Last night at the 2300 Arena on the Raging Babe/Peltz Boxing Promotions 50th Anniversary card in Philadelphia, Baltimore, MD welterweight Kevin "The Scarecrow" Womack, Jr. lost by first-round knockout to Shinard Bunch of Trenton, NJ. 

Womack opened up the round as the more aggressive fighter by landing some of the early shots on Bunch. Bunch quickly switched things up on Womack when he landed a good left hook to send Womack's mouthpiece flying out of his mouth. During a pause in the action the mouthpiece was replace. 

That early left hand from Bunch clearly was effective enough to keep Womack unsteady. Bunch could see that Womack was hurt so he continued to come forward with more pressure. 


Bunch landed two more hard shots. It was a right counter punch followed by a left hook to send Womack to the canvas. Bunch was told to go to a neutral corner by referee Eric Dali. Once Bunch made it to the corner Dali turned to start his count for Womack, but he clearly saw Womack wasn't in any condition to continue the fight. Referee Eric Dali waived the bout off at 1:56 of the opening round. 

After gathering himself, Womack met Bunch in the center of the ring to congratulate him. Kevin Womack Jr. falls to (9-19-4, 7 KO's) while Shinard Bunch is now (3-1, 3 KO's).
