Heavyweight Jonathan Guidry (18-1-2, 6 KOs) scored a spectacular seventh round KO over previously unbeaten Dacarree “Mac Truck” Scott (7-1, 6 KOs) to claim Scott’s NABA gold title on the Bryan-Dubois card at the Casino Miami Jai-Alai in Miami, Florida. Good action fight between two short, stocky, well-matched boxers. Toe-to-toe action all the way. In the end, Guidry won the war of attrition. Time was 2:01. Guidry was inspired by the ten count for former promoter Les Bonano, who recently passed.
NABA cruiserweight titleholder Johnnie Langston (11-3, 4 KOs) took a hard fought ten round split decision over Isaiah Thompson (6-2-1, 5 KOs). Thompson rocked Langston in round eight, but was dropped himself during his follow-up. Good toe-to-toe action in round ten. Scores were 95-94 Thompson, 95-94, 97-92 Langston.
In a clash for the NABA light heavyweight title, Ahmed Elbialo (22-1, 18 KOs) won via disqualification against hyper-aggressive Dervin Colina (16-2, 14 KOs). Colina rocked Elbiali in round two, but was deducted two points from referee San Burgos in round three. Burgos took another point in round four and Colina was DQ’d.
Unbeaten super middleweight Luis Rodriguez (9-0, 9 KOs) knocked out Ryan Adams (8-6-1, 6 KOs) at 2:26 of round three. Until two late knockdowns, Adams was winning.
Unbeaten super lightweight Raynel Mederos (7-0, 1 KO) made quick work of Ryan Wilson (1-1, 1 KO), bombing him out of there in round two. Wilson was down twice and the bout was waved off at 1:20.
NABA welterweight titleholder “Trigger” Tre-Sean Wiggins (14-5-3, 8 KOs) smoked local favorite Travis Castellon (17-5-1, 12KOs) in the first round. Castellon down three times before it was stopped after 2:07.
In a clash for the WBA Continental Americas middleweight title, Ian “The Young General” Green (16-2, 11 KOs) outscored Anthony Lenk (17-9, 7 KOs) over ten. Scores were 99-91, 98-92, 98-92.
No shock.. I said no chance Bryan makes it to the midway mark, and it went exactly as most of us thought. Bryan barely landed a punch. Dubois didn’t look at his best, but was miles better than the pretender.
Hard to get a sense of how good Dubois is from that fight. Bryan was okay at moments defensively in terms of making himself hard to hit clean and moving away from the right, but had zero offense.
Bryan looked like he was trying not to get knocked out, so credit to Dubois for finishing him relatively quickly.
Dubois still did not look like a guy ready to be in top ten world level fights.
Good for you Guidry!
Very impressive win for Guidry, Scott maybe fat and rolly polly, but he’s no joke.
