Mark Tucker was outworked and outhustled en route to losing a 10-round majority decision to Paul Vasquez in our main event tonight in Westminster.
Vasquez came forward repeatedly and pressured Tucker, putting him against the ropes. Tucker suffered a cut along his right eye which made things even more difficult.
One judge saw a draw at 95-95 but that score was trumped by 97-93 and 96-94 scores.
Tucker loses for the second time in his career and he is now 16-2, seven KO's. Vasquez breaks a two-bout losing streak and is now 10-4-1, three KO's. Vasquez donated his entire purse (reportedly $5,000) to the Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore, MD.
Here is the Post-Fight Wrap-Up:
They really need too look at the judge who had it a draw..
ReplyDeleteThank you Jesus!!! Finally that sorry piece of crap Tucker lost at home.... never seen a so called boxer that sucked like tucker sucks. if he can fight then purple monkeys ride unicorns..his father must not have had the money to pay people off this fight
ReplyDeleteLast time I checked he did hold the USBO Light Heavyweight title. What can all you haters say you have done NOT SHIT SO STUDaand quit hatin'
ReplyDeleteTucker has lost in my eyes a few times in his home dome. Big Mark means well but his son isnt special. He still is young though. More power too the Tuckers and the future. I quess ill keep kicking rocks with my hands in my pockets tell somebody knocks him the fuck out
ReplyDeleteWay too go Mark. I want my money back.
ReplyDeleteMark, you need too handle your business at home.
ReplyDeleteI had to leave before that main event started. Was a ridiculous intermission between zakki scotts fight and the main event, especially bc that place is in the middle of nowhere. Can't start the main event at damn near 11:30 when you are an hour away from civilization.
ReplyDeleteI left after the 6th round could not stand the effort given by Mark
ReplyDeleteNow wait a minute -- stop! Enough is enough. Lay off of Mark and his dad! They are trying to do something for their community and to bring pro boxing to an area which would never have such a thing so close to home. Never!! Why? Because Mark Tucker, Jr. and Mark Tucker, Sr. are taking a chance chasing a dream. Cheer them on if you want, laugh at them if you want. But at least they are taking the chance. You don't want to drive that far to Carroll County? Then don't go! It seems like all you bloggers want to do is to complain and put somebody down. Why is that? Bad childhood? Lousy job? Poor athletic skills? Look, Mark Tucker, Jr. is what he is: A nice kid trying to compete on the club level in a sport that he and dad dearly love. Leave them alone! Stay home if you want, but just stop complaining!
ReplyDeleteWELL SAID!!
ReplyDeleteCould not have said it better myself.
ReplyDeleteUm, Mark Tucker, Jr. fought a guy who had some fairly decent boxing skills. The guy certainly had an awkward style and a winning record to boot. And all you bloggers want to do is put Tucker, Jr. down for fighting him? You guys truly are angry and miserable, I have to tell ya. I think that a lot of you really do not want to see the local pro boxing scene do well. It's a shame that we have to read your crap. Why don't you take up another sport to follow, say, badmitton, and just do us all a favor by leaving this website once and for all?
ReplyDelete"It seems like all you bloggers want to do is to complain and put somebody down. Why is that? Bad childhood? Lousy job? Poor athletic skills?" Finally, someone asked the question I ALWAYS wanted to ask!
ReplyDeleteThose who DID attend last night will tell you that Mark fought back. Yeah, it was not his night, but he gave it his best. I think the other's guys awkward style frustrated Mark, but it's not like he did not land any shots because he did. Mark was humble and respectful in defeat. He will be back and I will be there to support him. If you choose not to, that is your choice. But give the kid and his dad credit for trying.
ReplyDeleteThere was more action outside of the ring then inside. I have gone to all of Marks fights at the Shipley center and I want them to succeed . But that was not a good showing last night
ReplyDelete"I think that a lot of you really do not want to see the local pro boxing scene do well. It's a shame that we have to read your crap. Why don't you take up another sport to follow, say, badmitton, and just do us all a favor by leaving this website once and for all?" AMEN TO THAT!!
ReplyDeleteWow !!!!!!!!!!!!! there are some really poor sports here He lost Lets move on
ReplyDelete"Why don't you take up another sport to follow, say, badmitton, and just do us all a favor by leaving this website once and for all?"... Now featuring... BADMITTON ALONG THE BELTWAY WITH GARY "RACQUETITAL" WILLIAMS!... Don't worry, if you build it, the haters will follow!
ReplyDeleteI hear the guy that won gave he winnings to John Hopkins Children Center What a class act
ReplyDeleteYa win some, ya lose some. Keep on fighting Mark. I respect a man who knows he can lose and still has the heart to fight.
ReplyDeleteWhen did tucker start working with naazim richardson?
ReplyDeleteMark is a good kid, His father can be a prick sometimes. I will pay too see Mark fight again but we need a better undercard. Do it right or not at all Big Mark. That Judge that had it a draw, needs too be checked.
ReplyDeleteThis was his first bout with Richardson.
