Northeast Philadelphia heavyweight Joey “The Tank” Dawejko (22-10-4, 13 KOs) scored a fourth round TKO against “Fly” Mike Marshall (6-4-1, 4 KOs) on Thursday night at Parx Casino in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. Dawejko dropped Marshall with a short left hook in round two. Near the end of round four, Dawejko sent Marshall to the canvas again. Marshall beat the count, but the ref waved it off. Marshall didn’t like the stoppage.
In the co-feature, super lightweight Daiyaan Butt (11-2, 5 KOs) won a six round unanimous decision against journeyman Tyrone Luckey (15-18-4, 11 KOs). Scores were 58-56, 60-54, 60-54. Luckey’s ring savvy gave Butt problems.
Glad Dawejko got a victory. Hopefully now he can return to his rightful place of pushing prospects and lower ranked contenders as one of the finest current heavyweight journeymen.
Lucie, I would like to see Dawejko, Jason Gavern, and Johann Duhapas fight Richard Torrez. I think he can beat them, but they will test him. They are a step in durability.
