on July 11th of 2009!!!
Charlo
Nails
Nash!!
Welterweight Jermall "Hitman" Charlo of Houston faced the
elusive Deon Nash of Lutcher, Louisiana.
Charlo
established the jab and landed some powerful hooks
from the outset. He wobbled Nash with a right hand
near the end of round one. See video of round
two below!
..
Charlo brought a record of 4-0 with 2 KO's while
Nash came in at 5-9 with 1 KO and had lost his last
eight fights.
Charlo essentially chased Nash through rounds three
and four, landing the occasional combination, while
Nash's connecting shots were even more rare. Nash
opened up with a quick flurry of combinations in
round five but faded, and apparently saved much of
his energy for the sixth round.
..
Two
judges scored the bout 60-54, while a third had it
59-55, all for Charlo, giving him the unanimous
decision!
Jermall Charlo remains undefeated!

Mashes
Mayfield!
Super Bantamweight

longer for Mendez's superior speed, power and
tenacity to
become evident.
..
Mendez brought a
record of 5-0-1 with 1 KO while Mayfield came in at
2-3 with 1 KO. Mendez was coming off a four-round
unanimous decision over the 11-2 Kasha Chamblin in
Kinder, Louisiana on June 6th. Mayfield was coming
off a 2nd round TKO loss to Jennifer Scott in
Houston on April 24th. Mendez's stoppage of Mayfield
came at 1:54 of the third round, after a barrage of
unanswered punches.

Feliciano of Edinburg, Texas faced Erik Morin of
Mexico City.

record of 1-0 while Morin (wearing the white
trunks) came in at 1-2 with
1 KO.

the outset.

Brashears Beats
"Topita"!
Jose "Topita" Gutierrez of
Houston faced Marcus Brashears of Amarillo, Texas!
The match began at a brisk pace with Gutierrez being
the busier of the two fighters through the second
round.
See video of round one below!
..
Gutierrez came in at 14-5 with 10 KO's and had won
his last three fights, including most recently a 4th
round TKO over Anthony Middlebrooks in Humble on
June 4th.
Brashears brought a record of 6-12-1 with
2 KO's.
He was coming off a five-round unanimous
decision loss to Mike Dallas Jr. in Lemoore
California on April 23rd.
Topita's straight
ahead style seemed to be tailor-made for the taller
and quicker Brashears, who also possessed sufficient
power to slow the attacks from Gutierrez!! By the
third round Brashers was catching Gutierrez with
countershot hooks and combinations to the head.
..
.
After both fighters
seemed to take a bit of a breather in round five,
they gave it one final charge in round six.

scored the bout 59-55 for Brashears, while the third
had it 58-56, giving him the unanimous decision!

Orleans breezed through Nikita McCargo of Pine Bluff,
Arkansas in 39 seconds!

late replacement for another fighter who
backed out and it was a clear mismatch.
..

Middleweight Vashon Living of Houston
faced April "Hollywood" Richards of
Nashville.
The fighters traded punches in
round one, with Richards landing shots early
and Living coming back toward the end of the
