Star Boxing Results From
Bally's in Atlanta City
November 8, 2008
ATLANTIC CITY - NEW JERSEY (NOV 8) On
Friday Night before a sold out crowd, Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing
presented yet another exciting night of boxing at the beautiful Bally's
Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, NJ. The seven bout card which
featured some of boxing's hottest up and coming prospects was headlined
by the WBA #5 rated heavyweight in the world Kevin "Kingpin" Johnson
taking on Matt Greer in a ten round heavyweight contest.
KINGPIN DESTROYS GREER
Johnson came out looking
very determined as he immediately began firing blistering shots at
Greer. Greer who has never been stopped as a professional showed his
toughness as he refused to go down throughout the fight.
Johnson's accuracy was on display as he seemingly landed every single
punch he threw. With Greer's face covered in blood, and the amount of
punishment he was taking, his corner had no choice but to throw in the
towel mid way through the third round.
It was a very impressive victory for Johnson who showed once again he
has tremendous power along with lightening quick hands and surely is the
#1 heavyweight prospect in the world. With the victory Johnson improves
to (21-0-1, 8KO) while his opponent Greer drops to (12-4, 11KO).
CAUTHEN, ALVAREZ BATTLE
TO THE FINISH
In the co-feature bout of the evening,
Star Boxing welterweights Terrance Cauthen (33-5, 9KO) and Shamone
Alvarez (20-1, 11KO) participated in the fight of the night, with
Alvarez, who is co-promoted by Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing and Warriors
Boxing winning a close majority decision.
Alvarez pressed the fight as Cauthen landed good lead right hooks and
straight left hands from the outside. When Alvarez would get in close
enough he would throw vicious combinations to the body trying to slow
down Cauthen's movement. This is when the best action of the fight
happened as Cauthen would willingly engage with Alvarez, each fighter
landing heavy blows.
Right before the third round ended Alvarez landed a straight left handed
followed by a right hook that briefly staggered Cauthen. Cauthen fell to
a knee but immediately jumped right back up as he seemed to be more off
balance then actually hurt.
RAYMOND SERRANO WINS
AGAIN
the undercard, Star Boxing's 19-year-old
welterweight phenom, Raymond Serrano improved his record to (8-0, 5KO)
with a win over game Shakha Moore (10-13-2, 2KO). It was an exciting
fight from the get go, as Serrano went right at Moore looking to take
his more experienced opponent out in the very first round.
Moore showed guts throughout the fight, never giving into the relentless
attack of Serrano. After six hard fought, exciting rounds, Serrano was
awarded a well deserved unanimous decision. It was the first time
Serrano had gone six rounds and he seemed to do it with ease. Expect to
see the exciting Serrano back in action very soon.
CURTIS STEVENS
ANNIHILATES SMITH
In a battle of super middleweights, Star
Boxing's Curtis "Showtime" Stevens completely annihilated Ray Smith,
knocking Smith out at 48 seconds of the very first round. A right hand
sent Smith to the ropes and a thunderous left hook to the temple sent
Smith crashing to the canvas. Smith attempted to get up but was in no
condition to continue as he stumbled all the way across the ropes before
the referee grabbed him, preventing him from collapsing again. Stevens
improves his record to 19-2, 14KO while Smith drops to 8-3, 2KO.
Other results: Bruce Seldon TKO 2 Brad Gregory; Lavarn Harvell
won a four-round unanimous decision over Joe Njau; and Alexis Mejias
KO'd Bernard Brown in the second round. Source:
