George Godfrey (1-0 1) vs. Mike Evans (level 5 runnerup) (7-1 4) – Old Chocolate had starched Tony Galento on a 1^st round TKO

, while Evans had narrowly advanced via a majority decision over Franz Botha. They were even in a dull 6-6 1^st, highlighted by Godfrey being warned for rabbit punching. George used his jab to pull away in a 12-7 2^nd, though Mighty Mike connected with a hard hook. Evans countered nicely in the last minute of the 3^rd to pull away, 16-6, a sharp combination sealing the round!

Evans built a nice lead in the 4^th, a cranium-crusher stunning George for a moment, but George rallied with a huge right hook to make it closer, 13-6. They went after each other hammer and tongs in the 5^th, Godfrey opening with a hook to the middle, Evans answering with a winging right! George’s jab was pumping frequently, and he rocked Evans with a hook and then staggered him at round’s end with a cross

, winning 18-10. I had Evans no worse than 48-48 at the halfway mark.

Evans’ right eye had begun to swell, so he leaped out to start the 6^th, almost flooring Godfrey with a left hook downstairs followed by a searing straight right upstairs

! George was cut under the left eye, and reduced to holding and hitting. The round ended, Evans up 14-6, but it could have been more.

George protected his eye, then lashed out with a hard cross. He followed this with a rapier-like jab and bruising cross, and now Mike’s eye was getting downright ugly! Godfrey peppered the eye with jabs, and only a last-second uppercut made it respectable, 16-7! George landed a quick jab to start the 8^th, and cut Evans over his right eye! He launched a searing cross, but Mike came back with a sweet uppercut. George moved around, using his jabs to set up a voracious combination, and Mike crashed to the canvas

. He got to one knee at the count of 7, but just missed beating the count, and Godfrey was the winner by a KO at 2:17 of the 8^th in what had been a very close contest! Evans had acquitted himself well, but the ranks of the Level 5 fighters were shrinking.
