Because of personal and technical issues, I have been unable to post on a regular basis. But we have a couple of news items that need to be posted here.
Former WBO Super Welterweight champion DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley lost his debut as a bare-knuckle boxer as he was stopped in the fourth round by Reggie Barnett, Jr. of Chesapeake, VA on Friday, March 19th at the Civic Center of Biloxi, MS. Barnett battered Corley throughout the contest until Corley could not come out for the fifth round.
Barnett is 6-1, two KO's in Bare-Knuckle competition. Corley mentioned on a Facebook Page that he is non-committal about trying bare-knuckle boxing again.
The Baltimore, MD State's Attorney's Office has charged WBA Lightweight champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis with 14 counts of various traffic violations during an alleged hit-and-run in Baltimore in November.
Among the counts are four counts of Failure to immediately return and remain at the scene of an accident involving bodily injury and driving with a suspended and revoked license. This was after a two-vehicle collision between a 2020 Lamborghini Uris and a 2004 Toyota Solara during the early morning hours of November 5th of 2020. Four people in the Toyota Solara were injured.
After the collision, witnesses and video revealed that a black Camaro arrived at the scene and people began transferring items from the Lamborghini to the Camaro. Allegedly, Davis and an unidentified female passenger were captured on camera leaving the scene in the Camaro. If convicted of all charges, Davis faces a potential maximum of seven years and 55 days in prison.
Davis still faces three domestic violence charges in Miami, FL that come from an incident during Super Bowl week in February 2020.
Davis (24-0, 23 KO's) is coming off the biggest win of his career, knocking out Leo Santa Cruz in the sixth round on October 31st at the Alamodome in San Antonio, TX. The bout headlined a Showtime Pay-Per-View card and the knockout was chosen as the KO Of The Year by The Ring magazine.
