Back to the tournament after a weekend of celebrating my birthday and then recovering from it and realizing how old I am getting to be

! The Lincoln Theater was jumping for the second half of Round 1 in the Thundering Threes Tourney. None of the 3 level 1 and 2 fighters in the upper half had advanced to the next round, though Pedro Agosto had come close! The fans were ready as the first four bouts of the second half took place. The results are as follows:

John Holman vs. George Johnson – Holman may have injured his hand in the 1st round, after connecting for a big cross. Johnson slammed him with a big hook to drive him into the ropes as the round ended, 9-4. Scrapiron won the 2nd, 8-6, but was warned for using his elbows. Holman landed a massive uppercut at the end to take the 3rd, 11-8, but Johnson won a spirited 4th, 19-8, aided bt a last minute rally and a huge straight right!

Holman won the 5th, 5-2, avoiding George’s attempts, then took a very close 6th, 7-6, as he danced and avoided Scrapiron! Scrapiron wasn’t to be denied in the 7th, landing at will, 16-2, and cutting Holman on the left eyebrow. John, bleeding and possibly with an injured hand, needed the 8th, and he fought courageously and well, taking it, 10-0!

I had it a draw. The judges went 78-74 Holman (what fight was he watching?), 76-76 and 77-76 for…John Holman, the winner by a majority decision! Holman fought well considering his potential injury, but was outlanded, 194-144, and should have been happy to escape with a draw! But Romy’s man moves on, and the Muckboys are happy

!!!

Pat Valentino vs. John Ferguson – The first 3 rounds were deplorable. Valentine won the 1st, 7-2, landed a huge winging right in the 2nd, but losing, 6-5, as Ferguson had a great last 30 seconds. Fergie won the 3rd, 7-1, but the fans were booing!

Both men came out firing in the 4th, trading punches, but a huge hook won it for Valentino, 17-10! He savaged Ferguson, 18-7, in the 5th, cutting him on the forehead with a bashing right!

Valentino picked up the pace even more in the 6th, buoyed by the animated crowd, connecting for hook after hook, one that had some cheese on it, and he won convincingly, 18-5, and Ferguson’s eye was swelling badly! The 7th was a tight round, 8-8, Pat landing another big hook, while Ferguson fought bravely on despite his eye getting worse!

Ferguson needed a miracle in the 8th, and, instead, his cut was reopened and the fight halted to check on it

. Allowed to continue, despite both eyes having limited vision, he suddenly hammered Valentino with a pulverizing uppercut, flooring him. Blood streaming down his face, he squinted and sighed as Valentino reached his feet at the count of 9, and the bout continued!

Charging in, Ferguson again connected, and Valentino dropped like a shot. He regained his feet at the count of 8, and Ferguson shook his head and charged yet again, but Valentino was able to cover up, and the round ended, 23-2!

Both fighters saluted each other while they awaited the decision! I had it 76 all, a draw, with Ferguson winning the 8th, 10-7. The judges scored the fight 76-74 Ferguson, 75-75 and 76-74 for…the winner by a majority decision, John Ferguson! The last round propelled him to an unlikely, Rocky-esque victory!

Terry Daniels vs. Charley Mitchell – This fight had to be dull in comparison to the last one, and it was close all the way. Daniels won the 1st, 11-8, getting a big cross home, and surviving Mitchell’s last-second uppercut! They traded punches in a close, 8-8 2nd, then Mitchell rallied to win the 3rd, 10-4, landing a series of hooks!

The 4th was even-Stephen until Terry threw a savage combination at the end for an 11-6 advantage! The 5th was dead even, 8-8. Daniels saw an opening at the start of the 6th, and landed a big hook flush, and Mitchell landed on the canvas with a thud! He was counted out, Daniels the winner by a KO in the 6th at 0:34.

Young Jack Johnson vs. Jim Barry – Barry landed a monster uppercut to capture a low-scoring 1st, 7-4, then got a nice hook in to open the 2nd. Johnson came back behind his jab, and may have done enough to win the round, 12-11. Young Jack connected with a variety of punches to take the 3rd, 11-6, then continued in the 4th, taking an 11-0 lead as he frustrated Barry with his boxing acumen! Barry tried a wild overhand right, and somehow it landed on Johnson’s jaw, and all the fine boxing went for naught, as he couldn’t beat the bell. Outboxed, Barry was the winner by KO at 2:56 of the 4th!
