Laurel, MD super middleweight Demond "D Best At It" Nicholson scored a first-round technical knockout over Jessie "The Beast" Nicklow of Baltimore, MD to win the Maryland State Super Middleweight title in front of a sellout crowd at Live! Casino in Hanover, MD. The bout was the main event of a Jeter Promotions card.
Nicholson made a crossroads bout very easy by landing strong body shots followed by a strong straight left hand that dropped Nicklow on the seat of his pants. Nicklow beat the count but was on shaky legs. Referee David Braslow took a look and stopped the contest at 1:16.
"The jab was always in the plan," Nicholson told reporters after the bout. "The body shots were a little bit different for me. Everything I learned showed up tonight."
"I saw that he wasn't warmed up for the bout, so I tried to jump on him," Nicklow said. "I just got caught. It's boxing. He can really punch."
Nicholson wins his third straight contest and raises his record to 21-3-1, 20 KO's. Nicklow falls to 27-10-3, nine KO's and loses his first bout in the state of Maryland. (26-1-3, eight KO's in the state).
The co-feature saw Glenarden, MD lightweight Drayvontay Speed Rawls register a third-round TKO over Elkridge, MD's "The Red Comet" Dante Cox. The hand speed of Speed Rawls proved to be the difference in the contest as he landed a blistering right-left combination to Cox's head and body that dropped him. Cox beat referee Kenny Chevalier's count but Chevalier ruled that Cox was not fit to continue. The bout ended at 1:28 of the third.
Speed Rawls is now 11-1-1, eight KO's while Cox, an employee at one of the restaurants in Live! Casino, loses for the first time and is now 3-1, two KO's.
The bout between undefeated Bowie, MD super lightweight Greg "Sharpshooter" Outlaw and Tyrone "Butterfly" Crawley, Jr. of Philadelphia, PA ended in a no contest after approximately two minutes of the first round.

After ringside doctors examined Crawley's leg, they ruled that the bout would not continue. Outlaw's record remains at 7-0, two KO's while Crawley stays at 7-1-1.

For Haney, the bout was his second straight draw and he is now 0-3-2.
Newport News, VA heavyweight Jerry "Slug" Forrest won an eight-round unanimous decision over Grover Young of Memphis, TN. This third meeting between the two men was less contentious than the previous two bouts, both won by Forrest in 2017.

Forrest would win the bout as Judge Gradowski saw the bout 76-73, Judge Rados scored it 78-71 and Judge Risher witnessed a 77-72 score.

This was the worst boxing card I have ever seen. Matchmaking was horrible. Many of these fighters couldn't win a fight in the streets. Falling down after throwing a punch out gas after the first round. It was sad and disappointing. No wonder it sold out my basement is bigger than this place. Bad for boxing. Nobody wants to see some clown propose in the ring what a joke. Many people around me where yelling they wanted there money back, that's how good it was. I wont go back.
I did't mind the proposal, that was good but the matches seemed overmatched. They should have never allowed Cox to fight Rawls. Too much fights under the Rawls belt, bad judgement ftom the coaches but the other fights wasn't good also. I still think the first time MD Live Casino had the fight on CBS last year was there best because all thr fights from first to last fight was dominate. Last night half those fighters just wanted a pay check
Karl you are right, half those fighters only came for a pay check & I already knew it would'nt be as good as last year but atleast be ok. Cox should have never fought rawls & the coaches should be ashamed. What they should have done was bring back all the winners from last year on the card & besides the last fighter who was on last year & he looked outstanding.
Nicholson & Cox i think was the only people from last year who fought last night. If you want the same people from last year, tell them to pay them the money they earn & deserve. You have to understand, fighters like Ivan Golub, Mykal Fox, Charles Johnson, ZARIFBEK NISHANBAEV,FRANCISCO BUSTOS that helped the fights last year to be amazing has moved on to bigger fights. So of course too get them back, money talks.
Why would they want to come back Wilt when they can get more money in New York or Vegas. Unless MD Live or MGM National Harbor gives them good money. Other than that, they have more opportunities eleswhere.
Your right Karl, that's the business of the sport. Demond Nicholson the only one who looked really good from the pack of last year. All the new fighters congrads on the win lastnight & Cox vs Rawls was a bad match making but Cox can bounce back, just go back to the lab & get better
