Two quality wins for Beltway Boxers on Saturday. Baltimore, MD's "The Heavy-Hitting Diva" Franchon Crews-Dezurn captured her second world title with a 10-round unanimous decision over late substitute Maricela "La Diva" Cornejo of Los Angeles, CA at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, CA. Crews-Dezurn successfully defended her WBC Super Middleweight championship and won the vacant WBO Super Middleweight title.
According to Fightnews.com's Miguel Maravilla and Rocky Morales, Crews-Dezurn beat Cornejo to the punch throughout the bout and landed the harder and heavier shots. Judges Carla Caiz and Pat Russell scored the bout 98-92 while Daniel Sandoval saw a 97-93 score. The bout was a rematch of a contest that took place almost one year ago to the day (September 13, 2018) where Crews-Dezurn won a 10-round majority decision to win the WBC title. Crews-Dezurn raises her record to 6-1, two KO's while Cornejo falls to 13-4, five KO's.
At the Wind Creek Event Center in Bethlehem, PA, Mykal "The Professor" Fox of Upper Marlboro, MD put on a dominating performance en route to a 10-round unanimous decision over Eudy "AK-47" Bernardo of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Fightnews.com's Kurt Wolfheimer gave this description of the bout: Fox, ranked number 15 by the WBA (at welterweight), took over in the second round, unloading various combinations that forced Bernardo on the defensive.
The slick Fox continued to rack up the points as he stepped in and out of the pocket with four and five punch combinations throughout rounds three through seven. Bernardo’s nickname was AK47, but Fox’s movement and superior boxing ability completely disarmed him and he could land only single shots on occasion.
Fox wobbled Bernardo in the eighth round a straight left-right combo up the middle but he covered and survived. The boxing lesson continued throughout the final two rounds as Fox kept him a bay and circled around the ring with snapping shots.
All three judges scored the bout a shutout for Fox, 100-90. Fox is now 21-1, five KO's while Bernardo drops to 25-5, 18 KO's.
