Floyd “Jumbo” Cummings (1-0) vs. Peter Maher – Jumbo had nudged the popular Johnny Paychek via a majority decision, and came out like a lion, winning the first 4 rounds, three of them by large margins.

He landed far heavier blows, and Maher was in a big hole! Peter erased part of the deficit in the 5th, winning, 21-2, highlighted by a 3 count knockdown! Peter won a close 6th, though Jumbo rallied with a nasty cross at the end.

Floyd reasserted himself in the 7th, scoring a 3 count knockdown on a brutal combination to start the round. He landed a big hook, but Maher avoided his other bombs, and weathered the storm, but for how long? Jumbo was up 68-64 at this point, well on his way!

Maher shocked Cummings with a five punch combination to open the 8th, and Jumbo crashed to the canvas! Up at the count of 8, he soon was back on the mat, a cross scoring a 4 count KD! Plucky but pudgy, Jumbo went down a third time

, this time for a 7 count, but staggered back to his feet and waved his gloves to get it on! The referee did, stopping the fight, Maher the winner by a TKO at 2:13 of the 8th! The fans cheered Maher for his valiant comeback!

Roger Rischer vs. Jean-Francois Bergeron- Bergeron fought an Ernie Terrell-like fight, filled with fouls. He won one of the first three rounds, but had a point deducted for a head butt

. The 4th was spirited and even, Rischer rallying in the last 30 seconds. Bergeron landed three huge shots, the best a searing right, to take the 5th by a wide margin.

Cut on the forehead in the 6th, Bergeron then picked up warnings for low blows in the next 2 rounds, one that was even, one where he was well behind. Another point was deducted for the 2nd violation, his 6th foul of the fight

. Bergeron tried a novel approach, going above the belt, in the 9th, landing two savage uppercuts, a booming hook and two combinations. He cut Roger the non-dodger around the right eye, and outpointed him, 21-3.

Still well behing, Bergeron landed a punch early in the 10th that reopened Rischer’s cut, and the fight was stopped, Bergeron the winner by a TKO on cuts at 0:59 of the 10th! Rischer’s corner was livid

, as their man was well ahead, but it goes in the books as a win for Bergeron. Rischer is demanding a rematch.
