Unbeaten Baltimore, MD cruiserweight Cory "Black Ice" Cummings returned to action after an 11-month layoff and scored a third-round TKO over Antonio Vines at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, PA. The following is the account of the bout as written by Fightnews.com correspondent Brady Crytzer:
"Cummings, who appeared the stronger of the two fighters, attempted to bully Vines early on landing hard hooks on the inside and controlling the pace of the fight. Though Antonio Vines found some success with the jab his opponent’s work rate proved to be too much as Cummings controlled the round with ease. The second round brought the crowd to its feet as Cummings scored with a looping left hook that stunned his opponent.
With his mouth bleeding badly, Vines continued to look for an opening to score until a left hook from “Black Ice” sent him to the canvas. On visibly unsteady legs, Antonio Vines beat the count just as the bell sounded to end the round. The third round proved to be all Cummings as a thunderous body attack allowed for a well placed leaping right hand to finish the job putting Vines on the canvas for a final time. Though Vines beat the count, referee Al Amelio felt that the wounded fighter had sustained too much damage to continue and waved off the contest at 2:59 of round three."
The win raises Cummings's record to 15-0, 12 KO's. Cummings has knocked out his last eight opponents. According to Boxrec.com, Cummings is slated to be a part of the September 14 boxing card at Martin's West.

'Dats whats up! Way to handle business as usual. Thanks yo,...for all you've done for me. One Love.
Corey Cummings is an exceptional fighter who once given a chance to shine on the big stage will come through. He can rumble, but also is a gentleman who posesses the character and charisma to be a star in boxing. Good work Black.

I agree with that, Philly D. I've always thought Cory was vastly underrated in this area because he hadn't been seen a lot in the area. But I've always been impressed with him.
