Larry Recio of Springdale, MD was very precise landing crushing bodyshots that eventually stopped Brian "Bad Boy" Meadows of Clearwater, FL in the third round of a junior middleweight bout.

Recio was also very patient as he took his time landing his shots.  By the time the stoppage took place, Meadows had no defense.  Recio landed a crushing right hand to the body that made Meadows lunge forward and lose his mouthpiece.  Meadows's corner, led by former three-time world champion Nate Campbell and former Virginia State Lightweight titleholder Jaime "The Punisher" Palma had seen enough.  The bout was stopped at 1:29 of the third round.
