Temple Hills, MD super middleweight D'Mitrius "Big Meech" Ballard won an eight-round unanimous decision over Alan "Amenaza" Campa of Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico Thursday night at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, CA.
According to David Robinett of Fightnews.com, the first round was evenly contested. Campa was the first to seize momentum, ripping several left hooks to the body in round two, visibly bothering Ballard. Campa continued to work the body in round three, but Ballard’s right to the head landed consistently, keeping him in the fight. Campa had his best round of the fight in the fourth, catching Ballard with a right hook to the head late in the round that stunned Ballard, allowing Campa to land a series of unanswered punches before Ballard fired back a combination at the bell.
The momentum began to turn in round five however, with Ballard coming back strong with several right hooks of his own, causing Campa to shake his head to the crowd that he wasn’t hurt after one particularly nasty hook caused his head to swivel. Ballard began to show his class through the middle rounds, repeatedly outlanding a tiring Campa with combinations to the head while Campa continued working the body, but with less frequency than before. By round eight, Ballard was in control despite Campa still forcing an honest pace, punctuating the round with a straight right that caused Campa to hold in order to buy some time to recover, though neither fighter ever appeared in danger of going down.
Ballard won the bout by scores of 80-72, 79-73 and 78-74 to keep his undefeated string going at 19-0, 12 KO's. This is Ballard's third straight unanimous decision victory. Campa falls to 17-4, 11 KO's.
