DAVIS TOPS MEDINA IN TOUGH REMATCH

West Philly's Jamaal Davis came out on top in his tough rematch with Eberto Medina Saturday night at Bally's Atlantic City. Davis grinded out an 8-round split decision in the evening's junior middleweight main event. In their first go-round last July 15th, Davis and Medina battled to a 6-round draw. But this time Davis boxed his way past his difficult opponent down the  stretch  to gain the victory. The additional two rounds made the difference and gave  Davis the time he needed to edge his way into the lead of the very tough bout. In a typically quick start, Davis used a nice jab and a number of economical... (MORE)

    

 
                 
 

   

MAYFIELD CRUSHES SERRANO

Undefeated Philly prospect Raymond Serrano was defeated for the first time in his professional career by Karim Mayfield of San Francisco Friday night on ESPN2.

The cat-and-mouse game heated up as early as round one with both fighters landing sneaky shots on the other. However, a second before the bell ended round four, Mayfield drove home a crushing right hand that dropped Serrano face-first on the canvas. Somehow he made it to his feet and since the round was over, referee Eddie Claudio gave Serrano the minute's rest to try to recover... (MORE)

SOUTHPAWS READY FOR CHESS MATCH

On Saturday night, southpaws "The New" Ray Robinson and Terrance "The Heat" Cauthen are scheduled to face off in a 10-round chess match at the Newtown Athletic Center (NAC) in the second boxing show staged by Brittany Rogers' BAM Boxing Promotions. The fight pits the younger and fresher Robinson against the older but more experienced Cauthen. The winner of the fight becomes the Pennsylvania state welterweight champion. Both fighters are slicksters, better known for slipping punches than landing them. So what will happen when they go in against each other? Will even a...

DHAFIR SCHOOLS FERRANTE

Wiley road warrior Dhafir Smith returned home in the middle of his sparring gig with world champ Lucian Bute to face tough Tony Ferrante in the 10-round main event at Harrah's Chester Friday night. Smith withstood everything his green foe had to offer, and used an effective jab and a bag-full of tricks to defuse the busy Ferrante. Smith won the unanimous decision and earned the PA State light heavyweight title, before going back out on the road for more sparring with Bute. It was just another night at the office for Smith, and a typical Dhafir performance.

Ferrante started strong in the bout, easily winning the first three rounds... (MORE)

    


 		  
                 
       

DAWSON KEEPS HIS HEAD
AND TOPS B-HOP

Chad Dawson kept his head Saturday night at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall against legend Bernard Hopkins, and in doing so managed to come out on top in their 12-round light heavyweight title fight. Dawson managed to avoid the trademark traps Hopkins normally uses to slay young challengers. Not surprisingly Dawson had more to offer physically in the fight, but in a shocking twist Chad Dawson also maintained the edge in the head game of the fight.

Hopkins was up to his usual tricks throughout the bout. The wily 47-year old used his head to open two cuts around Dawson's eyes, grabbed, wrestled, talked, and so on. Dawson simmered throughout the bout, but his emotions never boiled over, which allowed him to keep his mind on his work - to out-hustle one of boxing's greatest hustlers.

To many, Bernard's career has been on borrowed time for, at least, a few years. But who could blame him for extending his stay on or near the top of the sport...  (MORE)

    



 







 

  
                 
 

















 		    

HE'S STILL GOT IT
MACK DEFEATS SHEIKA AT RESORTS

Leading up to his anticipated fight with Omar Sheika, West Philly's Yusaf Mack made it clear that if he could not defeat the always-tough old pro from Patterson, NJ he probably shouldn't be fighting anymore. He underscored the sentiment after the fight as well. But hold the retirement party for the new USBA light heavyweight champion. Mack won a clear-cut 12-round unanimous decision over Sheika in the main event at the Resort Super Star Theater in Atlantic City Friday night. It was a complete win, capped by a dramatic final-round knockdown of Sheika that punctuated Mack's victory and proclaimed to the world - and...  (MORE)
