Felton Falls in Philly; Shah-Cook Added to October 18 Card in Springfield!

Stafford, VA heavyweight "The People's Champion" Jonathan Felton lost a four-round unanimous decision to Philadelphia's Anthony Gatt last night at the National Guard Armory in Philadelphia. The judge's scorecards were 38-37 (twice) and 39-37.

The loss is Felton's fourth in his last five bouts (the other was the no-contest against Askia Snyder in Glen Burnie in January) and drops his record to 5-12, five KO's. Gatt's record is 7-1-1, four KO's.

Another bout has been added to the Sugar Han Promotions/After Shock Events card on Saturday, October 18 at the ABC Sports Arena in Springfield, VA.
Centerville, VA middleweight Zain Shah will take on debuting Roy Cook of Gaithersburg in a four-round bout. Shah (1-0, one KO) has not fought since making his pro debut on February 4, 2006 at ABC. Shah scored a second-round TKO over Leo Edwards in that bout.

Thanks for the kind words Jonathan. Keep training hard, keep working hard, and keep throwing those hard punches. You didn't have any amateur experience but what you have learned so far in the pro game has been extremely valuable. You're a dangerous fight for anyone you're put in against. A truly hungry fighter can't be denied. Good luck to you!
