As unorthodox as Brown’s approach and tactics were, however, he spent the vast majority of the fight arguing with the referee and with those in attendance rather than trying to win the fight. This allowed Bridges to out work him over the six rounds to win a convincing unanimous decision. At the conclusion of the fight, Brown oddly took his trunks off in the middle of the ring for several minutes before the decision was announced. Official scores were 60-54 (On all three official scorecards) in favor of Bridges. Julian Bridges advances to 6-0, with 2 Knockouts. Frank Brown falls to 3-6-2, with 1 Knockout.
Also on this card:
Undefeated Jr. Middleweight Dwyke Flemmings kept his perfect record intact by scoring a first round knockout of forty-two year old veteran Lenwood Dozier. From the opening bell Flemmings kept Dozier on the defensive where he was strictly covering up and not trying to throw any punches. What resembled a fighter working a heavy bag in the gym with a constant barrage of body and head punches finally put Dozier on the canvas. Dozier did get up from the knockdown, but when the fight continued and Dozier continued not to throw any punches, it was mercifully stopped. Official time of the stoppage was 2:31 of round one. Dwyke Flemmings advances to 8-0, with 8 Knockouts. Lenwood Dozier falls to 10-38-3, with 5 Knockouts.
Jr. Welterweight Jordy Gonzalez successfully made his professional debut with a first round stoppage of Jashawn Hunter. The fight started with both fighters standing and trading punches and was halted suddenly when Hunter told the referee that he had hurt his hand. Following consultation with a ringside physician it was determined that Hunter could not continue. Official time of the stoppage was 1:14 of round one. Jordy Gonzalez advances to 1-0, with 1 Knockout. Jashawn Hunter falls to 1-9, with 1 Knockout.
Light-Heavyweight Ryan Diaz successfully made his professional debut by scoring a first round knockout of Darius Taylor. A right hook, left hook, right hook combination to the head sent Taylor down for the ten count in his own corner. Official time of the stoppage was 2:10 of round one. Ryan Diaz advances to 1-0, with 1 Knockout. Darius Taylor falls to 0-4, with 0 Knockouts.
Undefeated Flyweight Tayvien Alpough moved to 3-0 in his young career by scoring a first round knockout of a very “Game" Riley Buck. Alpough dropped Buck with a left hook to the body early in round one. Buck showed his mettle by getting up from the knockdown only to be dropped with a flush right hook to the head seconds later. As he had done the previous time, Buck got up once more and tried to fight back, but it was only seconds before he was sent down for a third and final time forcing a stoppage of the bout. Official time of the stoppage was 2:25 of round one. Tayvien Alpough advances to 3-0, with 3 Knockouts. Riley Buck falls to 0-2, with 0 Knockouts.
Heavyweight Curtis Harper began the evening by scoring a first round knockout of veteran Antwaun Tubbs, the son of former WBA Heavyweight world champion Tony Tubbs. Despite the lineage Tubbs brought with him into the ring, he put up no resistance in this fight as he spent more time on the canvas seeming to look for a way out than he did trying to compete. The fight was halted after three official knockdowns where it was difficult to tell which punches landed to cause Tubbs to go down. Official time of the stoppage was 2:33 of round one. Curtis Harper advances to 17-11, with 10 Knockouts. Antwaun Tubbs falls to 5-20, with 2 Knockouts.
The twenty-first addition of promoter Jimmy Adams’ Country Box series, which mixes Boxing with live music almost had a rarity in the sport. In addition to live music from Cowboy Calvin on this edition of the series, the Boxing end of the equation nearly produced a first round knockout in every bout on the card, with the exception of the main event. While a total of twelve rounds of Boxing combined in six fights is not something that anyone who puts together a card aims for, it does prove the point that Boxing is truly unpredictable and no matter what things might look like in terms of a fighter’s record coming into a fight, you never know what will happen once a fight starts. It is such unpredictability that is one of the many appeals of the sport of Boxing.
