 36, Campbell finds himself in possession of three world titles and great interest from the likes of the unbeaten Guzman-already a champion at the 122- and 130-pound limits, who would like to take away what Campbell has recently won at the 135-pound limit. Guzman (28-0, 17 KOs), from the Dominican Republic, now residing in Brooklyn, NY, was scheduled to defend his WBO Junior Lightweight crown against Alex Arthur on May 3 in Arthur's home country of Scotland. When Arthur insisted on a later date, Guzman opted to move up to lightweight to challenge Campbell. (Guzman also previously held the WBO Junior Featherweight championship). The clash pits Campbell's relentless and punishing style against the savvy, agile and rabbit-quick Guzman. Campbell is known for having some of the heaviest hands in the division, while Guzman is a defensive wizard who rarely gets hit and can also dish out serious punishment. As if three world titles being on the line were not enough intrigue for one match, a personal rivalry has been brewing with a war of words between the two spilling into the press. The firestorm recently started after Guzman castigated Campbell after photos of his recent wedding began to appear on boxing Web sites. "Everyone has seen the picture of Nate and his wife in their cute, white wedding outfits," Guzman said. "I hope they're enjoying their honeymoon because Nate's honeymoon at the top of the lightweight division is going to end once he fights me. "I think he's afraid of me," Guzman added. "I'll make Nate look so bad that he'll retire after I wipe the floor with him. I guess I can understand why Nate doesn't want to fight me. Twenty-eight boxers have tried to beat me and none of them came close to succeeding." The equally loquacious Campbell wasted little time in responding to Guzman. "This clown (Guzman) reminds me of one of those yapping little rat dogs," Campbell said. "[They] yip, yip, yip at your ankles." With pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao moving up in weight to dethrone David Diaz to claim the remaining major world championship at lightweight on June 28, both Campbell and Guzman would love nothing more than to emerge victorious in the hopes of possibly luring the "Pac Man" into a match to determine the undisputed lightweight champion. "Nate Campbell is the rare boxer who can back up his talk," promoter Don King said. "That's why I love him. He comes straight at you, tells you what he's going to do, and then he executes his game plan. He's truly one of the most exciting fighters we have in boxing today, and Beau Rivage should be commended for stepping up to host one of the bigger fights of the year." Alfaro, Solomon Fight Aug. 30 In Atlanta ATLANTA - Rugged Laurel, MS welterweight Miguel Alfaro meets Orlando's "Pretty Boy" Michael Jean Louis in a six-round clash on Adrian Patrick's August 30 KO Kings Boxing card at the Holiday Inn Select, located by the Atlanta Braves' Stadium. The six-fight card will be aired live on the internet via the website www.kokings.net. This show will be shown free to members that join the site. Alfaro (3-4) is originally from El Salvador. In his last outing, in June, Alfaro was TKO'd in the first round by Gulfport, MS' Derrick Lee (3-1, 3 KOs) at D'Iberville, MS. Alfaro is a replacement on the Atlanta card for Carlos Pena. Alfaro is 1-1 in six-round bouts. It will be the first scheduled six-rounder for Jean Louis (4-0, 4 KOs). Jean Louis was last seen in action in June winning by knockout over North Carolina's Alvin Baker at the Holiday Inn Select, in Atlanta. He has knocked out all but one opponent in the opening round. Also, Lafayette, LA resident and former Olympic Trials finalist "Busy Bee" Brad Solomon (1-0), battles Atlanta's Marcus Brooks (6-5, 3 KOs) in a six-round junior middleweight clash. The main event on the card is an eight-round middleweight clash between Orlando's Anthony "Ice" Greenidge (11-1-1, 5 KOs) against Chicago's Louis Turner (12-1, 8 KOs). Turner won his first 11 professional fights before he lost an eight-round unanimous decision to fellow Chicagoan Angel "Toro" Hernandez last year at Hoffman Estates, IL. In 2003, Hernandez fought and lost a 12-round split decision to Ronald "Winky" Wright for the IBF Light Middleweight title. Greenidge has won his last three fights, including forcing veteran Shannon Miller to retire after the second round in his last bout in June at the Holiday Inn Select. Greenidge was TKO's in the fifth round last year by wiley Antonio Baker (6-10, 3 KOs). Three other six-rounders are scheduled. Gainesville, GA lightweight "Head Honcho" Tyrese Hendrix (13-0, 6 KOs) goes up against Colombia's Luis Bolano (41-10, 31 KOs). Bolano twice was stopped in bids to win super flyweight championships.

