Recapping A Wild Night at DuBurns!

It was an emotional, exciting, and crazy night at DuBurns Arena last night in Baltimore. Here are the quick results:

Undefeated Baltimore heavyweight "The American Dream" Mike Dietrich made an emotional return to boxing by winning a four-round unanimous decision over "The People's Champion" Jonathan Felton of Stafford, VA.

Although Dietrich maintained control of the bout throughout, this was not an easy one as Felton was game and actually had a chance to take the bout from Dietrich in the fourth round by landing solid shots. However, Felton lost his chance by tossing Dietrich to the canvas, repeating an earlier infraction against him when Felton lifted Dietrich off the canvas in the first round. Felton lost a point in the fourth round for the second toss. All three judges scored the bout 40-35.

Dietrich is now 8-0, three KO's while Felton is 3-8, three KO's.

In the co-feature, undefeated Severn, MD junior middleweight Jessie "The Beast" Nicklow, scored perhaps his best victory as a pro by dominating previously undefeated Matt "The Bull" Berkshire and registering a third-round TKO in the rematch of their March bout. Nicklow landed some brutal left hands to decimate Berkshire. The bout was stopped at 1:20 of the third.

The euphoria over the victory turned to anger when members of Nicklow's family were acosted by fans of Berkshire who came from Morgantown, WVA to cheer their fighter on.

Nicklow is now 10-0-1, four KO's and may have solidified his position as THE prospect to watch in the Baltimore section of the Beltway. Berkshire's record falls to 8-1-1, three KO's.

In another rematch, Bel Air, MD middleweight Nick "Flash" Collins evened the score with Baltimore's Henry "Hurricane" Mayes by virtue of a third-round TKO. Collins used a series of right hands to stop Mayes. This is the second straight time Mayes has been knocked out. Collins is now 3-2, three KO's. Mayes is 5-3, four KO's and two no-contests.

In other bouts on the card, "The Golden Greek" Elias Bouloubassis of Owings Mills, MD had to settle for a draw for the third time in his four fights. This was the second technical draw of his career as the bout with debuting Rakeem Carter of Delmar, NY was stopped when Bouloubassis suffered a cut on the top of his head that drew a stream of blood that Chief Physician Dr. John Stiller could not stop.

Bouloubassis's record is now 1-0-3, one KO.

Baltimore welterweight Earl "Mighty Mouse" Cole suffered his first defeat, dropping a four-round unanimous decision to John "The Berlin Bomber" Snyder of Salisbury, MD. Cole is now 2-1, two KO's while Snyder is 3-2, one KO.

In the opening contest, Philadelphia, PA junior welterweight Kevin "Kid" Carmody scored the first knockout of his career with a first-round TKO over Jose Luis Torres of Albany, NY. The knockout came at 1:24 of the first.
