September 15th 2008 00:41
David Banks, former contestant on The Contender, picked up the NWBA Super Middleweight title with a third round KO of Louis Sargeant Saturday night at the Emerald Queen Casino in America. Banks dominated the action from the opening bell, keeping his distance and landing crisp combinations on Sargeant, whose game plan was to move forward face first. Near the end of the third round, Sargeant walked into a devastating right hand that had him out on his feet. Banks added a left hook, and Sargeant went down face first and stayed there for the ten count. Time of stoppage was 2:51. Banks goes to 17-4-1 and Sargeant drops to 10-12-2.
In the co-main event, Cruiserweight Robert “Bad News” Brue (5-0) out of Portland, Oregon, got off the deck to chop down Ron Simmons (2-2) in five rounds. Simmons had a reach advantage, and used it well early in the fight. In the first round, Simmons dropped Brue with a thundering straight right. Brue shook it off, and used a methodical body attack to break his man down. In the fifth round, a wicked liver shot sent Simmons down. Though Simmons beat the count, the referee waved the fight off. Time of the TKO was 2:33. (More)
