Seal, McRae, Samuel Victorious in Ruther Glen!

My apologies for the late posting, but BATB Headquarters is having internet difficulties. Here are the results from the Major League Boxing card at the Virginia Sports Complex in Ruther Glen, VA.

Hometown boxer Adam "The Real Deal" Seal scored a first-round TKO over late sub Scott "The Body Snatcher" Hossaflook of Edinburg, VA. Seal dropped Hossaflook twice with right hands and Hossaflook also suffered a cut over his right eye, before referee Chris Wollesen stopped the contest at 2:59 of the round.

Seal raises his record to 7-1, six KO's while Hossaflook falls to 2-4.

Also on the card, Maryland Super Featherweight champ Tyrell "Da Show Shock'A" Samuel of Baltimore stop the always-tough Edward "Nuckie" Anderon of Richmond, VA in the fourth-round. Samuel remained in control throughout the first four rounds with short but powerful combinations. The 48-year-old Anderson had to take several hits for every punch he managed to land. Samuel continued to generate multiple hits to the head and body before referee Wollesen stopped the fight via TKO at 2:23 of the fourth round.

Samuel is now 12-2, six KO's while Anderson is now 4-15, three KO's.

Another Baltimore prospect, junior middleweight Cecil McCalla stopped Eric "Fast Hands" Burke of Columbus, OH in the first round. McCalla rained down a constant stream of thunderous left hooks that floored Burke twice in the first round. At 54 seconds of the second round, referee Rick Ellis called a halt to the bout.

McCalla remains undefeated with a record of 8-0, three KO's while Burke is now 6-22-2, five KO's.

In a heavyweight rematch, Laurel, MD's "The Big Ticket" Dwayne McRae won by third-round disqualification over "The People's Champion" Jonathan Felton of Stafford, VA. Felton, who’s had a history of unsportsmanlike conduct, spent most of the fight grabbing McRae around the waist, jabbing low, and refusing to obey the commands of referee Ellis. At one point during the fight, McRae shouted explicitly, “I told you to stop!” Even after being deducted one point, Felton continued to jab McRae after being commanded to stop. Felton was finally disqualified at 2:49 of the third round for excessive holding.

McRae is now 4-0, three KO's. Two of those victories have come against Felton, who is now 6-16, five KO's.

Also, WBO Latino Super Middleweight champion Issac Rodrigues of Brazil survived a first-round knockdown and came back to stop a tough Brad Austin in the second round. Austin dropped Rodrigues with a straight right hand, but Rodrigues was able to survive the round. But in the second round, Rodrigues turned the tables and knocked Austin down twice with two left hooks. Referee Wollesen stopped the bout at 1:43 of the round.

Rodrigues keeps his undefeated streak going at 15-0, 13 KO's while Austin is now 8-8, five KO's.
