Farmer Wins, Palma Captures Virginia Title!

In the main event of the Left Hook Boxing card at the Winchester Sportsplex in Winchester, VA, Front Royal, VA lightweight Andrew "The Doo Man" Farmer scored a technical knockout at the beginning of the fourth round when his opponent, the debuting Marcos Antonio Soto of Virginia Beach, VA could not answer the bell for the fourth due to a hurt shoulder.

Farmer is now 7-1, six KO's.

In the co-feature, Alexandria, VA lightweight Jaime "The Punisher" Palma won the vacant Virginia State Lightweight title when his opponent, Norfolk, VA's Artie "Bam Bam" Bembury, could not come out for the fifth round, also with a bad arm injury.

The victory was Palma's fifth in a row and raises his record to 12-10-1, three KO's. Bembury's record evens at 2-2. Bembury was a late sub for Calvin "Peko" Faggins who tore his rotator cuff in training.
