Henry was landing big body shots and a clubbing right hand by the end of the first round.   

Henry was coming off a close 12-round unanimous decision loss in challenging Adrian Diaconu for the W.B.C. Interim Light Heavyweight title in Romania on April 19th. He seemed particularly focused and intense for this match. 

       Henry took some solid shots from Williams, but he was essentially mauling his opponent by round four.

Henry was mashing a bloodied Williams, until Williams' corner got the referee to stop the contest at 2:15 of the 6th round.

 Henry will be looking for a world-class fight after this very impressive performance.

Hill Hammers Lyons!

Heavyweight "Mean" Eugene Hill of Dickinson, Texas took a huge step up in class and came out victorious in a solid six-round performance against Aaron Lyons of Gulfport, Mississippi.

Delgado Defeats Franks!

        In a trademark gutsy performance, Super Featherweight Crystal "Choo Choo" Delgado of Houston took a unanimous decision over Tammy Franks of San Antonio.

        The fight was four rounds of non-stop action.

        Delgado was the aggressor throughout the match as she continued to come forward and throw shots to the body and head.

        The 17-year-old "Choo Choo" took a lot of punishment from the 36-year-old Franks in this fight, and got bloodied up early. Franks caught Delgado repeatedly in the face as the younger fighter came in with her head down.

     All three judges scored the bout 39-37 for Delgado, who remains undefeated at 6-0 with 1 KO.
