Stupendous 6s Round 2 Fight 12
Vaughn Bean (1-0 1 1) vs. Bruce Woodcock (1-0 1) – Bean had stopped Larry Middleton on cuts in 6 after battling to a draw, while Bruce had demolished Duncan Dokiwari for a 4th round TKO.
Bean timidly covered up immediately after being tagged by a laser hook . He lasted the round, losing 11-2, and then dropped a lackluster 5-2 2nd in which he was cautioned twice. He was warned in the 3rd for leaning on the neck, Woodcock’s hard uppercut the highlight of a 4-4 snorer.
Round 4 had more action than the first 3 put together (which admittedly wasn’t much). After a probing first minute, Bruce went Boom, boom, boom, saluting the Black Eyes Peas with 3 slamming uppercuts  . Bean was ready to drop, drop, drop, but he caught an onrushing Woodcock with a pile-driving uppercut of his own, staggering him ! Bruce wound up and uncorked a winging right, which landed flush, and now Bean was holding on, literally, again, with a cut under his right eye ! Woodcock took the donnybrook, 22-12, seemingly in command.
The 5th was a min-4th, as they traded punches, Bean rallying on the strength of a laser right to take it, 12-10. Woodcock rode a hard left and hook to a 12-6 6th, and a straight right and hammering right to an 8-6 7th. He was way up at this point.
Bruce opened the 8th with a sizzling combination, catching the desperate Bean coming in ! Vaughn stunned him with a right hook, followed by a sweet uppercut . Swarming, Bean landed a hook, scoring a flash 3 count KD! Woodcock wisely decided to cover, but the suddenly Killer-Bean pierced his defense with a rocket right. Bruce instinctively raised his hands, and Bean blasted him with a shot to the body . Bruce crumpled to the floor, but somehow was up, gasping, at the count of 9. The ref took one look and waved his hands. At 2:19 of the 8th, with the points 18-6, Vaughn Bean was awarded a TKO!
The Woodcock corner was up in arms, as were the Woodcock fans, as their man had been leading 68-65, 70-64 (2)   . This was another semi-controversial ending for Bean, who has yet to truly impress.
