Taylor, Ennis Battle to Incredible Draw in the Ballroom!

The main event at the Ballroom Boxing show at Michael's Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie tonight will be one talked about for a long time to come.

Baltimore's Maxell "The General" Taylor and undefeated Derek Ennis of Philadelphia fought to a scintilating six-round draw. As Ballroom Boxing ring announcer Pat O'Malley said, it was one of the best bouts in Ballroom history. I would go so far as to say it was one of the best club bouts I have seen in a real long time anywhere.

Both junior middleweights had their moments. Ennis dropped Taylor in the third round, only to have Taylor return the favor twice in the fourth. But neither boxer deserved to lose and honestly, I'm glad it was a draw.

I will have more to say about this bout and this card in a future post, but it has been a long night, so let me get the results out to you.

Undefeated junior middleweight Jose Rodriguez of New York City won a six-round majority decision over Manassas, VA's Orazio "The Razor" Robinson.

In a featherweight contest, James "Boo" Franks of Newport News, VA defeated Andre Nichols of Dale City, VA via third-round TKO 1:53 into the third round.

In other bouts on the card, undefeated featherweight prospect Eric Hunter took just :29 to defeat Steve Lozoya of Las Cruces, NM.

Muhsin Corbbrey of Bluffton, South Carolina scored a four-round unanimous decision over Kareem Robinson of Philadelphia.

Jameson Bostic of Brooklyn, NY scored a four-round unanimous decision over William "The Storm" Bailey of Newport News, VA.

I'll have more on this card later today.
