Beltway Boxers went two for three on a card at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona, NY on Saturday.
In the nationally-televised (HBO) co-feature, Forestville, MD middleweight Alantez "SlyAza" Fox lost a 12-round unanimous decision to undefeated former world champion Demetrius "Boo Boo" Andrade. Fox was never in the contest as he was rocked by an Andrade left hand early in the first round. Fox did get credit for a flash knockdown in the seventh round, however replays clearly showed that Andrade slipped and Fox did not land a punch.
Fox lost by scores of 118-110, 118-109 and 116-111. After the bout, Fox went to the hospital to treat a possibly dislocated left shoulder. Fox loses for the first time in his career and his record is now 23-1-1, 11 KO's. Andrade made a successful debut at middleweight as his record rises to 26-0, 16 KO's.
On the undercard, Upper Marlboro, MD super featherweight Lamont Roach, Jr. won by first round TKO when his opponent, Luis Hinojosa of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, hurt his ankle as he stepped awkwardly on the canvas. After consulting with ringside doctors, the bout was waved off at 2:04. Roach, Jr. is now 15-0, six KO's while Hinojosa falls to 30-13, 18 KO's.
Temple Hills, MD light heavyweight D'Mitrius "Big Meech" Ballard won a 10-round unanimous decision over a very tough Jaime "Zarco" Solario of San Quentin, Mexico. Ballard was able to land the better punches but Solario wasn't going anywhere and was very awkward throughout the bout. Ballard won by scores of 98-92 and 99-91 (twice) to raise his record to 18-0, 12 KO's while Solario drops to 11-3-2, eight KO's.
Congratulations to Fox for collecting that check