A four-round female light middleweight bout pits "The Truth" Charmaine Carrington (2-0) against Cimberly Harris (5-10), in a four- round female bout. RUSSELLVILLE, AR - Coming into Saturday's (August 9) main event, local light heavyweight Albert Martin already knew there was to know about Purcell, OK's Mitch Raines. After all, Martin had stopped Raines by TKO in the third round only three months earlier. Saturday at the L.V. Williams Boys and Girls Club, Martin needed less than one round of the scheduled eight to dispatch Raines by TKO again. The end of the fight came at the 2:32 mark. Martin improved to 7-1, 6 KOs. Raines dropped to 2-4, 2 KOs. The Martin-Raines main event headlined an 11-bout card promoted by Slugout Productions. The 10 other bouts were scheduled for four rounds. Results are below: COLUMBUS, MS - A quick glance at Tuscaloosa, AL heavyweight Marcus McGee's opponents and one sees he has fought some of the best the division has to offer. McGee has lost by decision to top heavyweights like Jameel McCline, Danny Williams, Malik Scott and Michael Grant. He has also lost by stoppage against the likes of Sultan Ibragimov and Roman Greenberg, to name a few. So when McGee entered the ring Friday night (August 8) for a six-round feature bout against a 2-16-2 Douglas Robertson, it figured to be a blowout victory for McGee. That logic proved to be untrue as McGee labored to win a unanimous decision over Robertson. McGee (21-16, 10 KOs) won on the official scorecards 58-56 X 2 and 60-56 at Trotter Convention Center. It was a rematch of a bout from two years ago when McGee won a four-round majority decision at Lafayette, LA. "The key was being patient and breaking him down with the right hand," McGee said. "He got better since the last time we fought. He's a survivor basically, so I played into his hand and fought his kind of fight. I changed my strategy to what he was doing, and that made the fight drag out." McGee managed to land a few combinations early. It was in the fifth round when a straight right hand from McGee sent Robertson down in his own corner with less than 10 seconds to go in the round. For the remainder of the bout, McGee managed to land some effective right hands. For his part, Robertson's best work was to the body. "It was a bit of a lackadaisical effort," McGee said. "He hung in there. My endurance level was not 100 percent, so I made a night of it instead of going for the kill." The 37-year-old McGee said he is in discussions to meet former WBO champion Lamon Brewster (33-4, 29 KOs). "We want to get back and fight the Top 10 contenders," McGee said. "You always want to fight on that world level. I'll fight anybody, anywhere, anytime." The 10-bout card was promoted by Skyy Boxing Promotions and O-1 Productions. 'Bolo' Wills Returns In Impressive Fashion COLUMBUS, MS - Damian "Bolo" Wills needed a confidence-builder after losing a 10-round unanimous decision last year against unbeaten prospect Kevin Johnson (19-0-1, 6 KOs). Wills got what he needed Friday night (August 9) against Connecticut's Gregory Stanley McGhee in an eight-round feature bout at Trotter Convention Center. Wills won by TKO at 1:55 of the third round. A three-punch flurry forced referee Jeff Dodson to step in and stop the bout. A right hook from Wills had rocked McGhee earlier in the round. With the victory, Wills improved to 23-2-1, 17 KOs. McGhee dropped to 6-10, 4 KOs. Wills weighed 262 pounds, while McGhee weighed 259 pounds. "I needed to get back on the road knocking people out," Wills said. "It felt good to be back. I have a new team around me, and I felt great." Besides the loss to Johnson, Wills was stopped in the seventh round two years ago by current WBC Continental Americas champion Chris Arreola (24-0, 21 KOs). Arreola is ranked No. 4 by the WBC, while Johnson is No. 15. The Wills-McGhee bout was a co-feature on a 10-fight card presented by Skyy Boxing promotions and O-1 Productions. OUTLEY UPSETS MIDDLEBROOKS: Outley (14-49-2, 11 KOs) used effective movement to keep Middlebrooks (8-3-1, 7 KOs) guessing. Outley won by a shutout on all three official scorecards. Whenever Middlebrooks got in close, Outley, scored with hooks to the head and body and then moved out of danger. BALLARD TOPS KING: Ballard (7-14, 2 KOs) flattened King (4-3, 4 KOs) with a straight right and a right hook in the third round. The second knockdown also took out referee Larry Ingle after he found himself behind King as King stumbled backward. The fourth round was spent with King holding on. Ballard won 40-36 and 38-37 on two cards. The third card had it 37-37. LEATHERWOOD RIPS DINKINS: The 2005 JO national champion, Leatherwood floored Dinkins three times in the opening round and won by TKO at 1:34 of the first round. The fight was scheduled for four rounds. The first knockdown came after a 20-punch flurry from Leatherwood. The second was a result of a strong right hand. And the third and final knockdown came from a left-right combo that put Dinkins (10-45-3, 8 KOs) on the seat of his pants. Referee Larry Ingle waved off the bout after the third knockdown. CUNNINGHAM TKOs FORET: Cunningham stalked Foret (1-11, 1 KO) from the opening bell and put down Foret three times in the short bout, which was scheduled for four. The final knockdown was a result of a left hand to the head as Foret came forward. DOUGHTY STOPS DAVIS: The heavily-muscled Doughty put Davis down twice from left hooks. After the second knockdown, the bout was waved off by referee Larry Ingle. DUKES DECISIONS PARFAIT: Dukes (3-0, 1 KO), from Tuscaloosa, used a stiff jab to keep Parfait (2-18). at bay. Though economical with his punches, Dukes found some success with overhand rights against Parfait, a Bay St. Louis resident. 