Orji Falls In Fight Night Main Event; King Wins Co-Feature!

Ikem "The Warrior" Orji of Laurel, MD was stopped by undefeated Yaundale "Money Shot" Evans of Cleveland, OH in the eighth round during the Fight Night main event at the Washington Hilton and Towers in DC.

Evans proved to be too accurate and eventually too powerful for the game Orji. Evans dropped Orji with a left hand in the fourth round. The knockdown proved to be somewhat of a flash one because, not only did Orji get right back up, he actually did a kip-up back to his feet.

Eventually, however, Evans wore down Orji in the latter stages of the contest forcing referee Kenny Chevalier to halt the bout with about a minute to go in the contest.

Orji's record falls to 7-4, three KO's while Evans is now 10-0, seven KO's.

In the other pro bout on the card, Salisbury, MD's Dontre "Pound for Pound" King won a four-round unanimous decision over the debuting Benjamin Olinga of DC by way of Cameroon.

King dropped Olinga with a right hand in the first round and went on to win by a wide margin on one of the scorecards. Judge Steve Rados saw a shutout at 40-35 while judges David Jordan and Paul Williams scored the bout 39-36. King is now 3-8, two KO's.

Another bout that was scheduled to feature Joshua Snyder was cancelled because of time constraints. There was also an amateur contest where Antoine Douglas of Alexandria, VA stopped Sgt. Robert Evans of Norfolk, VA in the third round.
