Washington DC Convention Center; Washington, DC
Sharmba Mitchell 29-0 (14) Washington, DC
vs.
Jorge Paez 39-6-6 (26) Mexico
AND
Darryl Tyson 36-4 (18) Washington, DC
vs.
Sergei Artemiev 16-1-1 (11) Russia
- Sergei Artemiev was a slight 3-2 favorite.
- Both fighters entered the ring in top condition. Artemiev spent extra time studying tapes of past Tyson fights and developing a plan of defeating him.
- Artemiev had little trouble with defeating Darryl Tyson. The highlight of the fight for Tyson was his 4th round mocking of Artemiev him with a shimmy and shake after taking a hard right hand. Tyson then retaliated with some of the best punches landed by either fighter.
- Artemiev resumed control in round 5 and never relinquished it from that point forward.
- Tyson was dropped in round 9 and then again in round 10, but got up to gamely fight on both times. By the fights conclusion, Tyson’s face looked like it had been hit with a baseball bat. His left eye (15) was almost completely closed and his right eye brow had a cut that had been bleeding off and on since round 2. Ringside Expert Tom Trunzo had it 98 to 90 for Atemiev. Punches landed numbers also were in Artemeiv’s favor: 341 to 179.
- The official judges all had it for Artemiev 96-91, 97-90, and 97-91.

- The odds were EVEN on who would win the Jorge Paez vs. Sharmba Mitchell crossroads encounter. The best days of Jorge Paez seemed to be well in his past, while the future of the undefeated Sharmba Mitchell appeared limitless
- Mitchell was too fast, too, strong, too big, too young, and just too good for the 28 year old Jorge Paez.
- Paez made 4 trips to the canvas and got up on unsteady legs every time. The veteran fighter from Mexico’s tenacity and heart kept him in the fight and did lead to a few solid exchanges, but he finished the fight far behind on the judges scorecards.
