'For Real' Williams Wins East Coast Title in Brutal Bout!

In front of a packed house at Martin's West in Woodlawn, MD, Baltimore light heavyweight Willie "For Real" Williams won a tough and brutal eight-round unanimous decision over a game Jameel "Black Gold" Wilson of Philadelphia.

Williams busted Wilson up throughout the contest, bloodying Wilson's nose and landing some brutal body shots. In the third round, Williams landed a body shot that seemed to momentarily paralyze the right side of Wilson's body. However, Wilson was extremely game and, at times, caught Williams with head shots of his own. Surprisingly, neither man was knocked down in the contest.

Blood flowed rather freely in this bout as ringside observers saw speckles of blood hit the tables in front of them and the wrist wraps on both men turned blood red. Judges John Gradowski and Malik Waleed scored the bout 78-74 while Judge Don Risher saw the contest, 79-73.

Williams is now 12-2-1, three KO's and is unbeaten in his last seven contests. Wilson's record falls to 13-16-3, eight KO's and is winless in his last 13 bouts.

In the co-feature, Baltimore welterweight James "Keep 'em Sleepin' Stevenson scored a punishing second-round knockout over Myrtle Beach, SC's Amos "The Raging Bull" Collins.

Midway throught the first, Stevenson dropped Collins with a solid right hand. Stevenson finished the job in the second, sending him to the canvas for the second time with a left-right combination, then following up with a crisp left hand that kept Collins on the canvas to stay. The bout was stopped at 2:20 of the second round.

Stevenson remains perfect at 4-0, four KO's while Collins is 2-1, two KO's with the loss.

Catonsville, MD light heavyweight "Irish" Glenn Williams made a successful return after a year's absence by eeking out a four-round split decision over Mickey Stackhouse of Florence, SC.

This was a close battle throughout the contest with each man having the other in trouble only to find their opponent getting some unknown reserve. Judges Risher and Gary Camponeschi saw the contest for Williams, 39-37 while Judge Waleed scored it 39-37 for Stackhouse.

Williams is now over .500 with a record of 5-4-1, four KO's while Stackhouse drops to 6-16-1, five KO's, Williams had noted trainer Kevin Rooney in his corner.

Wilson, NC heavyweight Maurice Winslow scored the upset of the night, stopping rookie heavyweight Joe Gardner of Waldorf, MD in the first round.

Winslow proved that his knockout victory over Boone Pultz on November 7 in Upper Marlboro, MD was no fluke as he caught Gardner with two devastating rights that totally stunned Gardner. Referee John Gradowski stopped the bout at 1:36 of the round.

Winslow's record is now 3-7-1, three KO's while Gardner is 1-1, one KO.

Baltimore middleweight Cecil McCalla hammered out a four-round unanimous decision over DC's Calvin "Shotgun" Aughtry.

In what has become a trend in his fights, Aughtry left his guns in their holsters too long, allowing McCalla, in this case, to get punches off freely to Aughtry's head and body. The few shots Aughtry did get off were effective but few and far between. In the third round, Aughtry put on a rally, even knocking out McCalla's mouthpiece. But McCalla's effective body and head shots proved to be too much of a difference.

All three judges called the bout a shutout for McCalla, but judge Malik Waleed scored two 10-8 rounds, despite the fact that there were no knockdowns in the contest. Waleed's score was 40-34. Judge John Gradowski scored one round 10-8 and saw the contest 40-35. Judge Gary Camponeschi saw the bout 40-36.

McCalla is now 3-0, one KO while Aughtry is 0-4.

In the opening contest, Ellicott City, MD cruiserweight Robert "The Mac Attack" McConnell, Jr, scored a four-round unanimous decision over Salisbury, MD's Eddie "Diablo" Otts.

In the first round, McConnell dropped Otts with a looping left hand. Otts managed to get up and eventually bully McConnell against the ropes. McConnell seemed to hurt his back and did not land shots as effectively, but did more than enough to win the contest.

McConnell evens his record at 2-2 while Otts is 0-4-1.

The amateur portion of the card saw the debut of eight-year-old Mia "Killer Bee" Ellis of Baltimore. Ellis stopped the debuting Angelica DeLeon of Idaho in the third round. Ellis threw crisp jabs that eventually bloddied DeLeon's nose forcing the ringside physician to stop the bout.
