In the main/feature, debuting Joelle Flores by UD 2x 40-36 and 39-37, against Carma Radford. Solid fight, pretty competitive, I thought — but a bit of an odd ending. Henry Jones read the scores in the order/manner above — two judges with 40-36 and the third 39-37, without naming Flores yet — and there was enough outcry from the audience that Henry stopped reading, went over to the commission table, asked them to “make sure”, and then reiterated the scores. Odd for that strong a reaction, apparently at the possibility that the “other fighter” might have been credited with winning a round!

Tiara Brown by UD, 3x 80-72, against Simone Aparecida Da Silva. Workmanlike, per usual; Da Silva with some decent shots, but Brown never in any danger.

Joan Planas by stoppage, 2:02 of round 3, against Gladimir Jacinto, in battle of pro debutants. Good exchanges in round 1. Planas scored knockdowns against Jacinto twice in round 2, but Jacinto kept battling. More back and forth continued in round 3, Planas with an edge but Jacinto still making some returns, until Planas started a sequence against the far ropes and Brent Bovell opted to stop it.

Marlon Bolen by TKO at end of 2/beginning of 3 against Kevin Womack Jr. Both sprinted into the fight, with Bolen in particular seeming to want to try to end things with an explosive quick burst, but Womack returned in kind. Early in round 2, Womack knocked Bolen down (alas, again, blocked view of shot by Bolen’s body), but that only seemed to spur Bolen on, surging back and winning the rest of the round. At end of the round break, one of the inspectors/doctors indicated that Womack was hyperventilating; with that advice, bout was halted.

Calvin Mends by stoppage, 0:52 of round 3, against William Brown. Brown got some good shots in, too, particularly in round 1. Mends caught Brown with a nice body shot in round 2; Brown took a couple steps to his right and took a knee, but continued through the rest of the round. Mends downed Brown again in round 3, after which bout was halted.

Dante Cox by UD, 3x 40-35, against Elliot Brown. Brown more solid/competitive than the scores suggest — Cox certainly won the rounds, but he was effusive/gracious in postfight chatter with Brown.

Unanimous draw between Dionte Burts and Darel Harris, 3x 38-38 — and a very legitimate draw, both guys landing good shots and very busy throughout.

Mack Allison IV by stoppage over Mike Fowler, 2:09 of round 1. Some back and forth in opening minute before Allison took over and finally scoring knockdown. (Right in front of me, but with Fowler’s boy blocking the shot...this was a recurring theme with the night’s knockdowns!) Fowler took his time getting up, beat the count, but Brent Bovell waved it off after another look.

George Harris by UD, 39-37 and 2x 40-36, over Tony Lopez. Pretty careful fight by both...
