ESPN 2 IN CITY WHERE “HOOKING” IS LEGAL!
Primm, NV– Alfredo Angulo KO 2 Gabriel Rosado. Angulo (16-1, 13 KOs) rebounded well after losing to Kermit Cintron by crushing Rosado (12-4, 7 KOs) in two rounds. After being dropped three times, the bout was waved off!
Anthony Dirrell KO 7 Alfredo Contreras. Dirrell (18-0, 15 KOs) pounded on the chin of Contreras (10-6-1, 4 KOs) who refused to go down, forcing his corner to throw in the towel in round seven. Time was 2:32.
Travis Kauffman KO1 William Shahan. Kauffman (18-0, 15 KOs) knocked out last minute substitute Shahan (8-2, 7 KOs). Shahan who was overweight was saved by his corner at 1:20 of #1. Shahan, out of Glenville, West Virginia, fell to 8-2 with 7 kayos.
2000 OLYMPIC HOPE SIMMS NOW A STIFF
Sacramento, CA– Michael Simms DRAW 6 Kelvin Davis. Simms (20-11-2, 13 KOs) and Davis (24-10-3, 17 KOs) fought to a controversial draw. The controversy was that the fight was scheduled for eight rounds, but after the sixth the Simms corner cut off the gloves and scores of 58-56 Simms, 58-56 Davis, and 57-57 were read. Seems like the already troubled California Commission had only approved a six round bout, and the Davis camp claimed they had never been informed of this.

Cordoba, Argentina– Jorge Barrios W12 Moises Castro. Barrios (48-4-1, 34 KOs) made it look easy against the less than mediocre Castro (27-12-4, 13 KOs). Wide scores were 119-108, 119-112 and 120-110.
Atlantic City, NJ– Mike Jones W10 Lenin Arroyo. Jones (18-0, 15 KOs) tested the chin of Arroyo (20-10-1, 4 KOs) and it passed absorbing Jones’ best shots. It went the full ten and the scores read 99-91, 99-91, 98-92.
Jerson Ravelo W8 Willis Lockett. Ravelo (20-4, 12 KOs) looked uninspired as he easily out pointed Lockett (12-9, 5 KOs) by scores of 80-72, 79-73, 77-75.
