Williams Loses Unanimous Decision; Snow Gets Split Decision in Glen Burnie!

Baltimore, MD light heavyweight Willie "For Real" Williams lost a six-round unanimous decision to Reggie Pena of Ocala, FL in front of 1,132 at Michael's Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie, MD.

Williams was dropped in the fifth round as he had difficulty with Pena's onslaught throughout the contest. Williams suffered a cut along the left eye and on his lip. Williams is now winless in his last four bouts and is now 12-5-2, three KO's. Pena's record rises to 5-2, one KO.

The co-feature saw Capitol Heights, MD super featherweight Thomas "KO" Snow win a rather unpopular six-round split decision over Jason Rorie of Ocala, FL.

Many in the crowd did not like Snow's defensive movements in the contest and it seemed to frustrate Rorie. But the key round was the fifth when Snow landed some solid shots to the head and body of Rorie. This allowed Snow to hang on for the victory. Judges Dave Braslow and Gary Camponeschi scored the bout for Snow 58-56 while Judge Don Risher saw the contest 58-56 for Rorie.

Snow is now 12-1, eight KO's while Rorie falls under .500 at 5-6-2, two KO's.
