I was unable to attend the BXF show last night in Millersville, MD. However, One of my Fightnews colleagues and a man who is truly one of the best boxing photographers in the business, Mike Greenhill, was there and he filed the following report:
Middleweight Tony Jeter came back off a 4-year layoff in grand style, destroying Philadelphia's Lawrence Frisby in two rounds to win by TKO at BXF Gym (Boxing Extreme Fitness)in the Baltimore suburb of Millersville. Jeter, of Stevensville, enjoyed some home cooking, as he trains at BXF during the week. Jeter moved in behind his jab in Round One, and caught Frisby with a counter right to the head that turned his legs to pasta. Jeter then followed with a right to put Jeter down on the canvas. He rose on unsteady legs, and was promptly put down again, just before the bell.
Jeter wasted no time in the second round, flooring Frisby with a looping right to the top of the head. Moments later, the hometown kid dropped Frisby into the neutral corner with a counter left hook, and referee Gary Camponeschi waved off matters at 0:50 of the second. Jeter is now 4-1 (4) while Frisby falls to 3-9 (2).
In the night's other pro bout, light heavyweight Jarell Mason-Jackson of Temple Hills, MD gained a tough unanimous 6-round decision over Steve Garrett of Annapolis, MD. It was a back-and-forth battle until Mason-Jackson sealed the deal with a knockdown in the 6th and final round. Bill Holmes scored 58-55, Gary Camponeschi tallied 58-54 and John Gradowski recorded 59-54, all for Mason-Jackson. Garrett also had a point deducted in the final round for holding. Mason-Jackson improves to 3-3 (0), while Garrett falls to 2-4 (1).
There were only two pro bouts since the James McCallister-Dafir Smith main event fell through. However, the pro show was preceded by five amateur bouts, thus satisfying the Maryland State Athletic Commission's minimum 25-round requirement for the show to take place.
On hand to view the festivities were former cruiserweight champ Boone Pultz, welterweight contender Derrell Coley and USBA lightweight champ Lamont "Bay" Pearson.
Tony you looked fairly decent last night. I like to see you step up a notch the next time you fight. Frisby has lost his last 6 fights by knock out and I think my sister who who fights at 154 hurt him with a body shot 2 weeks ago at Smokin Joes gym in philly. I will see you in November at your next fight. Petey Green
ReplyDeleteHopefully, Tony will see this, but let me just say that this was Tony's first bout in four years. So you can expect some rust.
ReplyDeleteIt will take some time.
I taped the entire show friday night at the BFX. I can be reached at Old School Boxing between 5 and 9. I personally thought Tony looked just fine. We must remember he has not fought in 4 years or more. The show itself was week and most people wanted their money back. Tony did his part, his fans were happy. I must admit though, if one wants to see good exciting boxing. Just stop up at Old School in Clinton Maryland. There is not a nite that goes by without ass kicking sparring. I have actually seen people stand up and start clapping. A boxer from Old School who has his first amature bout is often accused of having several matches. They get those boxers completely ready before putting them in the ring for an actual match. It is not unfair to do that, it is just the smart thing to do. I am holding a show on Oct. 29th and the 30th. At Sugar Rays Boxing center in Palmer Park MD.
ReplyDeleteContact me at the gym for more information. Juice

ReplyDeleteOctober 14th Waldorf Maryland
ReplyDeleteBobby Magruder show:
Reggie Holly VS TBA
Nick Colero VS Martin Lopez
James McCallister VS Reggie Strickland
Joey Vanadiker VS Ronnie Mayes
I also here that some 11 year old kid from Old School Boxing with 115 fights is boxing some kid from Philly. Special Attraction. I seen the poster yesterday in a Waldorf Liquor store. I think I might go just to see the Ring Girls.
I spoke to Bobby Magruder, the promoter for this card yesterday. The card that was listed on that poster is NOT the card that will take place on Friday.
ReplyDeleteI am about to post the card as was given to me by Magruder.
