Results From Pikesville!

Here are the results from the Baltimore Pro Boxing "Bombs Away on Pearl Harbor Day" card at the Pikesville National Guard Armory:

Baltimore's Tim "Pitbull" Coleman and "Magnificent" Martinus Clay of Wilson, NC fought to a 10-round draw in the battle for the East Coast Championship. The scores were 96-95 for Coleman, 96-94 for Clay and 95-95. A spokesperson for Coleman told me after we recorded the post-fight wrap-up that Coleman broke his right hand in the fifth round. Coleman remains undefeated at 14-0-1, three KO's. Clay is now 12-18-3, four KO's.


Jessie "The Beast" Nicklow of Severn, MD remained undefeated by winning a six-round unanimous decision over Akron, OH's Anthony "Quick" Little in a rematch of their August 25 bout in Ocean City, MD. Judges scores were 59-55, 58-55 and 59-54. Nicklow is now 14-0-1, five KO's. Little is 7-10, one KO.

Montgomery, AL's John "No Mercy" Mackey won a six-round unanimous decision over Baltimore's Tony "Cyclone" Cygan in a true fight fan's feast of a bout. The scores of 59-55 (twice) and 58-56 do not indicate how tough and spirited this bout actually was. Mackey, who is originally from DC, continues to be undefeated at 8-0, three KO's. Cygan falls to 12-2, seven KO's.

Baltimore light heavyweight Willie "For Real" Williams gained a measure of revenge by winning a six-round majority decision over Takoma Park, MD's Willis "The Prophet" Lockett This was a rematch of a September 27 bout at Michael's Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie in which Lockett won by six-round majority decision. Two judges scored the bout 58-56 for Williams while the third judge saw the draw at 57-57. Williams has now won three straight and raises his record to 9-2, two KO's. Lockett saw his four-bout winning streak snapped and his record falls to 10-5-4, four KO's.

For the fourth time in his young career, Reisterstown, MD super middleweight"The Golden Greek" Elias Bouloubassis fought to a four-round draw. This time it was a majority draw against Pete Guthy of Myrtle Beach, SC. If not for an incident in which Guthy did not get credit for a knockdown against Bouloubassis in the second round, Bouloubassis would have lost the bout on the scorecards. One judge had it for Bouloubassis, 39-37, but two judges scored the contest a draw at 38-38. Bouloubassis's record is now 3-0-4, three KO's while Guthy is all even at 2-2-2.

The opening bout saw Baltimore's Henry "Hurricane" Mayes and John "The Baptist" Terry of Portsmouth, VA fight to a four-round draw. One judge saw the bout 39-37 for Terry, while another saw the contest 39-38 for Mayes and one judge called it even at 38-38. Mayes is now 6-4-1, four KO's while Terry is 2-7-2, one KO.

Ironically, the only bout that didn't go the scheduled distance was a contest that was turned into an exhibition bout at the last minute. Stevensville, MD junior welterweight Tony "Mo Better" Jeter fought a spirited bout against Reisterstown, MD's "Diamond" Matt Hill. Jeter looked sharp after a two-year absence and was more than willing to exchange with the veteran Hill, who definitely responded in kind. The scheduled three-round exhibition was so spirited that promoter Jake Smith stopped the contest after only two rounds. No official word was given as to why the bout was an exhibition.
