More Results from Norfolk: Samuel, Boyd Battle To Draw; Wilson Stopped!

Here are more results from the ICB Knockout Series card at the Scope in Norfolk, VA courtesy of Chris Perry of Fightnews.com:

A month removed from his action-packed main event on last month’s ICB Knockout Series card, Baltimore fighter Tyrell Samuel (14-4-1, six KOs) challenged Washington, DC’s Ron Boyd (6-10-1, 2 KOs). The two had previously met in the ring twice with Samuel scoring a split decision victory and a unanimous decision victory respectively in 2008. This time, neither fighter allowed the other to establish a good rhythm in a bout full of clinching and holding. Samuel was knocked down by a left hook to the top of his head in round four.

Once an eight-count was administered by referee Steve Smoger and Samuel reached his feat, a point was taken away from Boyd, however, for hitting Samuel on the top of the head when he was down. The six round contest was ultimately declared a majority draw with one judge giving it to Boyd 57-54, another giving it to Samuel 57-56 and the final judge scoring it even 56-56.


In the opening bout of the evening, Norfolk heavyweight Dorsett Barnwell scored a knockout victory in his professional debut against Washington, DC’s Kareem Wilson (0-5). A former under 19 national amateur champion, Barnwell knocked Wilson down with two left hooks right on target in round three. Unable to get to his feet, referee Steve Smoger called a halt to he bout 1:30 into the round.
