Steffen Tangstad (5-1-3 3) vs. Joe Alexander – Tangstad landed a solid right to start the fight, while Alexander missed a number of times, then threw a wild overhand right that landed flush on Tangstad’s jaw, and Steffen went down with a thud! He got to his feet at the count of 8, but fell back, and Alexander was the winner by a KO at 1:57 of the opening round!

Dan Flynn vs. Sam Berger - Dan and Sam traded the first 4 rounds, 10-4, 7-10, 17-8 & 2-14. Berger’s power right at the end won the 2nd, and he landed 2 huge hooks in the 4th to dominate that one. Dam neutralized Sam’s power in the 1st and 3rd, landing better punches in several exchanges!

The 5th was dead even until Sam found the range with a crunching cross at the end of the round to win, 11-6, and he carried that momentum into the 6th, where he edged Dan, 10-6. Needing a round badly, Porky Flynn had a sensational 7th, landing a jolting jab that snapped Sam’s head back, as well as a series of uppercuts, to win easily, 24-5!

Dan threw a number of hook s that landed in the 8th, and their cumulative effect was greater than the one big right Sam got in, the round going 12-7. I scored it 76 all, as did the judges, for a draw! Sam landed fewer punches, 178-246, but almost all the power punches!

In the rematch, Porky Dan got in a rare power hook to win the 1st, 8-5, then danced and defended nicely to win the 2nd, 8-4. Sam came on in the 3rd, but didn’t connect for any big punches, and Dan rallied in the last minute for a 12-10 advantage! Seeing the fight slip away, Berger had a huge 4th, bashing Dan with a monster hook and several low blows, winning 19-4! Flynn’s right eye was swelling up a lot at the end of this round.

The 5th was low-scoring, as Dan sought to protect his eye. He blocked most of Sam’s punches, and landed a flurry in the last half minute to take the scoring lead, 6-5. He carried that over into the 6th, landing punches while clinching and avoiding Sam’s, but Sam got the good half-minute to make the round closer, 8-6!

Knowing he was losing, Sam poured it on in the 7th, and Flynn’s swelling got even worse. Sam landed a thumping hook to start the round and the swelling, and later landed a stunning hook that staggered Dan, winning easily, 21-4! He came out firing in the 8th, but Flynn was covering up and clinching effectively. Sam, frustrated, came out on the short end, 8-2, though the crowd was booing Dan for his constant clinching.

I scored it 77-75, Flynn, as he won a number of rounds, albeit by small margins, offsetting Berger’s huge 4th & 7th! Berger actually outlanded Flynn, 190-168, but Dan was just effective enough in many of the rounds! The judges scored it 78-75 Flynn, 76-76 and 77-76…for Dan Flynn, the winner by a majority decision! I think these two could have fought all night, they were so evenly matched!

Imamu Mayfield vs. James Broad – These two traded punches in a rock-em, sock-em war with only two quiet rounds. The 1st was a feeling-out round, won by Mayfield, 8-4. Broad bashed him with a left to open the 2nd, and the feeling out was done! James poured it on, landing a bone-jarring uppercut to end the round that hurt Mayfield, the round score being 20-9.

Mayfield jabbed in the 3rd to recover from the 2nd. Though Broad touched him for a big cross to start the round, he jabbed nicely, winning the round, 13-4, and recovered from the prior blows! Broad was able to penetrate his defenses in the 4th, blasting home a vicious combination and another huge uppercut! Mayfield retaliated with a sweet uppercut of his own at the end of the 4th, but lost, 17-8, and he had a big mouse now under his right eye!

Imamu landed another big uppercut in the 5th, scoring effectively to take it, 19-11. They traded blows in the 6th, Broad winning, 10-8, on the strength of an eye-popping hook! He landed a savage combination in the 7th, winning several exchanges in a 17-8 round! The 8th was critical, and Imamu was the one who landed the big blow, a cross that staggered Broad, and this carried him to a 9-2 round!

I had it 76-76, as did two of the judges! The third went 77-75 Mayfield, so it went into the books as a majority draw! Broad outlanded Mayfield, 219-198, in this closely-contested contest!

The rematch was more of the same! Broad hooked his way to a 10-7 advantage in the 1st, then connected for a big blow to start the 2nd, but Mayfield hammered home a huge hook and many lighter punches, winning, 16-9. He landed combination after combination in a dominating 3rd, 17-2, and Broad’s eye was swelling!

They went toe to toe in the 4th, Broad finishing the round with a smashing hook to gain the nod, 11-8! Broad got in a big left in the 5th, which he won, 8-6, despite his eye getting worse! Mayfield used the swelling to his advantage in the 6th & 7th, clobbering Broad, 17-2, in the 6th, punctuated by a big combination and uppercut, then continuing in a 17-10 7th, as Broad’s eye was a mess!

James landed a big (and needed) hook to start the 8th, and hung on in an 8-6 round. Mayfield landed far more punches, 246-155, and won his rounds in more dominating fashion, but I still had the fight a 76-76 draw! The judges scored it 77-75 Mayfield, 76-76 & 78-75 for…the winner by a majority decision, Imamu Mayfield! Again, I thought these two, who in fact did fight all night, were even, even though Broad’s face was much the worse for wear! I thought they’d fight at least 24 rounds this night!

Dante Cane vs. Brian London – Cane didn’t come into this fight in the best of shape, and that could tell in a bout with the durable London! The first 2 rounds were action-packed, Cane landing a massive hook at the bell to win 1, 12-7, then London connecting for a series of jabs that offset two booming hooks from Cane, 12-10!

Cane slowed down in the 3rd, and London tagged him with a hook and then a combination, winning a low-scoring affair, 8-4. Brian had a huge 4th, finding the range with uppercuts and finally decking Cane for a 3 count at the end of the round, which went 20-3! A little woozy, Cane was hit by some uppercuts, among other punches, in the 5th. He did land a big uppercut at the end to make it more respectable, 12-8!

Needing a round (or rounds) badly, Dante fought a solid 6th, winning, 13-6, with a left that moved London back as the highlight punch! He was shaking his hand at the end of the round, leaving the concern of a possible injury! The two traded fouls and punches in a spirited 7th, but a smoking right may have given Cane the round, 12-11!

Desperate, Cane came out in the 8th throwing the heavy artillery. London ducked most, but Cane was able (ouch

) to connect for 2 sweet uppercuts and a right that staggered Brian. Cane won the round handily, 13-4, but was it enough?

I had it 76-75, London the winner because of his knockdown. The judges scored it 77-74, 74-77 and 77-74, a split decision win for…Brian London! Both of the London judges gave him the nod in rounds 6 and 8! I thought London won it, but only by a hair, or punch!
