Laurel, MD's Demond "D'Best At It" Nicholson defeated Devaun Lee of Jamaica, Queens, NY by unanimous decision in the main event of the Jeter Promotions card at the Live! Casino/Hotel in Hanover, MD.

Nicholson landed some great counter punches that he put together after Lee's attempts to land jabs. For the first four round Nicholson applied continuous hard pressure, but Lee was able to stay in the contest. Lee did a little better job of keeping his guard up to defend himself from the hard shots Nicholson landed.

Lee also was able to land some good shots to add to his defense. Both fighters turned it into a war in round six as they exchanged shots during the entire round. 


In round seven Nicholson bounced around the ring trying to time his punches. He finally stood his ground and landed a hard right hook to back Lee into the ropes where he landed more hard left and rights to finish the round. In the eighth and final round Nicholson let his hands go. He put together a number of body shots throughout the entire round to close the show. All three judges scored the bout 79-73 for Nicholson.

Nicholson improves his record to (22-3-1, 20 KO's) while Lee falls to (10-7-1, 5 KO's).

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).

Errol Spence Jr. Unifies IBF and WBC Welterweight Title By Defeating Shawn Porter!

Errol Spence Jr. wins by split decision over Shawn Porter at the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles!

In a action packed battle of two champions, Errol Spence Jr. and Shawn Porter put everything on the line as they exchanged shots in this unification title fight. In the opening round both fighters didn't show much as punches weren't connected. In round two they landed some counter shots while each fighter looked off balance at times, but Porter was the busier fighter in this round. Porter continued to add up points with his heavier punch output.


Heading into the midway point of the fight, Spence picked up the pace as he picked his shots with accuracy to slow Porter down a little. Spence landed the better body shots, but it was Porter who shifted the momentum in the seventh and eighth rounds. Spence looked to be in a rough championship bout as his face was marked up from the pressure and connecting punches from Porter.

Spence bounced back in the ninth when he landed a devastating left-right combination to the head of Porter. Porter handled those shots as he stood in there to continue punching his way through to finish the round. Both guys continue to let their hands go, trading heavy shots on the inside during their exchange of punches in the tenth round. During the inside action from both fighters Spence suffered the first cut of his professional career. The cut was on the corner of his left eye and appeared to come from a headbutt.

Spence landed a right hook early to knock Porter off balance during the eleventh round. In the final minute of the round Porter was throwing a punch, but Spence timed a perfect left hand on the chin that landed clean to send Porter to the canvas. Porter beat the count and finished the round by throwing multiple shots that didn't have any effect after the knockdown. In the final round Porter started to add pressure by lunging in with shots, but Spence answered with his own counter shots.

This bout was definitely a war as both fighters had their moments at winning rounds, but the deciding moment may have been the knockdown in the eleventh round. Here are the scores from the judges: 116-111 for Spence, 115-112 for Porter and 116-111 for Spence.

Errol "The Truth" Spence Jr. remains undefeated at (26-0, 21 KO's) as Shown "Showtime" Porter suffers his third defeat and fall to (30-3-1, 17 KO's).

Mykal "The Profess" Fox, the southpaw jr. welterweight out of Upper Marlboro, MD defeated Eudy "AK-47" Bernardo of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic by 10-round unanimous decision on a Kings Promotions card at the Wind Creek Event Center in Bethlehem, PA.

Fox put on a dominating performance as he used excellent foot movement to work inside and outside while landing clean shots on Bernardo. It was in rounds two-four where Fox's punch count and accuracy seemed to visibly bother Bernardo. Fox's pressure increased as the bout continued to go into the deeper rounds. Bernardo looked to have a moment as he threw some shots, but they weren't effective enough to stop Fox from keeping his jab working. 

Fox staggered Bernardo in the eighth round with a straight left-right combination. At the end of the eighth referee Eric Dali took a good look at the corner of Bernardo to see if he could continue on in this contest. Bernardo answered the bell, but didn't have much to offer as the final two rounds came to a end. All three judges scored the bout a shutout for Fox with the scores of 100-90.  

Mykal Fox improves his record to (21-1, 5 KO's) while Bernardo falls to (25-5, 18 KO's).
