Caribbean Boxing Federation Championship
CABOFE Title Fight - Black River, Jamaica
[Champion] O'Neil Bell, Jamaica, 16-3-0 (15) vs Uriah Grant, Jamaica, 14-2-0 (13)
Champion O'Neil Bell gives fellow countryman Grant a shot at his CABOFE title. While many think that Bell is ducking some better competition, Grant doesnt feel that sentiment and is bringing the fight to the champion. Grant is definitely more active and is more effective and has a higher work rate. Bell is coming on here at the end of the fight. Grant lands a hard cross that puts Bell down in the 15th. Bell gets up but goes down for the second time in the last round. The champion makes it up at the count of five and survives to the bell. I have a feeling that those two knockdowns will turn this decision. Bell came into the fight a little out of shape and overconfident that Grant would be an easy title defense. As a result, he ran out of gas. What a tremendous finish to this championship fight!
