Williams, Simpson Get Unanimous Decisions In Brooklyn!

Two Beltway Boxers have won workmanlike unanimous decisions at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY on Saturday evening.

District Heights, MD welterweight "The Next Big Thing" Keyshawn Williams went eight rounds for the first time as a pro and defeated Gaku Takahashi of Los Angeles, CA by way of Japan.  Williams hit Takahashi with some wicked punches throughout the contest but Takahashi proved to be very durable.  Williams won by scores of 79-73, 78-74 and 80-72 to remain undefeated at 7-0-1, two KO's.  Takahashi falls to 16-11-1, eight KO's.

Baltimore middleweight Lorenzo "Truck" Simpson won a six-round unanimous decision over Antonio Louis Hernandez of Kansas City, KS.  Simpson was in control for the majority of the bout landing crisp jabs and shots to the body.  All three judges scored the bout 59-55.  Simpson is now 7-0, four KO's.  Hernandez drops to 2-11-1.

The bout for Patrick Harris that was scheduled to be on the Showtime Championship Boxing streaming webcast had to be moved until after the main event due to time constraints.
