Washington DC super bantamweight Marcus Bates world-title cut short tonight on the Showtime Championship Boxing telecast at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Conn.
Ra' eese Aleem of Las Vegas, NV by way of Muskegon, MI gave a championship caliber performance as he out boxed Bates before stopping him at 2:18 in the 10th round of a scheduled 12-round WBA title eliminator bout.
It was an even more difficult fight for Bates as he injured his right hand or wrist during the contest.
Bates falls to (11-2-1, 8 KO's) while Aleem continues to seek a championship title shot with a record of (17-0, 11 KO's).
