Beltway Boxers were, for the most part, very successful on the weekend of July 10th scoring wins in a number of locations.
Let's start on Friday, July 9th at the Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles, CA where a leaner and stronger super featherweight Lamont Roach, Jr. of Upper Marlboro, MD scored an impressive second-round knockout over Daniel "Bad Boy" Rosas of Mexico City, Mexico. Roach was able to show great power by landing body shots that would eventually stop Rosas at 2:14 of the second. The win is Roach's second straight knockout victory since losing his title opportunity against Jamel Herring in November of 2019. Roach is now 21-1-1, nine KO's. Rosas falls to 22-5-1, 14 KO's.
On the same card, Baltimore, MD heavyweight Colby Madison lost by second-round knockout to Mihai Nistor of Bucharest, Romania in a very strange bout. Madison actually knocked down Nistor in both the first and second round. However, Madison also suffered knockdowns in both rounds. Nistor landed a body shot in the second round that Madison couldn't recover from. The bout was stopped at 2:16 of the second. Madison is now 9-3-2, six KO's while Nistor is 3-0, three KO's.
Two locals scored first-round knockouts on a card at 1500 Grand Central Avenue in Vienna, WVA on Saturday, July 10th. Baltimore, MD super welterweight "Bazooka" Joe Veazey stopped Leonidas Fowlkes of Winchester, VA at 2:59. Veazey remains undefeated at 4-0, three KO's while Fowlkes falls to 2-3.
Also, Baltimore super middleweight Tyrell Boyd knocked out Tyrell Fry of Houma, LA at 2:56 of the first round. Boyd is now 2-0, two KO's. Fry is 0-2.
On Saturday, July 10th at the Trec Recreation Center in Newark, NJ, featherweight Chamar Flowers of Accokeek, MD made a successful pro debut winning a four-round unanimous decision over the equally debuting Elie Charles of Brooklyn, NY by way of Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. No word on the scores. Flowers had a long and distinguished amateur career in the Beltway.
