A host of Beltway Boxers were in action this past weekend around the country. Most of the locals were successful in their competitive endeavors.
On the Gervonta Davis-Mario Barrios undercard on Saturday, June 26th at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, GA, super lightweight Stacey Selby of Upper Marlboro, MD scored a third-round TKO over Willam Parra Smith of Anchorage, AK. Selby would knock down Smith in the third round. Smith beat referee Jerry Cantu's count but he could not continue. Selby is now 3-0, three KO's while Smith falls to 3-7-1, three KO's.
At the Virgin Hotel in Las Vegas, NV, welterweight Cecil McCalla of Randallstown, MD lost an eight-round unanimous decision to undefeated contender Giovani "Gallo De Oro" Santillan of San Diego, CA.

On Sunday, June 27th at the Minneapolis Armory in Minneapolis, MN, super middleweight Alantez "SlyAza" Fox stopped Manny "Shake 'Em Up" Woods of St. Petersburg, FL in the seventh round.

Fox is now 28-2-1, 13 KO's while Woods dropped to 17-12-1, six KO's.
