(JULY 17) Last night Joe DeGuardia's Star
Boxing brought boxing back to Westchester County with a six-fight card
at the beautiful Hilton Rye Town Hotel in Rye Brook, NY. In the main
event bout of the evening former light heavyweight title challenger, the
Pride of Port Chester, David Telesco (30-6-1, 25KO) made his long
awaited return to the ring a spectacular one with a 2nd round KO over
the extremely durable William Gill.
Telesco, who was fighting for the first time in almost five years, came
out tentatively in the first round using his jab to measure his
opponent.
In the second a huge combination from Telesco dropped Gill hard. Sensing
his opponent was hurt, Telesco jumped all over Gill, battering him from
ring post to ring post, before he finally was able to trap Gill in the
corner. Telesco began unloading monstrous shots and another huge
combination had Gill completely out on his feet. Luckily for Gill the
referee jumped in, saving him from any further punishment. The official
time of stoppage was 2:13 of the second round. Look to see Telesco back
in action soon as he hopes to reestablish himself in the light
heavyweight division.
In the co-feature bout of the evening
"The New" Ray Robinson improved to a perfect (11-0, 4KO) with a dominate
six-round decision over Harrison Cuello (18- 11-3, 14KO).
Robinson simply had way too much fire power for the veteran Cuello as he
continuously peppered him with shots from the outside. Cuello was game,
but Robinson was just too quick and too powerful, as he dished out more
and more punishment as the fight progressed.
A picture perfect left hand opened a nasty cut over Cuello's eye just as
the final bell sounded, wrapping up a near perfect performance for the
Star Boxing promoted Robinson.
Star Boxing's hot light heavyweight
prospect Yathomas "The Punisher" Riley improved to 6-0, 4KO with a
second round destruction over Philadelphia's Andre Hemphill.
Riley punished Hemphill for most of the first, using a vicious attack to
both the body and head.
In the second Riley unloaded a huge left uppercut that sent Hemphill
down face first. Hemphill attempted to get to his feet but was in
absolutely no condition to continue. Official time of the stoppage was
53 seconds of the second round.
