From Staff Reports
TEXARKANA, AR - Charles Hatley showed how he got to be the 2007 United States Amateur welterweight champion on the Jan. 20 McMurry Productions boxing card from Shooters Sports Bar.

Hatley, from nearby Dallas, recorded the TKO at 2:15 of the opening round. Every fight on the eight-bout card was scheduled for four rounds.
Another Dallas super middleweight, Larry Smith, was also successful. Smith recorded his seventh straight victory as he knocked out local fighter Antwan Burris at 1:14 of the first round.

Pryor won his second straight and moved to 6-6, 4 KOs. Morrison was making his pro debut.
Alicio "Iron" Castaneda also had too much experience for local fighter Devenere Rose, who was making his pro debut. Fighting at 140 pounds, Castaneda forced Rose to retire after the second round. Castaneda, from Cut & Shoot, TX, improved to 8-1, 5 KOs.
Houston heavyweight Justin Jones wasted little time n his bout against local Buddy Cochrane. The 256-pound Jones (5-0-1, 3 KOs) took out the 220-pound Cochrane (0-3) at 2:15 of the opening round.
Skip Scott, also a Houston heavyweight, Skip Scott, TKO'd local Cody Obenosky at 2:40 of the second round. Scott (5-1, 4 KOs) won his second straight bout. Obenosky was making his pro debut.
