Quarles Stops Shah in One to Win Virginia State Middleweight Title!

The bout looked good on paper but that's why the bout isn't held there.  "The Pride of Alexandria" Brandon Quarles has won the Virginia State Middleweight title with a first-round TKO over Zain "Tiger" Shah.

Shah tried to use his height and long reach to keep the shorter Quarles at bay.  However, Quarles was able to figure a way inside and landed some solid overhand right hands that sent Shah to the corner.  To his credit, Shah never went down and didn't seem hurt.  However, Shah did not return back anything during the flurry and referee Joe Cooper stopped the contest at 2:41 of the round.

With the win, Quarles is now 11-2-1, four KO's.  Shah is now 5-3, three KO's.

As we said, no post-fight wrap-up tonight.  So here is a brief look at the upcoming Beltway Boxing schedule:

Monday, November 11 -- Cowboys Dance Hall in San Antonio, TX. Fernando Guerrero is the co-feature on a card televised by Fox Sports 1 and Fox Espanol.

Thursday, November 14 -- Fight Night at the Washington Hilton and Towers.  Tyrieshia Douglas is scheduled on that card.  We will not be attending the card due to logistical issues.

Friday, November 15 -- The Carroll County AG Center in Westminster, MD.  The return of Mark "TNT" Tucker headlines this card.  This will be our next stop.

Saturday, November 16 -- Estadio Ramón Tahuichi Aguilera, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia.  "The Bolivan Queen" Jennifer Salinas battles for the vacant WBF (World Boxing Federation) Super Bantamweight championship against Yolis Marrugo Franco.  We'll preview this bout later this week.

  3. Man Brandon quarles sucks. I've watched this kid fight a few times. He doesn't impress me at all. He fought a kid today that can't fight and they didn't give him a chance to fight. I've seen this kid fight . I rather watch street brawls then this kid. E

  4. Man what silly belt was that they gave Brandon Quarles. I've seen kids at local shows get better belts. I guess a ugly belt for a no name fighter. Suites him. This kid better learn how to fight. I don't think he can fight. Dumbest Most Vulnerable fighter. Is that the belt he got.

  9. First of all had Zain gotten that belt last night i wouldnt have meant anything. . . . . highly doubt any of yall actual boxers let alone been in the pro game its a cut throat sport. Brandon Quarles doesnt get the props he deserves and after a clear TKO victory over the towering Zain all yall can do is find reasons as to why it was BS. . . . . yall sound like some haters too me. . . . . . kinda like the assholes who think Pacquiao really a better boxer than Mayweather . . . . . like really? C'MON SON!!!!!

  13. stoppage was fair and clear no need to put either fighter into harms way like Magomed Abdusalamov was put in last week. The overhand had Shah confused

    ReplyDelete

  16. Gary...you think it was early?

  17. I didn't have a major issue with the stoppage. Yes, Shah looked clear eyed. However, when he went to the ropes, he wasn't throwing anything back. That gave Cooper no real alternative but to stop the bout.

  18. Styles make fights and Brandon aggressive style gave shah a hard time

  19. Me being a local fan of boxing I have seen Quarles in a few though fights. He definitely gets my respect

  26. Gary you forgot to include somebody in your list.

    ReplyDelete
  27. A lot of them deserve to be on that list -- Keith Holmes, Vincent Pettway, Andrew Council. I can't really limit to five.

  28. That kid that fought Yuri actually put up a good fight. He was outclassed but he fought hard. Anybody know why he was escorted out by police?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Is there a site with a video for this fight?
