Baltimore, MD's Franchon Crews Dezurn Captures WBC Super Middleweight Championship Title!

Baltimore, MD super middleweight "The Heavy Hitting Diva" Franchon Crews Dezurn won the vacant WBC Super Middleweight championship by majority decision over Maricela "La Diva" Cornejo tonight at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV.

In the televised bout on ESPN2 Cornejo could not get past the power shots of Dezurn. In the mid-rounds Dezurn started to land her right hand after making the adjustments from the wide shots she was throwing earlier in the bout. The constant pressure from Dezurn looked to take Cornejo completely out of the fight. Dezurn was clearly the more focused and aggressive fighter. From ringside judge Patricia Morse Jarman didn't see it that way by scoring the bout 95-95. She was overruled by judges Dave Moretti and Tim Cheatham who both scored the bout for Dezurn, 99-91.

Franchon Crews Dezurn (4-1, 1 KO).  Maricela Cornejo's record drops to (12-3, 5 KO's).
