Cygan Wins by Technical Decision in Ocean City!

Here are some results from the Baltimore Pro Boxing card at the Convention Center in Ocean City, MD. I was unable to attend. Ring announcer Brad "The Auctioneer" Dudley provided some of the details and I thank him.

Super middleweight Tony "Cyclone" Cygan of Middle River, MD won his bout with David "The Weezel" Estrada by fifth round technical decision. Cygan suffered a cut over his right eye. Referee Bill Holmes stopped the bout after the ringside physician said Cygan couldn't see. The bout went to the scorecards and all three judges had Cygan winning 49-46. Cygan is now 11-1, six KO's. Estrada falls to 9-8, seven KO's.

In the co-feature, Baltimore cruiserweight Willie "For Real" Williams won a six-round majority decision over Richard Stewart. Judge John Gradowski saw the bout a draw at 57-57 but judges Bill Holmes and Don Risher scored the bout for Williams at 58-56. Williams is now 3-1, one KO while Stewart is 8-2-1, six KO's.

Light heavyweight Mike "The Persecutor" Paschall of Baltimore remained undefeated with a six-round majority decision over Ron Boddie.
