Well, we actually have some live boxing to talk about.  Congratulations to Randallstown, MD super welterweight Cecil McCalla who scored a first-round TKO over Matias Garcia of Ciudad Sandino, Nicaragua on Saturday, June 27th at the White Sands Treatment Center in Plant City, FL.

According to reports, McCalla did an outstanding job of countering Garcia's attack and he knocked Garcia down twice before referee Andrew Glenn waved the bout off at 1:57 of the opening round.

This was the first bout for McCalla since he lost a 10-round unanimous decision to Madiyar Ashkeyev in Tucson, AZ in May of 2019.  That bout was for the NABF Jr. Super Welterweight title.  With the victory, McCalla raises his record to 22-4, nine KO's.

Garcia has now lost three straight contests, all by knockout, and his record drops to 17-18-1, 14 KO's.