'BIG WORM' WINS: The 352-pound Nichols (1-2, 1 KO) had a 147-pound weight advantage over Martin (0-7). The punishing left hand that ended the fight stretched out Martin. He was counted out by referee Jeff Dodson. COLUMBUS, MS - A little spice in the way of a 12-round championship bout was added in the last few days to the August 8 professional boxing card at the Trotter Convention Center. The North American Boxing Council (NABC) Welterweight championship will be on the line in the main event when Mark Chang (13-2, 10 KOs), of Washington, DC, meets Kentucky veteran Shawn Simmons (26-16-1, 16 KOs). It will be the first fight for Simmons since his January, 2006 TKO (2) loss to former IBA Light Welterweight champion Adrian Mora (19-1-1, 11 KOs). "It should be an interesting fight. Chang has the better overall record, but Simmons has fought the better competition. It's a nice contrast of styles," said Skyy Boxing Promotions' Jay Deas Wednesday morning. "The fight was finalized two days ago. Hopefully by today, everything will be signed, sealed and delivered." Friday's fights in Columbus will be the second all-boxing card in the city in 25 years. Trotter Convention Center hosted a February card. Oliver Miller's 01 Boxing Productions is co-promoting the card. The 39-year-old Chang won a NABC championship at a higher weight in his last bout in November when he won a unanimous decision over Indiana's Craig Houk (67-36, 18 KOs) at Winston-Salem, NC. Chang has won seven straight bouts since a 1997 loss by unanimous decision to Great Britain's Jason Hall (10-5, 2 KOs). The most familiar name on Chang's record is a bout against Charles (Chucky T) Tschorniawsky (25-9-1, 14 KOs)in Chang's pro debut. Chang was TKO'd in the opening round of that bout. Simmons has fought and lost by TKO against the likes of former WBA Lightweight champion Lakva Sim (21-4-1, 18 KOs), former WBO Super Featherweight champion Angel Manfredy (43-8-1, 32 KOs) and world lightweight title contender Billy Irwin (42-6, 30 KOs). Feature bouts on the card include an eight-round heavyweight rematch between Tuscaloosa, AL's Marcus McGee (20-16, 10 KOs) and Douglas Robertson (2-16-2), of Longview, TX.

EL CAJON, CA - The downward spiral continued for Knoxville, TN welterweight Thomas Davis tonight (July 30). Fighting on the opening bout of the ESPN2-televised card outdoors at Sycuan Resort & Casino, Thomas was knocked out in the second round by undefeated Argentinian slugger Luis Carlos Abregu. The knockout came via a right hand. After the knockdown, a Thomas cornerman stepped on the ring apron to signal an end to the fight. Referee Tony Krebs waved off the bout at 58 seconds of the round. The fight was scheduled for 10 rounds. The loss was the fifth in the last six bouts for Thomas (12-8-2, 7 KO), including four by knockout. Abregu (23-0, 20 KOs) collected his 16th straight knockout. Abregu came out throwing right hooks from the opening bell. Thomas was knocked down in the first round by a clean right hook to the chin. He went down in his own corner. Early in the second round, Abregu faked a right hook and came with the left that caught Davis. Davis and Abregu were fighting on the undercard of the main event between welterweight Jose Luis Castillo and Sebastian Lujan. A heavyweight rematch headlines the August 8 professional boxing card at Trotter Convention Center in Columbus, MS. The August 8 show, promoted by Skyy Boxing Promotions and 01 Productions, is only the second all-boxing card in 25 years staged in Columbus. The first card was last February, also at Trotter Convention Center. The main event is an eight-rounder between Tuscaloosa's Marcus McGee (20-16, 10 KOs) and Douglas Robertson (2-16-2), of Longview, TX. The 37-year-old McGee won a four-round majority decision over the 33-year-old Robertson two years ago at Lafayette, LA. "McGee won by one point on two cards two years ago, and Douglas has been asking me for a rematch. We're going to give it to him," said Skyy Boxing promoter Jay Deas. "It ought to be an entertaining fight." The main event is one of eight fights on the card. Tickets are $25 and the first fight is scheduled for 7 p.m. For tickets, contact Deas at 205-799-1696, or promoter Oliver Miller at 662-364-2443. McGee enters the fight against Robertson off a six-round, unanimous decision loss to current British heavyweight champion Danny Williams (40-6, 31 KOs) in April, at Tampa. McGee also lost a 10-round decision to Jameel McCline (38-9-3, 23 KOs).

