'Da Heat' Hemphill Wins in Connecticut!

Woodbridge, VA light heavyweight Edward "Da Heat" Hemphill scored a third-round TKO over previously undefeated Joe McCreedy last night at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT.

Published reports say that the bout was a competitive fight that was dominated early by McCreedy. However, Hemphill rallied in the third round by knocking McCreedy down twice. McCreedy appeared to suffer a broken jaw in the bout. The bout was stopped at 2:47 of the round.

The win was Hemphill's second straight. In fact, Hemphill's wins have come in a two-week period. He defeated Simon Carr by four-round unanimous decision in Philadelphia on October 14.

Hemphill has had an up-and-down career but since his September 14 six-round unanimous decision loss to Willie "For Real" Williams at Martin's West, Hemphill has gone unbeaten in his last three bouts, all against previously undefeated competition. Hemphill's record is now 6-5-1, three KO's.
