Martin Loses Unanimous Decision; Williams Wins Pro Debut In Flint, MI!

Washington, DC welterweight Kareem "Reemo" Martin has lost an eight-round unanimous decision to Ryan "Cowboy" Karl of Milano, TX at the Dort Federal Event Center in Flint, MI.  The bout was televised on FS1.

Martin got off to a good start in the first two rounds as he landed crushing right hooks and left hands.  Martin caused a cut on Karl's forehead.  However, Karl started to establish his jab and used his height and reach advantage to gain control of the contest the rest of the way.  Martin lost by scores of 78-74 (twice) and 77-75.  Martin's record falls to 9-2-1, three KO's.  Karl is now 15-1, nine KO's.

On the undercard, DC's Keeshawn Williams made an impressive pro debut as he scored a crushing first-round knockout over the equally debuting Christian Sales of Mexico.  No word on the official time but Williams landed a solid left hand after a Sales flurry and knocked him down.  Moments later, Williams landed a vicious right hand that toppled Sales for the finish.