Former national amateur champion Keondre Leatherwood (1-0), from Tuscaloosa, meets a rugged veteran in Mobile's Ricky Dinkins (10-44-3, 8 KOs) in a four-round middleweight bout. Leatherwood won his professional debut on the February carrd in Columbus. The 19-year-old Leatherwood was the 2005 JO National champion.

Nothing But Knockouts In Undercard Bouts TUNICA, MS - Prize Fight Boxing middleweight Fernando Guerrero's customary broad smile belies his ferocity in the ring. Guerrero stalked Oakland, CA opponent Fernando Barajas from the opening bell and made him quit on his feet in the fourth round. The TKO victory at the 2:33 mark of the round kept Guerrero undefeated at 9-0, all by knockout. The fight was scheduled for six rounds. The Guerrero-Barajas fight at Fiitzgeralds Resort and Casino was on the undercard of the heavyweight main event between Adam Richards and Charles Davis and promoted by Prize Fight Boxing. Richards won an eight-round unanimous decision. Guerrero is from Salisbury, MD, who is now living and training in Memphis. Barajas (4-2) was on the defensive throughout the bout as Guerrero waded in throwing a bevy of lead left hooks to the head and body.Barajas offered little in return. "Fernando was a little tight starting off because he knew he was going up against a guy with a good pedigree," said trainer Hal Chernoff. "It was body shots that caused him to quit. It was another one of those 'No Mas' fights He took a lot of abuse before that." By the third round, Guerrero was landing with most everything he threw. Guerrero effectively cut the ring off and there was no place for Barajas to hide from the punishment. At the start of the fourth round, A Guerrero flurry had Barajas against the ropes. A body shot in the assault convinced Barajas to rethink his commitment. "His jab became looser and quicker later and he put it together with a hook at the end," Chernoff said. "To sum it up, he did a good job, but he still has room for improvement. We want to put the word out about his hand speed so people will know he's a complete fighter." Barajas was the second fighter to reach the fourth round against Guerrero. One other bout got as far as the third round. "I'm glad I didn't knock him out in the first round. I like Io give a good show for the fans. I take my hat off to anybody who steps into that ring," Guerrero said. Guerrero said the key to the victory was simply heeding his corner's instructions. "I listened well in the corner," Guerrero said. "The first round they told me to touch him, then touch him to the body. When I did that, I saw (Chernoff) was right and got the job done. Every punch I throw is with intentions of good technique, not knocking them out. Whatever is the result is what happens." FARAH ENNIS WINS: The knockout was late in coming as a left hook to the body floored Rumbolz for good in the sixth and final round. With Rumbolz in a sitting position, referee Randy Phillips counted Rumbolz out at the 2:14 mark of the round. Ennis (6-0, 4 KOs) scored four knockdowns through the first four rounds, including two knockdowns by body shots. The furious attack from Ennis had Rumbolz (21-18, 15 KOs) unwilling to mount any kind of offense for fear of a counter. DEREK ENNIS WINS: Fighting for the first time in Tunica, Derek Ennis (15-2, 12 KOs) won by TKO at 2:09 of the first round of a six-round junior middleweight fight. Ennis scored three knockdowns against Gallegos (6-4, 1 KO). Derek Ennis put Gallegos down the first two times from a left jab followed by a right hook. The final knockdown was a result of four consecutive left hands. Referee Randy Phillips waved off the bout. CUNNINGHAM TKOs ROSS: It was a combination from Cunningham that did the trick. Cunningham improved to 2-0, 2 KOs, while Ross dropped to 2-3, 2 KOs. The next Prize Fight "Fights at the Fitz" card is scheduled for Sept. 20.

It appeared from the opening bell Philadelphia native and Memphis resident Farah Ennis was in for a knockout victory against Illinois' Bruce Rumbolz in their super middleweight bout.
Philadelphia's Derek Ennis Jr., Farah's brother, wasted little time in disposing of Oregon's Enrique Gallegos.
A four-round light heavyweight fight didn't go the distance. Jackson's Billy Cunningham took out Southaven's Jason "The Boss" Ross by TKO at 2:22 of the second round.
